Exclusive Interview: Chris Steinmayer and Kevin Fitzhenry of St. Dunstan’s ‘Seminar’
We’ve all experienced the desire for validation from others at some point in our lives, as feeling accepted by others is a universal truth we all share. While true validation should come from within, many people seek it from outward sources, as a band-aid for someone we can’t seem to find ourselves. It’s this human experience that lies at the heart of the upcoming production from St. Dunstan’s Theatre, Seminar. This play uses humor to explore human insecurity in a quick-paced, equally biting 90-minute production. St. Dunstan’s Seminar premieres tonight, and we recently had the pleasure of speaking with cast member Chris Steinmayer and director Kevin Fitzhenry about why this show fits right with the theatre’s season.
In this exclusive Box Seat Babes Interview, Chris Steinmayer and Kevin Fitzhenry discuss what drew them to this play, with the former talking about how it’s been a long time coming for him to return to the stage in a straight show. Fitzhenry explores his approach to directing and how he likes to think of the show first as actors, which helps with the stage translation. Both Steinmayer and Fitzhenry discuss themes from the show that stand out to them and how they are pushing themselves to grow in their respective roles.
