Cam Pratt
Jim Fingal
I am certainly not Jim Fingal—and yet here you are, watching me portray what must have been a nerve-racking chapter of his early career. Is my portrayal accurate? Does it matter? I can’t help but return to the opening pages of the book that inspired this play: “True words are not beautiful... Beautiful words are not true.” — Lao-tzu With gratitude to my onstage family for their brilliance and to my wife for her endless support and grounding love.
Charlie Miller
