Once again, please forgive, cuz I have faded away from DA in the wake of a busy life. Good things, mostly, have kept me from sitting at my little desk very much.
The time I took "off" to focus on work, recovery and the beginnings of my term as el Presidente was short-lived. A cancellation by the male lead in our first show of the year, Last Train to Nibroc, had me stepping in with a seriously shortened rehearsal schedule. As this was a two-person show, it meant a lot of intense line work and rehearsal.
Next, I was cast in the political play, Stuff Happens, which goes up in April. This show pulls no punches as it looks at the public (and not so public) conversations and speeches that led us to the Iraq War.
This weekend, I discovered I've been cast in Henry V (yes, that Henry V!), as... you guessed it! This show goes up in June, and probably means I will not make the Montserrat Poetry Festival this year
I am tentatively scheduling a minor nervous breakdown in, say, the first week in July.
Note - in an effort to actually see the commercial I filmed recently, I am watching Fox News at 9. This is the local Weasel affiliate, not the "FoxNews" weasels. Does anyone else remember when there were rules in journalism? Something about objectivity, reporting the facts, presenting both sides... sigh. Doomed.

We are now within one week to the opening of Dreamwell's "Henry V" - this cast kicks total Elizabethan ass! I hope to stay on my toes and keep up with the quality they are setting!
Locals (and travelers) can reserve tix at www.dreamwell.com - this won't be your momma's Shakespeare! Shows are June 3, 4, 10 & 11 @ 7:30P, and June 5 & 12 @ 2PM.
And if you can't make the show next weekend, my friend ~marzguy (https://www.deviantart.com/marzguy) will have the Montserrat Poetry Festival in full swing!
Ooooooooh, I sense road-trip possibilities! Missourri for the festival, then to Iowa for Henry the second weekend!
Happy Holidays
First off, apologies to all of my friends and deviant homies, for being practically non-existent on DA for so long. I want to once again thank everyone for the support you've shown me after my recent DD, and all the new watchers who have taken a deeper look at my gallery and liked what they've seen.
Secondly, I want to wish you a happy merry christ-kwanz-yule-akkuh. May your holiday(s) of choice bring you joy and peace.
Innocence
Now is that a title, or what?
My final show of the year goes up this weekend, only two nights - our theatre company's playwrighting contest winner, "Innocence" by Tom Deiker.
This very hard-hitting show is not to be missed, if you are local and have a strong stomach for psychological drama - inside the mind of a serial killer, and inside the cultures and life events that can contribute to the making of one.
I'm very excited to be doing this show, and also excited to be taking a little time off from performing (not too long - wait till you hear what we're cooking up for next year!)
For those of you who still read these after my long absenc
Oh, Rocky!
Just wrapped up my first Rocky Horror Picture Show (as a performer rather than audience member). What fun!
