✨COMPANY SPOTLIGHT ✨ Today we are featuring THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST’s Gwendolen Fairfax, played by Cassandra Ybarra Babcock. Read their answers below. For the full interview, check out our blog on the BBTP website. • • •
1) What has drawn you to be involved in theatre? The way theater creates a new world for the actors and the audience to live in together is magic to me. I love the opportunity to get to explore a way of life that is different than mine within the character’s circumstances.

2) What do you like most about the character you are playing or the job you are doing for The Importance of Being Earnest? Her “Absolute Confidence”. She is well educated and isn’t shy about sharing her knowledge with anyone and everyone within earshot. She will share it regardless if anyone is listening or even in the room with her. I love that she is so absolute about every idea, every lecture, her ideals & most of all, her point of view about a person. Even if it changes in a matter of seconds, she is 100% committed to her new “right” choice. Her way with words and her word play is also very fun to live in but I guess that is across the board with all characters, thanks to Mr. Wilde’s brilliance.

3) What is your comfort food? This is probably going to be the oddest answer to this question but… Grapes- specifically Green Grapes. I don’t know why but that is the first thing that comes to mind. Soup is a close second.

4) Describe your greatest accomplishment. I would have to say my college directing thesis project, Exhibit: Frida. It was a main stage production about the artistic life and sufferings of my idol, Frida Kahlo. I love collaboration among artists and using multiple art mediums to tell a story.
