| Angie Atkinson portrays Jo in Barbicide |
Angie Atkinson, of Barbicide, sat down with The Theatre Project for a brief Q&A:
What’s your character all about?
"I love Jo. She's this sort of sad and tough girl who's disabled but doesn't really think about it, isolated but hopeful, sheltered but wise, and adorably boy crazy. And I love that her best friends are pigeons."
Without giving anything away, What is your favorite moment in Barbicide?
"It's hard to pick favorites, but I gotta say that I'm a huge fan of the opening scene. It sets the tone of the play so beautifully, and I love the imagery."
What is the biggest discovery you have made during this production?
"I used to act a lot more often, but I switched my focus to music about a year and a half ago. I'm loving the musician's life, but doing this piece has reminded me of how much I love acting and how much I miss doing it."
What has been one of your most memorable moments working on this piece?
"Christian giving Doug tips on how to be tender with women was pretty memorable."
What is your favorite drink?
"Ginger ale. It's true."
What is your favorite food?
"Oh, it's like asking me to pick my favorite child! I suppose I could probably eat tacos every day. But, like, the delicious & fresh kind in the soft corn tortillas with the cilantro and the onions and all that. Tacos al pastor are my favorite. Mmmmm."
What is your current obsession?
"I just got an Apple TV and have been streaming Magnum P.I. on NetFlix, and it is EVERYTHING. I also kind of hope that when I die I come back as one of Adam Levine's tattoos."
If you could give up one of your vices, what would it be?
"Eating my feelings. It happens."
What is one thing you waste too much money on?
"Definitely food. I'm a starving artist so I'm pretty frugal about most things, but I'm a sucker for delicious takeout."
What is one activity you waste too much time doing?
"Doubting myself, 'cause any time spent doing that is wasted."
What in the world most thrills you?
"Music. And meeting and connecting with other human beings, especially the ones of the cute boy variety."
What is your personal motto?
I often say to myself, 'One day at a time, sweet Jesus.' And then of course, there's 'Be a strong black woman,' which is the best advice I ever got.
