Meet Summer Hill Seven
Summer Hill Seven was a performer before he found TLT. He is the author of SQUIRCULAR: An Actor's Tale!, the final book in the Poemedy Trilogy (www.squircular.com) and the director of The Poemedy Project, a hip-hop theatrical documentary film about education in America (www.poemedy.com).In Frankenstein, opening TONIGHT, SH7 plays The Creature. This is not Boris Karloff's bolt-necked, grunting monster. The Creature is intelligent, articulate, driven, and full of strength. His burning need to find out who created him, to discover why he was made, is something that as humans we can all empathize with. A little bit of Mary Shelley's Creature dwells inside us all.
Frankenstein is his first TLT production and we're thrilled to have him!
Tell us a little about who you are when you are not on stage.
I am a father and a Poemedian which involves being a performer and mixed-media artist entrepreneur. In short, buy my book - SQUIRCULAR: An Actors Tale!
How did you first get involved in theater?
In college, I was Paco in The Night of Iguana, by Williams.
What do you love most about acting?
Experiencing the creative transformation that is always available to humans at any moment and the empathy with various beings.
What drew you to Frankenstein?
The role and journey of the creature is unique, inspiring and beautifully tragic.
What is the most challenging aspect of this show?
The movement and voice work.
What would you say to encourage someone to try acting?
Go for it and read everything and listen to everything you can devour on the subject.
