Aiyanna Wade has been performing with Unrehearsed for about two years, having portrayed roles as varied as Viola in Twelfth Night and Gonzalo in The Tempest. She’ll be joining We Three June 9 – 25 for its sophomore production of Countess Bathory (a new Elizabethan Tragedy) and is performing in Big Fish at Madison Street Theater in Oak Park, July 21 – August 14. You can also see her on the Youtubes in Awesome Comics.
Q: If you could be banished anywhere by your dukely uncle, where would you go?
AIYANNA: Somewhere green with music, but still with running water and wi-fi. So, basically Ireland or Scotland. That would be super great, actually. Looking forward to banishment now!
AIYANNA: I enjoy walking around Lincoln Park Zoo almost every weekday. Each day I explore a different part, hoping to catch a different animal awake each time. My new favorite is the baby Macaque that was just born!
AIYANNA: A knife (incredibly useful tool for preparing food, defense, and whittling other tools), a flint (fire is good for cooking, defense, and just warmth), and an animal companion (in addition to being good company, they can catch their own food and also be used as protection) – preferably a dog because my cat would be just the worst in the woods.
AIYANNA: I’d have to go with the Shepherds. I love animals and have worked my share of odd jobs. Plus I crochet, so hello unlimited supply of yarn! My dog companion could help herd the sheep too. This could even potentially be in Ireland or Scotland! I don’t think I could pull off the cutesy little Shepherdess dresses, though. Ok, I totally could, but I don’t want to be giving the other Shepherds any funny ideas. Can I change my answer to Cross-dressing shepherds? (hello retirement plan…)
