Exclusive Interview: Leta Chrisman & Lisa Hanes of ‘Perfect Arrangement’
There’s that saying that history repeats itself, which seems to be one of the only constants in life. Trends fade, only to return decades later, reminding us that everything in life is cyclical. Both the good and the bad find their way back as the tides of life change over and over, whether we like it or not. That’s what makes shows such as Perfect Arrangement so crucial to the theatre landscape, highlighting past injustices and reminding people what can return if we bury our heads in the sand. Opening soon at Stagecrafters in Royal Oak, we spoke with director Leta Chrisman and cast member Lisa Hanes about their time with this production.
In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, Leta Chrisman and Lisa Hanes discuss what drew them to this project and what it’s like to tell a queer story such as this one. Why is this play so important to Chrisman, who championed a local production? Who is Hanes playing in the show, and how does she factor into the overall narrative? And just what exactly are they hoping audiences walk away from Perfect Arrangement with? Give this interview a listen to discover all that and more!
