Linda Emond
Survival Kit | May 6, 2010
Linda Emond says that if she weren’t an actor she’d “probably be working for the Environmental Protection Agency.” Well, they may have to wait a long time for her services, given the rave reviews she’s garnered for her performances in plays like Homebody/Kabul, Life x 3, The Dying Gaul, and “1776”. The New York Times has called her “one of the essential treasures of the New York
theater”. But I get the feeling that she’d enjoy a journey into the wild, if she had the time to spare. Let’s ask her what she’d bring along in her cultural survival kit.
Her List:
1. the bedding from the Ritz Hotel in Chicago
2. collected works of J. Krishnamurti
3. binoculars
4. quilting materials
5. as many Doris Day movies as possible
6. collected works of Dawn Powell (including her diaries)
7. my notebooks from my martial arts training
8. Pepperidge Farm seeded Jewish rye and good butter (I trust there's a toaster!)
