"Sister" Zentmyer discusses Sean Hayes

About the Author Mary Zentmyer has been playing the role of "Sister" in Late Nite Catechism: The Series for 14 years. In this blog entry she discusses her connection to the star of "Will & Grace,"Broadway's Promises, Promises and recent host of the 2010 Tony Awards.

"I did children's theatre with Sean Hayes back in "the day," long before "Will & Grace." He was the actor who made everybody else LAUGH every morning, and he would play the piano for the other actors, when they had audition pieces to work on. He played The Mad Hatter and The Caterpillar when I played a Fashion Flower and The Queen of Hearts, in Alice in Wonderland, at Pheasant Run Theatre, in St. Charles, IL. What I remember are his SKINNY legs, in that purple — yes, purple — not green, caterpillar costume.  I did several kids' shows with Sean in the early '90's, before he went out to L.A.  — like '91 and '92... He was the best — just naturally FUNNY, and really NICE to work with. I believe that Sean was born a HOOT! Everyone loved him.

xoxo, You, go, Crazy Sean! Love, Mary Z."
