The Gospel According to...Asia Kate Dillon
Name: Asia Kate Dillon
Hometown: Ithaca, NY
Education: Actor's Workshop of Ithaca Meisner Training; AMDA, NYC
Who do you play in The Mysteries?: Lucifer
Tell us about The Mysteries: An epic, radical retelling of the entire bible in one 6 hour event, with 50 plays by 48 of the most exciting playwrights, put together by a brilliant directing/design team and performed by 54 of NYC's brightest talents. Plus there's dinner and dessert, too!
Describe The Mysteries in three words: Groundbreaking. Evocative. Transformative. What's the wildest costume you wear in The Mysteries?: It's a secret ;) If you could be anyone from The Bible, who would you be?: According to buzzfeed.com, Esther. Whom I know nothing about but Judy Garland played Esther in 'Meet Me in St. Louis' which was a seminal film in my life so I glean great meaning from this.
Which company member is most likely to actually have lived during Biblical times?: Paul Thomas Truitt
Which company member is most likely to be the Messiah?: Colin Waitt
Most likely to become an angel?: Ricardo Davila
Most likely to hear voices in their head?: Tyler Gardella
Who's the most spiritual?: Kyle Hines
On the 8th day god said_____: Nothing. Lucifer's got this one ;)
Are you going to heaven or hell?: I am already in both for they are both here on Earth. There is no joy without pain.
Which of the Seven Deadly Sins are you?: Pride What's the biggest inside joke at The Mysteries?: Weeeeeeerq!
What's your favorite moment from The Mysteries?: Pentecost, even though I'm not in it, I just love it. I'm moved to sing, clap, laugh and cry, all backstage, all in one beautiful play. What is the most rewarding part about being a member of The Mysteries?: To be an emerging artist in NYC there has been no greater reward than the camaraderie I have found with every soul involved. The level of dedication is unparalleled and creates a unique environment for not only deep artistic growth but for deep exploration of the human condition. Juicy, eh?
Why should we come see The Mysteries?: Because we want you. We want you.

Are you going to heaven or hell?: Heaven, but Lucifer makes some convincing arguments.
...Ricardo Dávila
If you could be anyone from The Bible, who would you be?: That’s tough, because now I base all my ideas of these people on The Mysteries and if that’s the case then…I’d want to be Lucifer.
...Rebeca Rad
If you could be anyone from The Bible, who would you be?: Lucifer… Asia, our Lucifer, has breathed the most beautiful light and clarity into the character that I really empathize with their plight in the full trajectory of the story.
