She and the director, <b>Christopher Innvar<\/b>, met with the press earlier this month to discuss the play&#8212;here&#8217;s a quote from Helgenberger:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I have been wanting to do a play for a very, very long time. For various reasons it just didn\u2019t quite work out. For <i>CSI<\/i> I was tied up for twelve years and the hiatus is two months. That doesn\u2019t leave you a whole lot of time to do a play. Also I was raising my son in LA. So I just really didn\u2019t want to be away. But, having said that, since I left the show in December of 2011, I went around and met with producers in New York. Of course Los Angeles too and Chicago. I expressed my interest in it. (Theatre) They were all eager to meet with me. They would say let\u2019s find something, let\u2019s find something. (exasperated gasp and self amusement) A few things came along but nothing I really wanted to do. So, I don\u2019t know, it really kindah has to do with the part. It was one of these roles that I really couldn\u2019t not do. It was so amazing. It is amazing. I felt if not now when? I felt once I\u2019ve done with this I\u2019ll be so proud of myself.
