"I feel I was never 'out of it' because my dad was an actor and also a theatre professor so, when I was a little boy I spent my summers when I was 2, 3, 4 years old at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival," Page recalls. "Then during the year my father directed plays, acted in plays, built sets, made sound design, did everything...so I grew up wanting to be on the stage, looking up there and thinking that's where the fun was."
