Well.. another audition has come and gone. THIS time, I did say that I definitely was trying out for Captain Von Trapp. I had forgotten that Max does indeed sing in the stage version. However, since the general public is more familiar with the classic film version, most people may not know this. I feel …
And I could not be happier. I know that it has been two years since Hound of the Baskervilles but it really seems like yesterday especially this week when the last three months of fun work come to fruition. Each experience is a different challenge and along the way I am lucky to meet new performers …
Good news all around! Dad will be home soon (within a few weeks). Wednesday, the therapist had Dad come to the house for about a half hour to see how he did in old surroundings. While still under guidance, he walked through the main floor…. though the front door; to the bedroom, the bathroom, and …
2010… What a year! So much happened that I do not know where the time went! It started off LAST January when I received my first two awards for acting in You Have the Right to Remain Dead (as everyone’s ill-fated, lovable, hammy narrator… Harnell Chesterton) and for bringing the Grinchi Scrooginess of Mr. Henry …
Looking for a bit of Christmas spirit (not THAT kind of spirit)? My nephew Alex, Megan, and I found a smattering at the Huber tonight as the Village Players presented a duo of one act plays. Things got started with an adorable retelling of the immortal Nutcracker story. Most of the cast was made up …
In a most shocking affair, Baskerville Hall has fallen. The caretaker and his wife, the Barrymores were so shaken by the tragic passing of Sir Charles that within days of the heir’s arrival the couple decided to leave service in hopes of succeeding in some other business. The Baskerville fortune left the loyal servants enough …
Two weeks from tonight will be OPENING NIGHT of the Sherlock Holmes classic (still can’t believe how many odd looks I get whenever I mention the title) The Hound of the Baskervilles at the splendiferous (yes… that is a word) Huber Opera House! For my part, I am happy to state that my lines are learned …
Ok… let’s go back to the show I have been cast in. Just to remind everyone where I am. I have probably 95% of my lines memorized for The Hound of the Baskervilles BUT (as most who know me well know) line memorization is no where near enough for me. Acting is much more reaction …
AH… the first week of a new adventure in acting! A larger cast this time. A more limited role… but an important role (which is what I wanted for the moment). The chance to develop a new accent. ACCENT?! And a chance to drive everyone crazy with a physical change… a change that will be …
In preparation for what I hope is my next stage performance, I was informed that the role had to have a full beard…. the “handsome” part? Well… the say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. More than a few summers ago, I was cast as Motel in Fiddler on the Roof. Of course, …
