After several gigs as dialect coach with the Seeing Place Theater, I’m very pleased to be working with a new theatre company, Australian Made Entertainment, on their inaugural production of Louis Nowra’s Aussie classic Così. The number of American actors playing Australian characters is so great that we have TWO dialect coaches! Gertrude Stein’s ‘Brewsie and Willie’, the independent feature I was thrilled to work on last year, is nearing release. A Kickstarter campaign to fund the remaining post-production costs is underway here. March 9th to March 25th, 2012: Currently playing the unhappily married and straying Colonel Vershinin in Brian Friel’s version of Chekhov’s masterpiece “Three Sisters” with the Seeing Place Theater. Opening Friday March 9th at 7.30pm. Tickets available here. *** UPDATE *** – some reviews are up:
Performed in my first independent feature, a unique adaptation of the Gertrude Stein novella, “Brewsie and Willie”, directed by Rosalind Morris. I played an American G.I. in post-World War II France.
(‘Gertrude Stein’s Brewsie and Willie,’ directed by Rosalind Morris, Director of Photography, Milton Kam, Set Design Susan Zeeman Rogers, Lighting by Rocco de Villiers.) September 26 to October 9, 2011: Played an Australian lawyer in Seeing Place Theater’s world premiere production, Scotch Kiss. They’re both up on the Audio/Video page, but you can also find them at these Youtube links: Enjoy! I’m currently appearing in a wonderful short play by Laurie Graff, under the brilliant direction of Brad Malow. I play a philandering businessman in 1960s New York in this bittersweet love story in Telephone Call for Francine Stein; the play is part of the event I LAUGHED, I CRIED: Five Short Plays to Make You Ferklempt at the Workshop Theater Company. I’m about to start a run of the provocatively subtitled Standards of Decency 3 evening of short plays with the brilliant folks over at Blue Coyote Theater Group. I’ve been a fan of their work for a while, so I’m psyched about this show! I immediately followed up Twelfth Night with the currently running Dear Ruth, with the award-winning company Retro Productions. I’m playing the cantankerous father of a WWII-era New York family in this very funny comedy. Tickets available through Ovation. I’m very excited to be playing Orsino in a unique production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The company’s name comes from the Greek word theatron (“seeing/watching place”) from which we get “theatre”, and their ethos is that the audience should see events and relationships that are happening on stage, rather than being represented. So we are striving to be very simple and honest in our performances. It should be a little different from the Shakespearean productions you’ve seen before…! Tickets available through SmartTix. |
