This summer, I sat for Matt Freeman's Silent New York and I read Melissa Gawlowski's Spring Tidesfor Boomerang. In October, I risked life, limb and dignity as an actor in the One Minute Play Festival's Livewriting event at The Brick.
I noticed (actually, embarassingly, my mom noticed) that two older projects of mine are on YouTube; Matt Freeman's Character(s) and Eric Sommer's Total Candor.
And I'm happy to be involved again with that scoundrel Matthew Paul Olmos, reading his The Death of the Slow'Dying Scuba Diver for TerraNOVA's Groundbreakers.
Come on down to the Tenement Museum to see me in a reading of Fire Escape, a gorgeous new play about The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Tues, 22 March. Details here. (Fire Escape is a project of American-In-Play, a company well worth your time.)
Rehearsal has begun for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep with UTC #61. The show goes up in November at 3LD's toy-filled playground of a theater. In addition to the sheer coolness of working on one of my sci-fi touchstones, I'm singing 5 arias composed for this show by Henry Akona.
The logical(?) conclusion of the experiments that were Exposition and Denouement, Brandywine Distillery Fire is directed by Michael Gardner and written by Matt Freeman.
Gaze upon our video trailer, in which I somewhat shamefully insult one of the most important theater companies of the last 50 years.
Update: I'm co-organizing a Garage Sale for Haiti at The Brick this coming Sunday, 24 January. Details here. Silent Auction items and bidding here.
(2010! It's the future!)
The long prep for Untitled Van Gogh Project 2011 begins.
In the meantime, go check out my work with filmmaker Daniel McKleinfeld at Vimeo: Security and Fee, Water Cooler, and, though I still find it nearly impossible to watch, Still Life.
Over 10 years in New York and I've been fortunate to never have gone more than a few months without a show (or three). But I'm tired, I'm spent. I'm letting my hair grow out and putting away my headshots.
I'm getting married. I bought a house. I'll be back after the honeymoon.
In the meantime, please spend money at your local theater or opera house. For those in New York, I suggest The Brick.
I am dancing again with Sarah Seely's company, From the Desk of Sarah Seely, and this time we're in Brooklyn. Here's our awesome video - come on out to Triskelion and see.
You can't tell, but I'll be wearing pasties. And a gas mask.
