Fina Strazza On ‘John Proctor’ Broadway Success
John Proctor Is The Villain is one of Broadway’s most buzzed-about plays. In the coming-of-age story, a group of students begin studying The Crucible at the start of the #MeToo movement. As a series of events come to light, the students question their perspective on The Crucible and their own lives.
1.
Did you read The Crucible before auditioning for John Proctor Is The Villain?
2.
I loved the use of music in John Proctor, like Lorde’s “Green Light.” What is your connection to the music used in the play? Do you sing and write music yourself?
3.
You mentioned that you workshopped the play with Danya and Sadie. Were you always considered for the role of Beth, or did you ever consider other parts?
4.
Beth’s character evolves quite a bit, especially in Act 2. How do you feel your performance has evolved over time?
5.
I’ve always wondered what it’s like to be on a Broadway stage. What is that feeling for you when you step on stage?
6.
Do you have any favorite memories with the cast?
7.
Huge congratulations to you, the cast, and the crew! You’re the youngest Tony nominee this year; what was your reaction to hearing your nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play?
8.
I watched Fear Street: Prom Queen on Netflix last night, and it was terrifying. Tiffany is a much different character from Beth. Was it a fun experience getting to do a horror film?
9.
Did you get to meet R.L. Stine?
10.
John Proctor Is the Villain is an incredible play. What do you hope audiences take away from your performance?
Thank you, Fina, for sharing great insight! See John Proctor Is The Villain at the Booth Theatre until July 13th, and keep up with Fina on Instagram. If you like horror, don’t miss Fear Street: Prom Queen on Netflix.
