Statement from creator, writer, director about my performance in "The View from the Tunnel" (Elaine Hutchinson):
As a playwright and storyteller, it is crucial to get the right actor to portray the depth of each of your characters, and to interpret the meaning of the work you’ve put in black and white - as you watch it comes to life on stage - in color. Diane Powell has been my go to actor for the past 10 years. My play, “The View From the Tunnel,” was about my bout with cancer. She emulated my life, my feelings and emotions in a manner that pleased me, and even brought clarity as to how I was actually feeling while going through chemotherapy.
Seeing the play brought me closure to the haunting thoughts of the insecurities I had felt. I saw myself - on stage through Diane’s portrayal. She brings forth the character in the way it was written, and sometimes she even surpasses the character’s magnitude. She is a highly skilled, innovative, intuitive –and a top of the line actor. The only reason Diane is not on Hollywood’s red carpet, or on Broadway’s billboards is because the right talent agency has not met her. She’s dependable, creative and would go to extremes to memorize the script and interpret the role imaginatively and ingeniously in record timing, and before any other actor is able to. Diane Powell is a keeper!
