Stop Kiss Coming In June!
The theater life stops for no one. Last weekend was my opening for The Sunshine Boys for the Chevy Chase Players, and tonight you can come and see me in a staged reading for a new play called Render. Check out my Calendar for details on how to see both shows. But more good news comes down the pike: I will be performing this summer in Stop Kiss for the Silver Spring Stage! I’m very excited about this project, and I can’t wait to dive into the deep end with this talented cast & crew. More details on the show will be coming soon but, as always, my Calendar page has all the updates. And still, R.U.X. will be hitting the DC Capital Fringe stage in just a few months. I hope to see you there!
The Sunshine Boys Coming In May!
May is turning out to be a busy month. I just signed on to assistant direct & stage manage for the Chevy Chase Players for their upcoming show The Sunshine Boys. The fantastic Neil Simon classic is coming to the DC area, and you can get your tickets right here, or you can check my Calendar page. Hope to see you there!
New Upcoming Projects
Busy times in the theater world! While R.U.X. prepares for the Washington DC Fringe Festival, two more projects are in the works. The first is a new 1 Act play called Capsmittment. Written by Jean Koppen, it’s the story of two best friends deciding to get season tickets for the Washington Caps. But does their relationship have what it takes to make such a big step? Winner of the 2012 Sportaculture Playwriting Competition, it’s being performed as a part of the Sportaculture 1 Act Festival.
The other upcoming project is a staged reading of a new play called Render. It will be performed one night only at the Round House Theater Education Center. For more details on both shows, check out my Calendar page. See you there!
R.U.X. Returns This Summer!
Great news: R.U.X. is returning this summer! Featuring at The Warehouse for the DC Summer Fringe, R.U.X. is a hilarious show about sexbots and the people who (try to) create them. Going against time, money, the law and possibly basic human decency, Louis Rockwell Jr. and his design team set out to make the perfect companion for anyone and everyone. This show was the runaway hit at the Hope Operas last fall, and I’m very excited to be reprising my role of Gary the hardware designer. The show is funny, touching, poignant and even philosophical. This is my favorite show I’ve worked on in quite a while, and you can see why this July! The performance dates are: Friday, July 13 @ 8:15pm; Saturday, July 14 @ 11:30pm; Tuesday, July 24 @ 6pm; Saturday, July 28 @ 5:30pm; Sunday, July 29 @ 2pm. All performances will take place at The Warehouse, 645 New York Ave. NW, Washington, DC, 20001. Please check my calendar for more info, and check back soon on how to reserve your tickets!

My next project, Into The Woods: In Concert! with Nu Sass theater, is currently in the works and set to play for two nights only on January 13th & 14th!
