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.

Why should we come see The Mysteries?: [...] I guarantee there is a line that will make you think after you leave. There are so many lines that Lucifer says that have made my head spin.
