Summer Bohnenkamp leads the MISERY cast as the unhinged bibliophile Annie Wilkes. We asked her a few questions in advance of the show’s run, which begins March 15 at the Straz Center. This production is in the intimate, 98-seat Shimberg Playhouse and performances are selling out weeks in advance.
You’ve worn a lot of different hats over the years for Jobsite. Is there a show that stands out as being your favorite to work on over that time, and if so what about it makes it so?

If I must pick, I’ll go with DOG SEES GOD. I only had one scene and it was just perfect — quick, memorable, funny, physical, over-the-top, rude, comfortably costumed, and I didn’t have to show up until places. All aces in my book. #lazyactor
You’re a superfan of crime dramas, serial killers, and so on. Have you always been like that, or was there a moment you can remember when you realized how much you enjoy the genres? What about it makes these kind of stories “stick” for you?

MISERY runs March 15 – April 9 at the Straz Center, and this show cannot be held over. Book now to spare disappointment later: seating is very limited and prices increase by date based on demand.
