Thank you so much. David Lindsay-Abaire wrote a play about the nature of inconsolable grief that was so understated and nuanced that it actually seemed to breathe on the page. And Dan Sullivan took that play and taught it to walk and talk so perfectly that he made you believe you were watching real life and not a play at all. I was one of the five actors lucky enough to appear in that production and that is why I am getting this now. I want to thank David and Dan and the four incredibly talented and all-round wonderful actors that were in the play with me, the crew, the designers, Manhattan Theatre Club, and Emily Gerson-Saines, who has represented me with unfailing intelligence and unwavering devotion for the last 15 years.

I cannot tell you what it means to get a Tony to a theatre-junkie such as myself. You made me so, so happy tonight. Thank you so much.
