>> Ted: NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON, A LOOK AT THE ARIZONA COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND HOW IT HELPS VOTERS DECIDE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO RETAIN JUDGES AND JUSTICES AND LATER ON CRONKITE NEWS, COULD PERSONAL DATA BE USED TO PROSECUTE WOMEN WHO GET ABORTIONS?

GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.

A LAWSUIT WAS FILED YESTERDAY.

IT CALLS FOR ARIZONA'S 15-WEEK BAN ON ABORTION TO RESUME TO PROVIDE CLARITY REQUIRING THE STATE'S MANY CONFLICTING APPORTIONABORTION LAWS.

THE SUIT CLAIMS THERE'S SO MUCH CONFUSION RIGHT NOW THAT DOCTORS AREN'T CLEAR AS TO WHICH ABORTION SERVICES ARE PROHIBITED AND WHICH ARE NOT.

THE SUIT CALLS FOR HARMON HIGHS INSHIGHSHARMON HIGHSIZING LAWS AND UNDER APPEAL TO APPLY TO NONPHYSICIANS WHO PERFORM APPORTIONS.

ECONOMIC NEWS, GAS PRICES COULD DOGO UP BECAUSE OPEC WILL CUT BY TWO MILLION BARRELS A DAY IN NOVEMBER AND THE BIGGEST IN TWO YEARS AND FLIES AGAINST EFFORTS BY THE U.S. AND EUROPE TO LIMIT THE MASSIVE REVENUE THAT RUSSIA MAKES FROM THE SALE OF CRUDE.

THIS COULD MEAN INFLATION IN THE U.S. STAYS AT HIGHER RATES FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

A NEW POLL FINDS AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S.

THINK THE COUNTRY IS EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.

THE SURVEY BY CNN AND THE KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION FINDS THAT MOST PRESSING CONCERNS ARE THE OPIOID PANDEMIC, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AMONG TEENS AND KIDS AND SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS IN ADULTS.

THE POLL FOLLOWS CDC REPORTS THAT DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS REACHED LOCAL LEVELS IN 2021 AND IT WAS AFTER TWO YEARS OF DECLINE.

>>> THE ARIZONA COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW WAS RELEASING THE FINDINGS ON EACH JUDGE AND JUSTICE APPEARING FOR RETENTION ON NOVEMBER'S GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT.

HERE TO TELL US MORE IS WILL AUTHOR, THE STATE COMMISSION'S COCHAIR.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

LET'S START WITH THE ARIZONA COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND WHAT IS THAT?

>> IT'S A COMMISSION APPOINTED BY THE ARIZONA SUPREME COURT AND IT COMPRISES 34 MEMBERS AND ETHNICALLY DIVERSE MEMBERS AND MOST ARE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WITH NO LEGAL BACKGROUND OR TRAINING.

THE SMALL NUMBER ARE JUDGES AND A SMALL NUMBER ARE LAWYERS.

IT WORKS FOR THE MERIT SELECTED JUDGES AND PRIMARILY FOR A TRIAL COURT JUDGES, IT'S COCONINA, PIMA, MARICOPA AND PINAL AND THE COURT OF APPEALS AND STATE >> Ted: DEFINE MERIT.

>> IT'S SINCE THE 1970S AND A VETTING PROCESS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE ON THE JUDICIARY AND LARGER COUNTIES.

AND SO THEY GO THROUGH A PROCESS AND THROUGH A SELECTION COMMITTEE AND NAMES ARE DELIVERED TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND THE GOVERNOR WILL APPOINT PEOPLE FROM THAT LIST AND VERY LITTLE PUBLIC INPUT INTO WHO GETS APPOINTED TO BE A JUDGE AND THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN AS THE COMMISSION.

WE ARE DOING THE REVIEW AFTER THE JUDGE HAS BEEN APPOINTED WHEN THEY'RE UP FOR RETENTION EVERY CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VOTERS AND THE PUBLIC HAVE THE DATA THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE A DECISION, AN INFORMED DECISION WHICH JUDGES TO RETAIN AND WHICH NOT.

