Kevin Kline, Jared Sakren (Artistic Director for Southwest Shakespeare Company (SSC)), and myself at Mr. Kline's special benefit performance for SSC at the Mesa Arts Center on April 14, 2012.
The evening was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had in the theatre! Mr. Kline answered questions for a good hour after his performance and was thoroughly charming and funny. He recounted stories from his film and stage career including snippets on Meryl Streep, Will Smith, Kenneth Branagh and others.
Just a wonderful, wonderful night at the theatre!
