In The House That Jack Built, the setting of Thanksgiving dinner prompts audiences to reflect on family and loved ones, gathering together, and what they’re grateful for in their lives. In a year that also prompted many of these reflections as we stayed apart, we’ve asked some of the cast of the show to share what they’re thankful for and how they stay connected with loved ones during these times. 
 
David Shih, who plays Ridge in The House That Jack Built, shares his responses--including the uniting power of food!
 
What are you most looking forward to when gathering with your loved ones again?
Eating meals together. With lots of food. Lots and lots of food. Especially turkey.
 
What have you been most thankful for this year, either personally or professionally or both?
Getting to work on this production of The House That Jack Built. It feels really special to be part of the first wave of productions to come out of the COVID shutdown.
 
How did you stay connected with your loved ones this past year? Zoom birthday parties, weddings, etc? Weekly meet-ups socially-distant or virtually? Letters?
It was kind of an isolating year for me. But we did have a few Zoom gatherings, including my nephew’s high school graduation and my mother’s 80th birthday.
 
What family/friend traditions are you looking forward to this year?
Eating meals together. With lots of food. Lots and lots of food. Especially turkey.