>> Ted: NO PUBLIC INPUT AS FAR AS APPOINTMENTS AND RETENSE GETS RETENTION GETS A BIG INPUT.

>> DURING A REVIEW PERIOD FOR PRECEDING THE ELECTION, A JUDGE WILL HAND OUT SURVEYS TO ANYONE WHO COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE COURT, LAWYERS, PARTIES, LITIGANTS, JURORS, WITNESSES, COURT STAFF AND THESE SURVEYS THEN GET COLLECTED AND THE DATA IS GATHERED AND SURVEYS HAVE SEVERAL CATEGORIES AND SUBCATEGORIES AND LEGAL REASONING, JUDICIAL TEMPERAMENT AND BASIC FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY AND PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATIVE PERFORMANCE AND THESE ARE ALL CATEGORIES THAT ANYONE WHO INTERACTS WITH A COURT OR JUDGE DURING A RETENTION CYCLE WILL HAVE THE INCORPORATE ABILITY THE INCORPORATE THE ABILITY TO FILL IT OUT.

>> Ted: IS YOUR NAME APPLIED?

>> THE NAME IS NOT NECESSARILY APPLIED.

THE SURVEYS ARE TAKEN AND THEY'RE DONE SORT OF IN THE BLIND, IF YOU WILL.

BUT A JUDGE COULD FIGURE OUT, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT, OK, THIS IS A AN ATTORNEY WHO HAS APPEARED IN FRONT OF ME BASED ON SOME COMMENTS, PERHAPS, THAT ARE MADE.

>> Ted: SO BASED ON THOSE REVIEWS, THE JUDGE GETS A MEETS STANDARDS OR DOESN'T MEET'S STANDARDS.

>> THERE ARE CERTAIN KINDS OF CRITERIA THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO LOOK FOR, WHETHER THERE'S A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF UNACCEPTABLES IN ANY OF THE SPECIFIC CATEGORY.

THEN WE WILL NOTIFY THE COURT OR THE JUDGE THAT THEY MET A THRESHOLD ISSUE, FOR EXAMPLE.

THE JUDGE WILL VONOPPORTUNITY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO US AND EXPLAIN AND TALK ABOUT THE SCORES THAT MET THE THRESHOLD ISSUES OR ANY OTHER ISSUE THAT A COMMISSIONER THINKS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE.

>> Ted: ARE GRADES CHANGED AFTER THE CONVERSATIONS?

>> THE SURVEYS ARE DONE AT THAT POINT.

SO THE COMMISSION DOESN'T VOTE ON WHO MEETS STANDARDS OR NOT UNTIL THE INTERVIEWS ARE CONDUCTS.

AFTER THE JUDGES RESPONDED AND AFTER THE DATA HAS BEEN ANALYZED AND REVIEWED, WE GO TO THE VOTE, WHETHER THEY MEET STANDARDS OR NOT.

THAT'S A PUBLIC MEETING AND THE PUBLIC CAN ATTEND AND SEE THE VOTE OF THE COMMISSION.

AND THEN ONCE THE VOTE TAKEN, ALL OF THE DATA, NOT JUST THE VOTE, BUT ALL OF THE DATA IS AVAILABLE FOR THE VOTERS.

VOTERS.

>> Ted: HOW OFTEN DO JUDGES NOT MEET STANDARDS?

>> WE HAVE A HIGH CALIBER OF JUDICIARY IN THIS STATE AND WE'RE LUCKY AND SO WE DON'T HAVE MANY EXAMPLES ON A YEAR-TO-YEAR BASIS OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T MEET STANDARDS.

WE'VE HAD SOME AND THIS YEAR THERE'S ONE AND ANOTHER ONE THAT IS CLOSE.

206,2016, WE HAD ONE AND THERE'S PEOPLE WHO DON'T MEET STANDARDS AND ALSO THAT DON'T OBTAIN THE COMMISSION'S VOTE THAT THEY MEET THE STANDARDS.

