Two Degrees from Harold Pinter
I’m appearing in King’s Road Park in the City of West Hollywood’s Free Theater in the Park series through the second week of August in Tony-Winner Tony Tanner’s adaptation (and under his direction) of Moliére’s “The Misanthrope” or “The Man-Hater.” It’s a delightful cast, and since Tony-Winner Tony (my new tongue twister) appeared opposite Harold Pinter in the West…

Emmy Nominated
Had a fantastic day on set with Director Carlos Reza, Emmy-nominated actress Vanessa Vasquez, and the entire creative team behind Hulu’s hit original Emmy-nominated web series, East Los High. Emmy nominated! In theater news, there is one more week of performances of “Oz 2.5” at South Coast Repertory Theater, closing June 7. It’s a fun…

A Princely Pauper
Next up? I’ll be appearing as the Lord Chamberlain (and at least two others) in The Prince and the Pauper at the MainStreet Theatre Company at the Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga for February / March. Jack Benny would be proud.

New live shows
I’ve added a page with a schedule of upcoming performances at Griffith Observatory, where I moonlight (heh) as a narrator of their live planetarium shows. They are the only planetarium with live performers. If you go to the Smithsonian, in DC, you’re likely to hear canned Whoopi Goldberg. Don’t get me wrong, I love Whoopi,…

Tactless
Good news… just shot a guest spot on a new sketch show for Russell Simmons’ “All Def Digital” Youtube channel, called TACTLESS. Funny script, lots of ad libs and improvisation on set. Watch for it here before the end of the year, they say. I’m beginning to think that I may have a career playing…

Reston Reduced.
So the company I’ve been touring with for the last 13 years, the Reduced Shakespeare Company, has played every single year since 1987 at the Reston Community Center in Reston, VA. How many touring groups can boast such a long, fruitful relationship with a presenter? So in honor of the 50th anniversary of Reston, many…

Nine Nights of Twelfth Night
This summer I had the pleasure of performing a dream role at the Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival. Two summers ago I donned yellow stockings as Malvolio in William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. This summer I strapped on my guitar and played Django-style in a Twelfth Night set in the Roaring 20’s as one of Shakespeare’s most famous…

The Complete History of Comedy (abridged)
There’s a new Reduced Shakespeare Company Show. And the Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged) (touring this winter – just two performances!) hasn’t even been published yet. I love that my friends and authors at the Reduced have been churning out the shows the past few years… and this one is incredible. They finally tackled a subject…

Flat Stanley. Sings. In Tune Though. Not Flat.
It isn’t often I get hired to act alongside my wife, Amanda. Sure, we act out all the time at home. But at the beginning of the year we got hired together to play Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop in “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley.” The first I heard of Flat Stanley was a few…

Oh, Sheesh, what did I miss?
I have a hard time keeping up with posting here, I admit it. I am beginning to despise Facebook, so maybe I will just transition here, where I at least have the illusion of control over what is revealed. At any rate, what happened in the last year? I was in an amazing production of…
