Exclusive Interview: Michael Alan Herman and Josie Herman of Theatre Nova’s ‘The Last Wide Open’
Life seems full of What-ifs, which is something I think about constantly. Not in a way that I’m regretting the decisions I’ve made up to this moment, but looking more with a fascination of what could have been, if something small had been changed. I know I’m not alone in this, as the idea of what could be is enchanting to think about, since life could look vastly different because of a choice that feels perhaps insignificant at the time. The Last Wide Open, which is making its Michigan premiere at Theatre Nova, explores those possibilities across three different timelines and their impact on the power of love. We spoke with the two cast members from this production, Michael Alan Herman and Josie Herman, about what it’s like to bring this show to Theatre Nova!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Michael and Josie Herman discuss what it’s like to tell this out-of-time love story, and how being married in real life influences the show unfolding on stage!