>> Ted: WHERE DO THEY GO?

>> WE NOTIFY THEM THEY DIDN'T MEET THE THRESHOLD AND OFTEN, WE'LL APPEAR IN ONE AND THEY WILL TALK TO US ABOUT THE DATA AND OFFER EXPLANATIONS AND CHANGE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE NOTED AS BEING POOR OR UNACCEPTABLE.

AND MANY CIRCUMSTANCES, THE COMMISSIONERS UNDERSTAND WHERE THE JUDGE IS COMING FROM.

>> Ted: THAT BRINGS UP THE POINT OF THE VOTERS NOW AND THIS IS A VOTER GUIDE HERE AND COULD THE VOTERS LOOK AT THE REVIEWS AND SAY, I THINK THIS IS JUST FINE?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WE ARE IN A WAY A RECOMMENDATION, RIGHT?

WE HAVE REVIEWED THE DATA AND INTERVIEWED THE JUDGES AND ALL OF IT IS PUBLISHED AND ANYONE CAN ABOUT GO TO OUR WEBSITE, APJUDGES.INFO AND GO AS FAR BACK AND SEE HOW THEIR SCORES HAVE TRENDED AND TRENDED IN THE RIGHT OR WRONG DIRECTION?

ALL OF THIS DATA IS AVAILABLE.

IT'S IN THE VOTER GUIDE AND WE'VE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO TRY TO MAKE IT MANAGEABLE AND THE VOTER GUIDE GETS BIGGER EVERY YEAR AND WE'VE WORKED TO CONDENSE IT AND THE UNDERLYING DATA AND THE VOTE AND THE DATA FROM ALL OF THE SURVEYS IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT ANY TIME.

>> Ted: THAT WEBSITE?

>> ACJUDGES.INFO.

>> Ted: HOW OFTEN TO JUDGES LOOK AT THIS OR NOT LOOK AT IT AND SAY, I WANT THIS JUDGE ADIOS?

>> WELL, IT HAPPENED IN 2014, ONE OF THE TWO JUDGES THAT DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS WAS VOTED OUT, WAS NOT RETAINED AS A RESULT OF THE PUBLIC VOTE AND I HOPE THE VOTERS STUDY THE DATA AND IT'S INTERESTING AND WE HAD A CAMPAIGN ON THE COMMISSION TO FINISH THE BALLOT.

IT'S A COMMON THEME WE HEAR FROM JURORS OR VOTERS.

TOO MANY.

IT'S TOO LONG.

YOU KNOW, THE JUDGES DESERVE THE PUBLIC ATTENTION TO IT AND QUITE FRANKLY, THE PUBLIC, IT'S THEIR OPPORTUNITY AND THEY NEED TO VOTE AND NEED TO BE INFORMED VOTERS.

>> Ted: IT'S INFORMED INFORMATION AND AUTHOR THE REVIEW AND WILL, GOOD TO HAVE YOU.

>> WELL, THANK YOU.

>> Ted: UP NEXT, A RESOURCE FOR VOTERS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CANDIDATES FOR AN IMPORTANT WATER CONSERVATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

THE ARIZONA MUNICIPAL ABORTION ASSOCIATION PARTNERED BY THE KYL CENTER AT THE MORRISON INSTITUTE TO COME UP WITH A NEW VOTER GUIDE REGARDING CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR THE WATERER CONSERVATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS WE WELCOME THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR USERS ASSOCIATION AND THAT'S A LOT OF TITLES AND GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Ted: THE CENTRAL ARIZONA CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND WHAT IS THIS?

>> THE CENTRAL ARIZONA WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT IS THE STATUTORY LEGAL AUTHORITY THAT OVERSEES THE CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT OR CAP.

AND THE CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT IS THE 336 MILES OF CANAL AND SYSTEM THAT BRINGS WATER FROM LIVE HAVASU AND DOWN TO TUCSON.

>> Ted: A MULTIPLE COUNTY DISTRICT, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT.

