MEET J. PAUL BOEHMER
​Duke Senior/Duke Frederic in As You Like It​

• Hometown: Los Angeles
• Training: Professional Theatre Training Program at the University of Delaware
• What was the role that changed your life? Hamlet. It was the one role that demanded I use all my skills and ability and also be absolutely present at every moment of every rehearsal and performance. The other role was Heisenberg in Copenhagen, directed by Bruce Sevy, for exactly the same reason.
• Why are you an actor? Being an actor is what I always wanted to be, so I am living the dream.
• What would you be doing if you weren’t an actor? I think I would be a teacher, I think that is what actors do also.
• Ideal scene partner: I would have to say that working with Judy Dench would be a dream come true. I love her work, and I think it would be a thrill.
• Why does this play matter? Because it asks us at all turns who we think we are, and what do we put on to support that image we try to maintain?
• What do you hope the audience gets out of As You Like It? I hope the audience has a lovely evening at the theatre.
• Finish this sentence: “All I want is … “ to work on fulfilling projects.
