Pipeline Theatre Company: What attracted you to Beardo? What made you want to work on this project?
Hajnal K. Pivnick: I’ve known Ari for a few years, and have followed Pipeline and their past productions. I’m always blown away by the concepts of the productions, and of course getting a chance to play a Dave Malloy score is exciting on it’s own!
PTC: If you ruled the world, what would you be remembered for?
HKP: Getting people to go back to using paper planners.
PTC: Why should someone who has no connection to this show or its artists come see the show?
HKP: The music, the unconventional space, and it’s a show about RASPUTIN.
PTC: If you could create a tagline for this show, what would it be?
HKP: BEARDO: mystic IRL, or BEARDO: a poison troika
