   There are always unexpected events that   37   the performance, and there are things I do myself to make each performance a little   38  . I believe that anyone with a   39   job can do things to make it more   40  . Traffic cops who dance while   41   traffic are one example, and subway workers who

  42   entertaining announcements are another.

   I’ve heard of employers coming up with ideas to keep employees from   43   in certain jobs, but for me, the   44   does that. Near the end of the play, I tell the detective who is trying to arrest me that I love him. Sometimes the audience laughs, sometimes someone   45  “Oh, my God” and sometimes the audience is silent,   46   to hear what the detective will say next. Each   47   changes the energy in the room and our performances.   48   the night, the audience, and the particular actor playing the detective, there are hundreds of ways to say “I love you,” and I have   49   them all.
