February 14 was a lovely day for many children and adults to see Disney on Ice at the Capital One Arena. My friends and I enjoyed a pre-show event which included mini burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, pretzels with cheese, veggies, fruit, popcorn and cupcakes. We all got mouse ears to get in the mood for our photo with Mickey Mouse. Many people got their face painted or wore costumes dressing as their favorite Disney characters.

Wallace Shawn is known to his fans for many of his works. Some of us grew up watching the classic film “The Princess Bride,” and some sit down in the evenings to turn on “Young Sheldon” to see Shawn as Dr. John Sturgis or watch the “Toy Story” films with our families to see his character, Rex the toy dinosaur interact with Woody and the gang. He’s not only known as an actor, but he also worked as a playwright as well, having composed works such as “Aunt Dan and Lemon,” “Evening at the Talk House” and “Our Late Night.” I recently spoke with Wallace and I had a few questions about his work as a playwright, his voice work and even about his time on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”
