- He admits he initially disliked improv and preferred writing rather than spontaneous scene work.
Bringing Baby To A Play Reading
- Whitney brought her newborn son to a Santa Barbara play reading and had him sit quietly during rehearsals.
- She used the outing to model including children in real-world adult activities instead of zero-entertainment babysitting.
