It’s …

I’ve been so busy that it’s been hard to find time to update my website. Please do follow my Instagram/Facebook/Twitter account for more regular updates—thanks! The Curtain’s production of Romeo and Juliet in Jersey City, directed by Artistic Director Sean Hagerty, won wild praise from critics and audiences alike.

Back in March of 2020, I was two weeks away from starting rehearsals as Friar Laurence in a new cutting of Romeo and Juliet by director/producer Sean Hagerty of Shakespeare@ (the same company for whom I played Polonius in Hamlet in 2019) in Jersey City, NJ.

Below are some swell images by Jason Nuttle Photography. Huge thanks again to the one and only Jen Werner, our utterly fantastic director, Caryl …
Gosh, I’ve been so busy rehearsing I haven’t had time to post here about our great production at the fabulous (and gorgeously expanded) Maltz Jupiter Theatre in Jupiter, FL. But I’m so excited to announce the opening of our hilarious (and tuneful!) production of Sondheim’s classic A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum!! …

I love it when one job leads to another in this business. And I’m grateful that it’s happened a lot for me over my career. Some years back, I performed in a new play for writer Sam Affoumado. In fall of 2021, I got an email from Sam that he was taking part in the …
