“This is a great book that [playwright] Lynn [Nottage] and [director] Kate [Whoriskey] gave me,” she says.
“This big piece of material, I always bring one for every show because my grandmother was an interior design and I have a lot of samples from 1960-something,” Day explains.

“My mom painted that,” says Day. “She started painting when she was like 70 just for fun.”
