MEET SETH KOPROSKI

With a special background in puppetry, Seth Koproski makes his Beautiful Soup debut as the Helmer family servant in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. Check out his interview with us below!

With hundreds of casting calls a week in this city, what attracted you to this project? The play, of course! Who wouldn't want to be a part of A Doll's House? It's one of those great shows that's an iconic part of theater.

What do you hope audience members come away with after seeing the show? The same thing I hope they come away with after any show I'm in: a different perspective or understanding of the world around them.

Who or what inspired you to go into theatre? Shakespeare, really. We read A Midsummer Night's Dream in 8th grade English and my teacher said I had a knack for it, so I went for it.

What's your dream role?  Right now? A working actor.

Who is your hero and why? Oh God, that's a hard question... let's see... probably Batman.

What's the greatest experience you've had on stage? 
Strangely enough, a completely ensemble-created six person movement piece based on Hitchcock's The Birds staged on a four-by-eight platform.

Who is the one person you haven't worked with that you would like to? Julie Taymor, despite the bad rap she's gotten from Spider-Man. Maybe The Lion King-era Taymor.

What's your favorite musical/play and why? King Lear, and I don't think a 'why' is necessary.

What's your favorite ice cream? Peanut butter. In anything.

Nora or a Torvald? I think I'm more likely to forsake things than to be forsaken. In general.
