    <title>Interview: John Ortiz on Finding Humanity &amp; Hope in DOG DAY AFTERNOON</title>
    <description><![CDATA[When John Ortiz stepped onto the stage of DOG DAY AFTERNOON, it marked the end of a long absence from theater. &ldquo;It&#39;s been 13 years since I&#39;ve been on stage,&rdquo; he explains, &ldquo;and like 15 in New York.&rdquo; His return wasn&#39;t something he had been actively pursuing. In fact, Ortiz thought much of his theatrical exploration had already happened earlier in his career.

&ldquo;In those 13 years, I thought I had done it all when it came to theater,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;It was in my 20s and 30s especially that I kind of exhausted whatever I had inside of me to explore with characters.&rdquo;
