    The play Dinner with Friends by Donald Margulies won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2000. The currently running Roundabout Theatre Company production of the show is directed Pam MacKinnon - the Tony Award WInning director of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Clybourne Park and stars Jeremy Shamos, Darren Pettie, Heather Burns, and Marin Hinkle.

Marin Hinkle’s Broadway and Off-Broadway credits include Electra, A Thousand Clowns, The Tempest, Graceland, Miss Julie, Blue Window, Jayson with a Y, and Wonderful Time. She’s appeared on television on The Sarah Silverman Program, Brothers and Sisters, Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23, and played Judith, Jake's mother, on the CBS comedy series, Two and a Half Men.

Here she speaks with us about why she loves working with Pam MacKinnon and Donald Margulies, working on stage versus acting for a camera, and her most important job: being a Mom.
