Christopher Orth playing Paul
Have you ever received anything meaningful (or otherwise) that was left to you by someone in their will?
I've unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) only received something once as an inheritance; a modest amount of money from my grandmother. But outside of that this show has been the closest I've come to a large financial windfall.
Are you a fan of the "whodunit" / murder mystery genre?
Murder mysteries are my favorite genre for plays and a second favorite for literature; Agatha Christie being one of my favorite authors. Looking at my theatrical history I've been involved with more murder mysteries than any other genre of play. "The Vultures" is also the second comedic murder mystery that I've been involved with, the other being a spoof of Christie's "And Then There Were None" entitled "Something's Afoot."
Have you ever spent any time in a haunted house / space?
I have been inside and around several haunted spaces (there are a few right here in Milwaukee); I'm fairly convinced Inspiration Studios has at least one ghost. I've passed through more than one sudden cold spot in the building.
Do you believe in ghosts?
I do believe in ghosts! There have been three different times I feel I've encountered a spirit. One of the creepiest occurrences happened when I was in college; I was camping with some friends and in the evening sitting around a campfire we witnessed glimmers of light through the trees. There were some other groups camping not too far away so we didn't think anything of it at the time, but late that night in our tent we woke to the sound of voices and footsteps right outside our tent. Stepping back outside the voices disappeared and we found no one around. We were awoken by voices and footsteps again, and by first light decided it may be best to end our camping trip a bit early. Been camping many times since in different areas and have never had a repeat of that night.
Name a few of your favorite 'spirits'.
