In the Spring of 2004, I played Marcus Lycus in "A Funny Thing...Forum".  I got to be way over the top, which is something I feel right at home doing.  All of my courtesans were under 18 years old (See photo below right).  I was worried that people would think ill of me selling off young girls.  Well, when in ancient Rome...	That robe I'm in was so hot and I sweated so much, I had to spend lots       of time backstage putting on more red eye makeup.  I could hardly     keep  it on.  The necklace I'm wearing belongs to my mother.     I still have a set piece from Marcus Lycus' house.  It is a  piece of       that  curtain you see behind me in the photo above.     This was my second and last Sondheim show.  It wasn't as hard as        "Company" but it was challenging nonetheless.     I have since developed a theory about Sondheim; His shows are hard     because he doesn't have to perform them.     --Sidney Vaught (2006)
