Every day is opening night.

Geneva Carr has spent much of her career either on stage or on screen, with appearances Off-Broadway at MCC Theater, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Playwrights Horizons, and Rattlestick, among many others; and memorable roles in films like Love and Other Drugs, College Road Trip, and It’s Complicated and the television series “Sex and the City,” “The Good Wife,” “The Leftovers,” and “Elementary.”  Given her credits, some will find it impossible to believe that she is just now making her Broadway debut—and she most unforgettably is—in the fierce, funny, and poignant new American play Hand to God, by Robert Askins, which begins previews on March 14th ahead of an April 7th Broadway opening night.  We pulled Geneva away from the last days of tech for a quick chat On the Couch.

My bubbly personality, replete with sweetness and just enough bite to make it fun.

Toss up. Touring the completely solar-powered, 5 star resort that my husband, an architect, designed. Walking for my masters in business at ESCP. It was in French. Kind of winged it, truth be told..

Champagne! Pink. And dry, S'il vous plait.

What is your favorite food? 

Anything prepared by my husband or a friend. It's best. Trust me.

The radiation from an ever-ringing cell phone applied to my ear. Keep meaning to get a blue tooth. Ugh. Tomorrow. And I have a specific relationship with SPF .. really cannot leave house unless I'm slathered up tip to toe. Even in the snow. Well, especially in the snow, actually.

What is the single best trait you inherited or learned from your parents? 

Humor in the face of adversity was the product of experience, not necessarily the lesson taught directly or purposefully.
