Adam Lishawa branches out from the Acrosstown Repertory Theatre to make his GCP debut in the British farce "Funny Money"!
AL: My character is Vic Johnson, a loving (if not too quick) husband and friend to Henry and Jean. Vic is quickly swept out-to-sea by Henry's scheming but gamely dog-paddles along behind, always willing to lend a friend a hand, amongst other things!
GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows.
AL: This is my first GCP play. Lately I've been working in some darker shows: "True West," "Glengarry Glen Ross," and "Bug." I've also done "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Tape," "The Complete History of America (Abridged)," and "Dog Sees God (Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead)," not to mention a few independent films and various voice-work jobs within the radio and commercial industry.
GCP Girl: Why did you audition for this show?
AL: After playing the more than slightly terrifying Peter Evans in "Bug," I desperately needed a light comedy. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to work with such a well-respected director as Jan.
GCP Girl: What has been your favorite part of this experience so far?
AL: The warmth and acceptance of such a wonderful and talented cast and crew. I came from the Acrosstown and everyone here has been so generous with their time and laughter that everyone already feels like family.
GCP Girl: If you discovered a briefcase with $1 million, what would you do with it?
AL: Move to and pay rent in NYC for a few months while auditioning my derriere off!
GCP Girl: What do you hope audiences take away from this show?
AL: Dreams are found around every corner. With a little luck, yours may be waiting where you least expect them to be.

GCP Girl: What inspires you?
AL: Every other theatre and film hopeful who wakes up each morning and tries to carve out a niche for themselves. It takes lots of hard work and more than a dollop of luck to make that aforementioned dream a reality, but it all starts with the work.
GCP Girl: Tell me something about yourself you'd like everyone to know!
AL: I'm a rollercoaster junkie and have made coaster treks through the States before. It's almost time for another one!
