BWW Interviews: Monica Cappuccini as Maria Callas in MASTER CLASS Now Through Nov 6
Monica Cappuccini returned to the stage three and a half years ago after seventeen years away from acting. Now, she's mounting what she calls a dream role, the role of Maria Callas in Terrence McNally's play Master Class, playing now through November 6 at Hillbarn Theatre.
Master Class recently had a Broadway Revival starring Tyne Daly in New York. The production received high praises from critics. Cappuccini attributes the success of the show to Callas' very human, very relatable life and to the playwright's brilliant wording — wording which required her to memorize two hours worth of lines. Cappuccini spent two months memorizing the lines and researching the life of the real Maria Callas. She says the role and audiences' reactions are very gratifying for her as an actor, and she hopes audiences will continue to support the show and Hillbarn Theatre.
