Though her latest
production, "Nutcracker Nightmare," is set in a world where toys talk
and dolls kill, Actress Annie Hogan found it was the human realities of
the play that proved the most challenging.
"The biggest
challenge for me is allowing my character to have grief and sadness
without losing the humor that is inherent to the play, she said. "This
family has experienced an awful tragedy. The grief has to be present,
but you have to remember that these people are working through it. It is
active. It would be very easy, as an actor, to play one extreme or the
other - extreme grief/depression versus sitcom-type sadness. It's a
tricky balance."
