Reed Birney

Getting to be in AN OAK TREE with Tim was one of the all-time great nights. Not to be hyperbolic, it really was a completely unprecedented experience in my life. I had no nerves because it was very clear to me from speaking with Tim that there was no way I could do anything wrong and he was going to take complete care of us. And he did. He is a terrific and hilarious guy, and the evening comes from a real and passionate place in him to create something alive, and have the audience and actor experience it all at the same time. Pretty great.

Curiously, once it was done I had no impulse to do it again, that that was simply not what the experience was about. I had a ball. You will, too.
