1. Sharp Tack Productions is new — can you tell us about how it came together? Who else is involved, and what was the spark that led to actually forming a company?
2. You've been part of the Kitsap theater community as a playwright through Island Theatre's Ten-Minute Play Festivals. How did that writing background lead you toward producing and performing in a full-length production?
3. Your own short play 'A Nip in The Autumn Air' — a retired couple over pre-dinner drinks, tallying up a life in rumor, truth, and unresolved grievance — shares real DNA with 'Still.' Do you actively seek out material that resonates with your instincts as a writer?
4. What drew you specifically to 'Still' by Lia Romeo? What made it the right play to launch Sharp Tack with?
5. What's it like being directed by Sabrina Fiander? What does she bring to the room?
6. You're acting in a play you didn't write. As a playwright yourself, do you find the writer brain switching on — noticing the architecture, deconstructing the choices?
7. 'Still' lives entirely in the space between two people — what's said and what isn't, who they were and who they've become. How do you prepare for material that intimate and that quiet?
8. What's the bigger vision for Sharp Tack Productions? What kinds of stories do you want to tell, and what kind of audience are you hoping to build on Bainbridge?
9. Rolling Bay Hall is wonderfully intimate as a venue. How does the physical space shape a production that's already so emotionally close-quarters?
10. Bainbridge already has a rich theater ecosystem — BPA, Island Theatre, Lesser Known Players. What does it feel like building something new inside a community that already cares deeply about live performance?
11. Has living on Bainbridge shaped your creative voice in any tangible way? Does the place show up in what you write or the roles you choose?
12. What do you hope audiences carry out of 'Still' with them — not the theme or the message, but the feeling?
13. Is there anything else you'd like people to know — about the show, about Sharp Tack, about yourself? The floor is yours.
