Q. Who do you play in Boeing Boeing? What is your character like?
A. I play Gabriella, Bernardo's Italian kitten. Gabriella is wild, curious, and full of passion. She also has a very sharp wit, and is quick to call Bernard out, regardless of whether she is understandable or not.
Q. Without giving too much away, what is your favorite scene in the show?
A. My favorite scene is when Bernard and Robert keep trying to get Gabriella to leave the apartment and she completely refuses and makes everyone's lives more difficult.
Q. What is your favorite line from the show?
A. My favorite line is Gloria's when she says, "Cute hat Bertie!" The sheer randomness of it makes me snort every time.
Q. Why do you think audiences enjoy farces so much?
A. When we see more straight plays we tend to get more emotional, which can be very cathartic. When we watch language heavy comedies it forces us to work our brains to understand what is happening. All of those are wonderful, but farces allow the actors to do most of the work, leaving the audience to tap into that deeply rooted innocent mind that makes us laugh at fart jokes, uncomfortable introductions, and high tension.
Q. Boeing Boeing was first performed in London in 1962. What will an audience get out of it now?
A. There are timeless themes in Boeing Boeing. Whether or not the situation is as extreme, we all experience the want to be loved in return by someone at certain points in our lives. This is especially prevalent today in terms of someone not being ready to commit to a relationship. In this big city it's hard enough finding a relationship, and even harder to make it last. This show amplifies those fears but also, in a strange reversed way, showcases the strength that women have over man's fear of commitment. Plus: Hot chicks in flight attendant outfits... SOLD.
Q. If you could sum up this show in one word, what would it be?
A. WILD
Q. Do you have any projects coming up after Boeing Boeing?
A. I will be working on a solo performance including aerial silks and my writing, some stuff about love (naturally) and a lot about growing up in a crazy Filipino household.
Q. What would you like to see 906 Theatre Company do next?
A. I would like to see some satire definitely, it is a great place for some personal connections with the audience. Perhaps something more modern? I have recently become obsessed with Julie Marie Myatt's August is a Thin Girl. Perhaps something along that line.
