“Six Characters in Search of an Author” by Luigi Pirandello has intellectually stimulated theater audiences since its first performance in 1921. This weekend from Oct. 3 to Oct. 6, the Mason Players will be sharing this play with the Mason community as its first piece presented in its 2013-2014 season. 

Under the direction of Alec Henneberger, this typically meta-theater piece will be taking on a new perspective. Henneberger took the time to talk to Fourth Estate to discuss the directing process, the role of the hero and what drives actors to pursue an acting career.