THIS OVERSEES MARICOPA AND PINAL.

>> Ted: MAKING SURE THE WATER IS BEING PAID FOR, THE FEDERAL MONEY IS PAID BACK AND THAT SORT OF STUFF?

>> CORRECT.

THE CAWCD BOARD IS THE ENTITY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CAP CANAL ALONG WITH MAKING SURE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS REPAID FOR CONSTRUCTING THE CANAL DURING THE 1980'S.

ALONG WITH THAT, THE CAWCD BOARD SETS THE RATES FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE COLORADO RIVER WATER TO ITS CUSTOMERS.

THOSE CUSTOMERS INCLUDE THE VALLEY CITIES AS WELL AS OTHER MUNICIPAL PROVIDERS ALONG WITH TRIBES AND INDUSTRY.

THEY ALSO SET A TAX.

THEY HAVE A PROPERTY TAX THAT IS USED FOR REPAYING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CANAL.

AND FINALLY, THEY SET POLICIES ON OVERSEEING THE OPERATION OF THE CANAL, AS WELL AS THE WATER THAT THEY ARE DELIVERING.

>> Ted: WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW IS A WAY -- AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THEY'RE VOTED IN HERE AND HOW MANY OPENINGS ARE THERE IN THIS ELECTION?

HOW MANY CANDIDATES AND HOW MANY OPENINGS ARE THERE?

>> THE CAWCD BOARD CONSISTS OF 15 MEMBERS AND EVERY TWO YEARS, FIVE POSITIONS ARE OPEN.

SO THIS YEAR THERE ARE FIVE POSITIONS HERE IN MARICOPA COUNTY.

AND THERE ARE 14 INDIVIDUALS RUNNING FOR THOSE FIVE SEATS.

AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT POSITION AND PROVIDE THE INFORMATION TO VOTERS ABOUT THE POSITIONS OF THE CANDIDATES.

>> Ted: THE GUIDE IS A QUESTIONAIRE OF SORTS AND HOW MANY QUESTIONS WERE ASKED?

>> SO WE SENT A SURVEY TO ALL OF THE CANDIDATES ASKING THEM TO RESPOND.

AND THERE WERE SIX QUESTIONS AND I WOULD SAY THE FIRST THREE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT.

THAT INCLUDES, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR THE CAWCD BOARD AND WHAT DO YOU SEE ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FOR CAWCD AS WE'RE MOVING INTO A FUTURE WITH A LOT OF CHALLENGES ON THE COLORADO RIVER?

AND WHAT ARE YOUR UNIQUE SKILLS OR PERSPECTIVES THAT YOU WOULD BE BRINGING TO HELP ADDRESS THOSE CHALLENGES?

>> Ted: DID EVERY CANDIDATE RESPOND TO EVERY QUESTION?

>> WE RECEIVED 11 RESPONSES, SO 11 CANDIDATES RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY AND WE COMPILED THAT TOGETHER AND HAVE MADE IT NOW AVAILABLE ON THE KYL CENTER FOR POLICY'S WEBSITE AND THE HYDROLOGICAL SOCIETY'S WEBSITE.

>> Ted: THESE RESPONSES WERE BY WAY OF EMAILS, PERSONAL INTERVIEWS?

>> WE SENT THE QUESTIONAIRE VIA EMAIL AND THEY RESPONDED WITH WRITTEN ANSWERS AND WE COMPILED THOSE AND NO EDITING OF THEIR RESPONSES AND SO IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE STATED, AS WELL AS NO ENDORSEMENT FOR THE CANDIDATES.

>> Ted: AND PARTY AFFILIATION, IS THAT MENTIONED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IN THE GUIDE?

>> NO, AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART BECAUSE HERE IN THE BOARD, OVERSEEING THE CAWCD IS NON-PARTISAN.

AND SO, NO D OR R SHOULD COME INTO H20 AND WORKING ON ON THAT AND SO IT'S A NON-PARTISAN RACE AND WE FEEL LIKE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WATER FOR PEOPLE IN ARIZONA, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM YOU'RE ON.

