Wow, 2023 was a remarkable year career-wise. Around the lengthy SAG-AFTRA strike (I spent a lot of time on the picket lines when not working!), I was flat-out offered four truly wonderful projects that brought me a lot of exciting challenges and rewards as an actor, and the joy of meeting a lot of wonderful …

In the Asolo Repertory Theatre’s 2013-14 season, Frank directed me in a gorgeously detailed PHILADELPHIA, HERE I COME!

All good things must come to an end, sadly. Our hilarious production of Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum closes today after delighting audiences and critics alike.
