We caught up with Cornelius to talk with him about his upcoming tour hitting the city where elements of the play were birthed. Here is what he told us:
1. How are you feeling about putting your show up in DC? I'm feeling a bit nervous and excited. Nervous because I'm here in NYC doing all my preperations and I don't have an actual hands on with the DC community, however, I'm excited about the anticipation of the DC premiere, the crowd, then venue, the festival as a whole.
2. What are you most looking forward to? I'm most looking forward to connecting with a new audience of theater goers and non-theater goers in DC, and experiencing DC's Captial Fringe Festival. I'm also really excited about reconnecting with old friends from high school, some whom I haven't seen in over 13 years...yeah DC is my old stopping ground...I went to high school there.
3. Are you excited about playing to another sold out audience? Of course I am. That's a huge accomplishment and says a lot about my work as an individual and an artist.
4. What are the top 5 songs in your ipod right now? The songs that I'm listening to at the moment are: Bilal - "Hollywood", Banda Eva - "Nao Precisa Mudar", Regina Spektor - "Fidelity", India Arie - "Chocolate High", Jamie Foxx - "Blame It"
5. Michael Jackson OR Elvis Presley? MICHAEL - please let him rest in peace.
