The Chicago cast has grown since the spring. Five new members were brought onboard this summer. They jumped right into the rehearsal process gearing up to perform. Adam Higgins is one of these new performers. He approaches every day of Hogwash with unmarked enthusiasm. He is always right there, ready to up in and add a special something to the show. Adam helped open our fall run performing in the first two shows. Adam, thank you for the smiles. You are a pleasure. You are a chickadee with the heart of an ostrich. Thank you.
-What do you enjoy most about Hogwash?
I love how completely ego less the whole ensemble is fully committed to making a great show for the audience.
-When did you start performing with Hogwash?
My first show was August 18Th. This was the first troupe I auditioned for in Chicago after being here for only a week.
-So far, what has been your most memorable moment?
I've had a great time working with all the different musical directors. I normally shy away from singing, leaving it to those with training and talent, but this whole process has been very support of my off-key warbling, so I've really learned to enjoy the musical elements.
-What was your favorite moment from last week's show?
I think the best part was finally getting the little girl in the audience to give us a suggestion, she was pretty afraid of us until then, but once she opened up it was great.
-Who do you admire?
I admire all artists who don't take themselves too serious, whatever medium they create in. I think Shel Silverstein is a great example of that, he wrote plays, poems, kids books, music for famous performers, but always was able to laugh at himself and what he produced.
