Busy, Busy, Busy! The outdoor NYC parks production of King Lear was a great success in June and July, despite the record rainfalls. The audiences at both Central Park and Battery Park were brave and wonderful. The cast and crew were as nice a bunch of people as I could ever hope to meet. And …

I’m delighted to say that Vermont Stage Company asked me back to appear in their original holiday production, Winter Tales. The show sold out and garnered rave reviews.

FOREIGNER X3! I played Charlie in Vermont Stage Company’s production of The Foreigner. This was my third production of this great comedy, and I found new surprises with the Vermont Stage cast. Artistic Director Mark Nash, who directed Waiting for Godot, directed me again for this show, which was a huge critical and box office …
