as we celebrate the first days without a COVID-19 related fatality in New York City, our hearts are still heavy with the great losses we have suffered.

and yet time marches on. July is here already, and crumbs of my primary art have still revealed small joys

the webseries I guest starred in – the BRILLIANT “Sidways Smile” – is out of post-production and hittting internet spaces near you soon.

the feature film I shot in the early days of 2019 (boy doesn’t that feel like a LONG time ago) is getting its full digital debut in September. you can follow “Odd Man Rush” on Instagram for updates, and look out for me as an elementary school English teacher in the flashback sequences!

finally, the greatest little acting joy of quarantine was getting to perform a wonderfully spooky and funny new play written for Zoom and presented by Fullscreen Blackbox. we were incredibly humbled to present two performances for charity, and we raised over a thousand dollars for the Stonewall Community Foundation.

I thought the show was a great success and I dearly loved the role, despite working… in my bedroom. but that’s our reality, and the play was a great blessing in so many ways.

some more exciting interdisciplinary things are coming from me too, as the world changes, and I endeavor to change with it. I’ve already got a Linktree set up in preparation for these new websites, soon featuring my cocktails and my songwriting.

meantime… make your voice heard y’all.

I got the absolute delight of taking some new photos with the wonderful Nalin Springer last month, and have a lot of new images for me to use around here and for gigs!

Take a look at a couple of my favorites, and be sure to check out some of her other work!

Yes, it finally happened. 2 years of work, and footage from 6 different projects, (shout out to the projects who didn’t get me their footage for reasons ranging from normal to laughable).

Proud, and I know it’s just the start.

It’s been a quiet fall full of near misses with both big gigs and big representation, but little creative projects continue to pop up. I had the greatest of pleasures taping the Broadwaysted! podcast’s annual holiday radio play, “Broadwaysted, Actually” playing the surprisingly important role of “Kevin #2” [read: did NOT think I was going to have to do so much work when cast]

You can listen to the first of the three episodes below. Even got a shout out from Robbie Rozelle for my work on it, so, you know, NYC theatre royalty now eh??

Regional theatre accomplished, as I am back to New York City from Pennsylvania, and enjoying the end of summer at home.

What a terrific run, and what a joy to play Stephano in THE TEMPEST, The Phoenix Theatre’s inaugural production. Here are some great photos from the show by Wide Eyed Studios! I didn’t have any fun at all… (yes, that is a “Vote for Pedro” t-shirt)

I am so honored to be a part of the inaugural production of The Phoenix Theatre, a new Equity regional house outside Philadelphia. I’m keeping my good groove of Shakespeare clowns going by taking on Stephano, and it is such a privilege to be playing him with such a warm and talented group of collaborators.

You can check out the Broadway World press release here and you can already purchase tickets as well, if you happen to be in the Philadelphia area in July.

NYC, see you soon!

I am very fortunate to be working a fun and pithy new workshop of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, going up downtown June 8-11th. I am playing a fun comic double of LUCIO and ABHORSON, and hope folx can check it out!

You can purchase tickets here. Press release here.

 

 

been out of touch, I know. but lots coming down the pipeline.

I’m playing Hotspur with some excellent folks in May. check the postcard for info.

hugs and kisses

After a thrilling week last week, where I shot my *unreleased, tba, etc etc* full television debut, I am now working on a wonderfully prescient new piece that playwright (and dear friend) Jacob Marx Rice is workshopping.

You can see the BWW press release below!

Joust Theatre Company Announces Directors and Dates For WRITER’S ROUND TABLE Workshops

Join the Joust in the second half of the 2018 Writer’s Round Table, featuring THE COLONY by Gina Stevensen & ROSENSTRASSE: A NARRATIVE PROTEST by Jacob Marx Rice.

 

October has turned out to be busier than expected, with a couple readings and some on-camera work, keeping the hustle alive as the temperature drops.

Next up, I’ll be playing a romantic lead in a Jane Austen benefit reading. Info below!
