Williams: Yes. The intern program is very important to us. The intern coordinator (producer Erica Rabbitt) has been working hard to give the interns opportunities to be a part of the production.

THC: I'd like to give you a moment to acknowledge that there are plenty of summer theater people who deserve the attention of an interview and that this is completely arbitrary.

Williams: That's true. But I like all the glory. I mentioned Erica, right?

THC: As a producer, who were your role models?

Williams: Elena [Decoste '98-'99]. That's actually a good question. No one as a little kid has dreams of being a producer. They want to direct or star. Most people don't even know what a producer is or does.

THC: Were there difficulties putting up Lend Me a Tenor?

Williams: Being the first production meant that we didn't have interns to help us put together the play. But that's the great thing about doing a farce--if anything goes wrong, or you have a problem, you just throw up your hands and say, "Ah, it's a farce."

THC: Is it true an actor was injured on the set?

Williams: I emphatically deny allegations.

THC: Is he [William Burke `99] filing suit?

Williams: I think he's just bitter that his bellhop pants were too short.

THC: Do you have anything else you'd like to add?

Williams: Not really, except that I'm going to get you, Scully, and I love you, Jennie.

THC: Have you heard of the author Martin Amis?

Williams: Yes. He wrote The Information, among other books. He's British, right?

THC: Correct.

Next Week: The Crimson chats with comedy all-stars Jessica Jackson '99 and William Burke '99. Harvard-Radcliffe Summer Theater has performance at the Loeb-Ex all summer. Tickets are available at the Sander's Theater Box Office.