WE ALL NEED WATER AND WATER IS VERY CRITICAL.

THE CAWCD BOARD PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE.

WE JUST FEEL IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WITH THE DECISIONS THAT THEY WILL BE MAKING THAT WE HAVE FOLKS ON THERE THAT ARE VERY ENGAGED, ARE GOING TO BE ACTIVE ON THE BOARD, AS WELL AS ARE BRINGING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WATER AND UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES THAT ARE FACING THE CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT.

>> Ted: WARREN, WE THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

VOTERS NEED TO KNOW THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING AND YOU CAN VOTE ON IT AND THIS IS A WAY TO GET INFORMATION.

I'M GLAD YOU GOT THAT WORD OUT AND GOOD LUCK.

>> THANK YOU.

>> A TOE THEY TONY WINNING ACTRESS WILL APPEAR AND JOINING US NOW IS TREZANA BEVERLEY AND ALSO DEBRA ANN BYRD AND GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND THANK YOU BOTH FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> 29th SEASON?

>> YES, 29th SEASON.

>> Ted: THINGS GOING WELL?

>> WE'RE VERY EXCITED.

>> Ted: YOUR IDEA IS TO EXPAND THE VISION OF "SOUTHWEST SHAKESPEARE" AND YOU PLAYING KING LAIRD, THAT'S EXPANDING THE VISION.

[ Laughter ] >> ABSOLUTELY.

THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN FOR REAL, THOUGH.

AND SO, WE ASKED SUZANNA TO PLAY KING LAIRD AS A WOMAN OR MAN AND I LIKE IT AS A MAN AND I NEED THE CHALLENGE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT AND SEEING WHAT HAPPENS WITH IT.

IT'S A TRADITION THAT DATES BACK INTO THE 1830'S AND '40'S AND '50'S AND HERE WE GO.

>> Ted: AND THIS ISN'T YOUR FIRST TIME AROUND.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS QUITE AWHILE.

>> I DID IT ALMOST NINE YEARS AGO.

DEBRA AN.

HAD A THEATER IN NEW YORK.

>> Ted: WHAT WAS THE REACTION.

>> IT WAS WONDERFUL.

WHEN YOU HAVE TIME AND DISTANCE BETWEEN A ROLE AND SETTLES IN LIKE A STEW, YOU LEARN SO MUCH MORE.

>> Ted: DO YOU THINK THE REACTION HAS CHANGED TO THESE KINDS OF ROLES THAT PEOPLE AREN'T TRADITIONALLY TAKING THESE ROLES?

>> THAT'S ON THE HORIZON AND A LOT OF WOMEN THAT ARE PLAYING MEN AND IT'S ABOUT BEING A GOOD ACTOR AND SOME ACTORS LIKE MYSELF, I'M A CHARACTER ACTRESS AND I CAN TRANSFORM.

THERE ARE A LOT MORE OF THOSE ROLES BEING GIVEN TO WOMEN NOW.

>> Ted: DO YOU FEEL YOURSELF BEING THE KING?

>> SOMETIMES VOCALLY I'LL SAY MANAGE TO MYSELF.

[ Laughter ] >> Ted: DAUGHTERS RUNNING AROUND CAUSING TROUBLE.

[ Laughter ] >> Ted: THE PLAY IS CENTURY'S OLD AND A CLASSIC AND MOST PEOPLE DO, AT LEAST.

HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE IT'S STILL THE KING AND STRETCH IT AS FAR AS YOU CAN IN.

>> THE BEGINNING OF THE SET IS PLAYING LAIR AND IT BEGINS TO STRETCH THE IMAGINATION OF THE YOUNG FOLKS, PARTICULARLY THE CHILDREN OF COLOR PORTRAYED ON THE STAGE AND HIS DAUGHTERS ARE OF COLOR AND STRETCHING OF THE IMAGINATION.

>> Ted: TO ASPECTS OF CHARACTER CHANGE WHEN YOU PORTRAY AS MAN OR WOMAN?

