In the two years this show's been a thing, we've explored all sorts of reasons to make playlists, but here's a first for us: a mix made for an actor to better understand and inhabit her character. This set of songs comes from performer Madison Boan, who put this together a couple years ago to better dive into the character of Clare Wallace from Conor McPherson's play The Veil. In exploring the creation of this list, we talked with Madison about the creative process, healthy artistic behaviors, and kind of just the experience of feeling.
