1. Describe what Paradoja Studios means to you.

​- Paradoja Studios reminds of the Island of Misfit toys. It's where the underdogs and outcasts thrive on showing what they can do. If Paradoja was a word in a dictionary, it would mean giving people who haven't given an opportunity a chance to do what the love.

2. How long have you been a member of the Paradoja family? 

- I've been a member since "Crossroads."

3. What sets Paradoja Studios apart from other groups? 

- This is probably the most comfortable and acceptable group I have ever been a part of. There is no drama and no one trying to take the spotlight from each other. It's a mentality where everyone is helping you up rather than knocking you down.

4. What has it been like to see Paradoja Studios grow, develop and change over the past few years? 

- Compared to last year, there's been a lot more ideas and opportunities open for new members like myself.

5. What have you learned from Paradoja so far?

- I learned that you can make friendships in a company without having your guard up all the time. I used to have my guard up when around an acting environment because you can't trust many people. Paradoja allowed me to be myself without being on edge all the time.

6. What is the rehearsal/meeting process like?

- I rehearse some scenes or go over meeting topics then, Scott and I make fun of each other. Rinse and repeat.

7.  How did you get started with Paradoja?

- After not being in contact for 3 years, I randomly tweeted Scott asking him if we were ever going to do our radio show and then he asked me if I could act in Paradoja. I said yes and the rest is history. Still waiting on our radio show though...

8. Are you a member of the cast or crew?

- Cast and part-time crew.

9. If you look back to when you first joined Paradoja, do you think Paradoja Studios turned in to what you thought it was going to?

- Still a bit of newbie for this question but I will say that I'm glad that I've signed on!.

10. What do you think of Mike Pagano? What have you learned from him personally and professionally?

- Mike is literally THE most welcoming person I've ever met. He's open to any idea and will compliment you consistently. I truly believe he has a heart of gold and will do anything for anyone. I have no doubt in my mind that he's going to be a success. It's not a matter of "if",  but "when" he makes it to the big time.

​1. Describe what Paradoja Studios means to you.

​- Paradoja means a place to create freely, to feel included, to explore ideas about theater, and to collaborate on a really big art project. Paradoja helped me to build my confidence as a director and producer, and offered me an opportunity to work with young artists that I may have not otherwise been able to work with.

2. How long have you been a member of the Paradoja family? 

- Since "Paradoja" was nothing more than a word in a notebook.

3. What sets Paradoja Studios apart from other groups? 

- Courage.

4. What has it been like to see Paradoja Studios grow, develop and change over the past few years? 

- The growth of Paradoja is parallel to the growth of its members. Over the years the shows have evolved and developed because the people who created them evolved and developed. It's been exciting to see the original members stick around and mentor the new people.

5. What have you learned from Paradoja so far?

- That theater is alive and well to those who are passionate about it.

6. What is the rehearsal/meeting process like?

- An open, creative, fun experience. Everyone is focused but still flexible to new ideas. Theater is a collaborative art form, and Paradoja rehearsals exemplify this.

7.  How did you get started with Paradoja?

- I am one of the founders. Mike approached me 6 years ago asking how to put on a show of his own material. I didn't have any theater projects lined up so I said I'd help him produce it. Two months later, Grindhouse opened.

8. Are you a member of the cast or crew?

- Cast/crew/director/producer/consultant/style icon.

9. If you look back to when you first joined Paradoja, do you think Paradoja Studios turned in to what you thought it was going to?

- I thought Paradoja was a one-time-only production. We all did. Paradoja was the name of the original show, not the group, so any indications that it would continue were non existent. It wasn't until the months after Grindhouse, when we started thinking about Exodus Event, that it became clear that we could do a "Paradoja presents..." kind of thing. Vice Versa is when we became Paradoja Studios.

10. What do you think of Mike Pagano? What have you learned from him personally and professionally?

-Mike Pagano and I have collaborated on dozens of projects. He's a passionate, brilliant artist and an extraordinary human being (which, I argue, is a more important trait). I'm always learning from him.

1. Describe what Paradoja Studios means to you.

- Paradoja means the world to me. I was never given a chance before paradoja (probably cause I'm a little out of my mind) but, Mike saw that and embraced it. Now I have a collective brotherhood that I would give everything to.

2. How long have you been a member of the Paradoja family? 

- Since paradoja zero or the crat pack.

3. What sets Paradoja Studios apart from other groups? 

- The family and the madness. A lot of theater companies treat shows like work we treat it like we are all family. I've been around the so called professionals and they just don't have the fun we have.

4. What has it been like to see Paradoja Studios grow, develop and change over the past few years? 

​- We've seen it grow so much we were a handful of people putting on the first two shows. Now, we are like a full blown paradoja island of misfits . Watching all this talent come in and perform with us and enjoy themselves just shows that clearly we are going in the right direction.

5. What have you learned from Paradoja so far?

- To believe in myself when others refuse to.

6. What is the rehearsal/meeting process like?

- It's a party where we always get work done and make every show crazy.

7.  How did you get started with Paradoja?

- Mike Pagano asked me to!

8. Are you a member of the cast or crew?

- Crew

9. If you look back to when you first joined Paradoja, do you think Paradoja Studios turned in to what you thought it was going to?

- No, it has become more than any of us could of imagined. Who knew that we would still be going this strong, years after Mike, Frankie and I left high school. This is like our haven and it keeps growing.

10. What do you think of Mike Pagano? What have you learned from him personally and professionally?

-There are no words that I can actually say that would give justice to what Mike has done for me. Him and his family really have made my life better in everyway. I don't think I'd be the person you see today without the Paganos I love them all from the bottom of my heart.
