Theatre I’ve been neglecting this blog for quite a while, but hey, life happens. Just to review the year…
Jesse explains things to Thelma in 'NIGHT, MOTHER
Phyl Charnes and I did
‘NIGHT, MOTHER at the Landmark Studio in fall of 2007 and then revived it for the ACT 2 Theatre Company in February this year.
Lenny and Claire share rumors with Ken in RUMORS
Greg Mach and I did RUMORS at the Landmark Studio last spring. That’s us with Rocky Gettel (right) in the picture.
In August I auditioned for, and got a small role in, a play called SHIRAZ by Don Fidler with M.T. Pockets Theatre Company in Morgantown. Had a great time getting to know the folks in that group. Hope I can do something again with them some time.

Timing on this one turned out to be a bit stressful, though. As soon as rehearsals started, I found out I have diabetes. Managed to have a good time, anyway.
Poster for HANSEL AND GRETEL
Last month I had a blast playing the Wicked Witch in
HANSEL AND GRETEL: An Operetta For Children based on the Humperdinck opera. It was adapted to be done by children. I was the only adult in the show. Don’t have any pictures yet, but as soon as I do I’ll post them. This was the first time ACT 2 has attempted an all-children cast production, but director Kathy Younglove has lots of experience with children’s theatre and pulled it all together wonderfully. We partnered with the
Chanticleer Children’s Chorus who lended their beautiful voices to all the choral music. And the dancing angels who protected Hansel and Gretel in the woods were
Premier Studio of Dance students. The music was lovely and the set was really gorgeous.
I designed the poster for this one. That’s our Hansel (Bailey Jackson) and Gretel (Sierra Frosch) in the poster.