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE ALL HAVE THE MALE AND FEMALE GENE.

ACCESSING IT AS AN ACTRESS NATURALLY, YOU KNOW, I FEEL THAT MANLEYNESS, BUT I THINK BEING A FEMALE REALLY ADDS AN INTERESTING NUANCE TO IT.

BECAUSE I DO MY BEST VOCALLY AND PHYSICALLY TO TRANSFORM.

>> Ted: YOU'RE AN ACCOMPLISHED ACTRESS AND THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN ACTRESS TO RECEIVE A TONY AWARD FOR BEST ACTRESS AND WHAT YEAR WAS THAT?

>> I THINK IT WAS BACK IN '76.

WE WERE CHILDREN.

[ Laughter ] >> Ted: BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN OR HAVE THEY CHANGED ALL THAT MUCH?

>> A LITTLE BIT, YEAH.

I MEAN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE ARTHUR McDONALD AND SEVERAL OTHERS, AS WELL, AND WE SEE NOW BROADWAY SHIFTING AND CHANGING AND THE CAST SUSPECT CASTS AND THE COMPANIES AND THE PLAYS AND THEY'RE MORE DIVERSE.

I THINK THE WORLD IS SHIFTING AND EVEN IN CLASSICAL THEATER.

>> I ALSO TEACH AND I TELL MY STUDENTS THAT MY STUDENTS OF COLOR, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG LADIES, YOU'RE COMING ALONG AT A GOOD TIME BECAUSE THE CEILING IS BREAKING.

>> Ted: AND YOU SAW THAT, THOUGH, WHEN THE CEILING WAS UP THERE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> Ted: HOW MUCH OF A CHALLENGE AND WHAT DID YOU RUN INTO.

>> BEING VERY FAIR, ONE, AND BEING A PHYSICAL ACTRESS AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH ME.

AND IT WAS REALLY A CHALLENGE AND IT'S QUITE A TEST BECAUSE THE UNIVERSE SAID, OK, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO?

WHO ARE YOU?

AND IT WAS CLEAR, VERY CLEAR THAT I AM AN ACTRESS TO MY HEART.

PUT >> Ted: AND AN ACTRESS FOR QUITE A WHILE.

I DO WHAT I'VE DONE FOR WHITE AWHILE AND YOU CHANGE, YOUR PERSPECTIVE CHANGES AND HOW MUCH HAS CHANGE FORD CHANGED FOR YOU ON THE BOARDS?

HAS IT CHANGED IN ALL OF THE YEARS GONE PASSED?

>> IT'S JUST MORE FUN.

>> I KNOW WHAT TO GO MORE AND I KNOW HOW TO WRAP MY HEAD AND TONGUE AROUND WORDS AND MORE FUN AND MUCH MORE FLUID.

I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

AND I KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH THE DIRECTOR BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE VERY YOUNG AND FULL OF YOURSELF -- >> Ted: THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT.

>> -- THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM.

>> Ted: WHEN YOU'RE AN ACTRESS AND PORTRAYING SOMETHING LIKE KING LAIR, THIS IS STAID.

>> WE'RE WORKING WITH ONE OF THE FOREMOST LADIES IN SHAKESPEREAN TEXT.

>> Ted: WHEN IS THE PERFORMANCE AND WHERE AND ALL OF THE VITAL INFORMATION?

>> IT'S PLAYING AT THE MESA ART'S CENTER FROM OCTOBER 14th THROUGH THE 29th, INCLUDING SIX ADDITIONAL ONES.

>> Ted: BESIDES THE CHARACTER PLAYED BY A WOMAN AND ANYTHING ELSE DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS?

>> NO.

WE'RE SETTING IT BACK IN THE OLD DAYS EXNOT A CONTRARYAND IT'S NOT A CONTEM TEMPORARY PLAY.

>> Ted: TREZANA BEVERLEY AND DEBRA ANN BYRD, GOOD TO HAVE YOU BOTH.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
