Madeline Weinstein exploded out of Northwestern University finding herself acting on Broadway in The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard alongside Maggie Gyllenhaal, Ewan McGregor, and Cynthia Nixon. Following Broadway, she worked at the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago on a play written by and starring Tracy Letts. At the time of our conversation, Madeline just came back from the Sundance Film Festival where the film she was in entitled Beach Rats was shown and picked up. We talk differences in approach between stage and film as well as what it means to “listen”. She’s an expert at setting records… even in categories she doesn’t want.
