In 2004, Joe Sofranko won the National Shakespeare Competition at Lincoln Center out of over 16,000 competitors from across the country. In 2005, Joe met Lili Fuller doing a theatre competition in Miami called YoungArts. Half a year later, Joe and Lili met Adam North walking to a party near USC. Four years and a few college degrees later, they teamed up to create COMPLETE WORKS. Only three years, several emotional breakdowns, and many credit cards after that, they finished the show and lived happily ever after.
Sorta. They are still working hard and having emotional breakdowns. Only now, they at least have something to show for it. Oh and their production company is called Kingdom For A Horse Productions btw.

Secret Cameo Moments: can you spot me in ep. 1 and ep. 5?
Most hilarious on-set moment: Joe's winding up to give his most heartfelt Joe-ness in a scene at the end of the competition, and he's got his saddest eyes going, and he opens his mouth to speak only to be cut off by the "bawk!" of a resident peacock.

Unsung hero of the production: Gideon Rappaport - our go-to Shakespeare dramaturg who literally knows everything about every Shakespeare play. try him.
Most challenging moment to act: "Kate" monologue in episode 4. Because it's 3 minutes long, we re-wrote it on the morning of that shoot day, and we wanted to get it in one take. I specifically remember one take where I got about 2.5 minutes in and then forgot a line.
