Helen Joo Lee and Lucky Stiff are two of the nine solo performers guiding audiences through the Goodman Theatre production of David Byrne and Mala Gaonkar's Theatre of the Mind, a uniquely interactive and immersive theatrical experience now running in Chicago through July 12, 2026. Helen and Lucky share stories about the audition process and reveal the new skills they get to call upon; how so many wildly different actors become David Byrne; the value of controlled violence and being a not-so-secret potty mouth; the variety of special interactions they've had with different audience members; how the show is like the world’s loveliest, sweetest escape room; and the power of giving (and receiving) a gender-affirming haircut. (Length 21:03)
