After a successful run of Hay Fever at The Pear Avenue Theatre, it’s on to Paula Vogel’s amazing recent play, A Civil War Christmas at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto. I play a whole bunch of characters. Among them, Chester Manton Saunders, the only son of a widow who enlists in the Union army to “aid in the abolition of the most pernicious evil that has been a pestilence to free men;” Lewis Payne, co-conspirator in the Lincoln assassination; and John Hay, one of Lincoln’s private secretaries. I am so thrilled to be working on this production. The music is incredible!

December 7 – 27 (possible extension to January 3rd)
