Inadvertent cast reunion, 2014
About half the members of the cast from The Moth and the Flame crossed paths in the fall of 2014. I was appearing in Katori Hall’s Our Lady of Kibeho, (see page here) at NYC’s Signature Theatre Co, and our run overlapped another show performing there, David Rabe’s Sticks and Bones, which had Nadia Gan in the cast. Then we lost an actor in Kibeho just before previews who was replaced by Irungu Mutu. Tonya Canada came to see our show one night, and Quinlan Corbett came to see Nadia’s the next. And then Gita Reddy came, and Yuri Skujins. We hoped that eventually we could get a photo with every cast member from The Moth and the Flame, but the shows just didn’t run long enough.
