“When you usher, you meet a lot of people who are not involved with the theater, but (who still consider it) a very big part of their lives, and love to see the shows,”

“I kind of do 'theater everything.' I'm either in a show, or I go to see a show. . . . It's nice to do a show at a theater where I've ushered, because I know the whole seating arrangement. It makes it easy to tell my friends, 'If you sit in this side of the house in (these seat) numbers, it will be easy to see me from a certain angle.'”

“I'm just stunned that he would risk his own escape to go back and seek vengeance.”
