Hi! My name is Warren!
Or at least, that's my first lyric. My name is Max, and I play Warren.

I'm so happy to be working with Nautilus again because I really believe in the power of Wesley Balk's singer-actor process, and working on a play in an environment where I can feel free to try lots of different things is really exciting. I love an opportunity to try and fail and try again. Without getting too academic about it, the intersection between storytelling and music is really fascinating to me, and I think Adam Gwon has created a beautiful piece that allows the performers to explore and analyze that intersection. Oops, that sounded academic.
Warren and I are really similar in a lot of ways, which makes him fun to play. We're both trying to find our place in the world, what our contribution is, why we belong here and now. He makes me think of my favorite quote, from Rainer Maria Rilke:
"If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place."
