A long time ago, in Oklahoma City, when I was a sophomore in high school, I joined the Drama Club. By the time I was a senior, I had played Emily in Our Town. In college, I took Shakespeare and Aristotle’s Poetics. I studied the works of Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. I played a daffy, brassy housemaid named Toinette, a lead character in Moliere’s The Imaginary Invalid. My performance astonished my teachers, my classmates, and even my Mother who famously said, “I didn’t know you had it in you."
