Plus One Summer 2012 July 28-29 - Interview #4: Myla Pitt

TIC's Plus One Solo Show Festival is at it again, firing up 4 seriously funny solo shows and a great musical guest this summer, July 28 and 29. Get your tickets now!

We interviewed the inspiring and stunning Myla Pitt about her piece, The Circle Flying Dance, a remembrance of her girlhood in the sixties, and how she strives to recapture that time of freedom and anarchy.

TIC: You were a member of the first class to graduate from the Actors Studio Drama School MFA program... what was that like?
Myla Pitt: I enjoyed my graduate school experience.  I had been pounding the pavement for awhile, so it felt good to be immersed in the process. 

TIC: What's the best advice you got on creating a solo show?
MP: Write about what interests you.  It's just you and the material--no other actors or play, so you need to like what you're doing.

TIC: Who or what inspires you?
MP: I get inspiration from people who stick with what they care about, despite the odds.

For a truly inspired and inspiring evening of solo shows and music, please join us for Myla's show and 3 other seriously funny solo shows (Rooftops by Jim Chu, Welcome to the Hallmark Emporium by Megan Melnyk, And She Bakes by Daliya Karnofsky and musical guest Sarah Aili).
