A Civil War Christmas at TheatreWorks!
Nov 10th
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)
Lucie Stern Theatre, Palo Alto
Hay Fever at the Pear Avenue Theatre!
Oct 15th
My latest show, Noel Coward’s Hay Fever, opens October 23 in Mountain View! I play the slap-dash Simon Bliss. From the Pear’s website: Hay Fever is set in the hall of the Bliss family home. The eccentric Blisses — Judith, a recently retired stage actress, David, a self-absorbed novelist, and their two equally unconventional children — live in a world where reality slides easily into fiction. Upon entering this world, the unfortunate weekend guests — a proper diplomat, a shy flapper, an athletic boxer, and a fashionable sophisticate — are repeatedly thrown into melodramatic scenes wherein their hosts profess emotions and react to situations that do not really exist. The resulting comedic chaos ends only when the tortured visitors tip-toe out the door.
Thursdays – Sundays, October 23 – November 8 (Preview on October 22)
