All-time favorite ASC Moment:
In the 2017 Summer/Fall production if Much Ado about Nothing, when Claudio took off his mask to “reveal” himself after it was obviously him and an audience member gasped ridiculously. I died of laughter. That was the moment I was convinced that plays are better than movies.
