Ephraim Sykes
5 quotes
“He’s beautiful and big-hearted and yet simple in his intentions. What he happens to want is the most important thing in the world: love. He finds true love as a young man, and he’s willing to do anything for it. Beyond his gifts as a ball player and whatever else he could aspire toward, he says, “What I want is a family, and to make my family proud.” I fell in love with him and with the play instantly. My mind was blown that something could be so powerful and so simple at the same time”

“We made deep connections with each other in rehearsal, and we’ve been able to translate what we were doing to the stage and share it with our audiences. I have an amazing scene partner in Zoey Deutch [as Emily Webb]. From day one, we got into our own little world, and it still feels like that in the most beautiful way. This is one of the most diverse and eclectic casts, and we’re leaning into that and letting that be the representation of Our Town”

“It’s a challenge because I’ve never done this kind of storytelling. When I wanted to communicate something on stage, it was always, “I can dance it for you. I can show you how I feel when I move my body in a certain way. I can sing how I feel.” But now I’m getting to a place of feeling that I’m good using words to relay that same depth of emotionality. It’s been a beautiful learning process.”

“One-hundred percent. I have had so many moments of tokenism that broke my heart and made me want to remove myself from that form of casting—moments of [thinking] “I know you are casting me out of all the people auditioning because you want one Black person, just to say you have some form of representation.”

“They’re coming on opening night. They would never have seen this coming either, so it’s going to be a beautiful moment.”
