My acting scene(s) in A Christmas Carol 2009

I played Scrooge in Colabo Theatre’s musical adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol 2009. We took the traditional tale and added a few classic Broadway and rock songs. To cover a major scene change, I had to sing both of my songs back to back at the end (when Scrooge realizes the errors of his ways and promises to change).

I still get parents and kids coming up to me singing, “I hate people”.

My acting scene(s) in Hedwig and the Angry Inch

The Director invented the role of Johan for me for our production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch so we could have 3 part rock harmonies. We also fleshed out the other characters (mentioned in the script) to give more actors a chance to perform.

This rock musical is so emotionally draining, but such great music!

My acting scene(s) in Orpheus Descending

Not Safe For Work. Tennessee Williams is my favorite American playwright. Orpheus Descending is not his best work, but I still like it. I play the redneck racist Sheriff Talbott.

I was born and raised in the South. I understand Tennessee Williams and the way he writes..

Role: Supporting – Soldier, Priest, Leper, Ensemble
Director: Phil Shelburne
Production Company: Super Summer Theatre at Spring Mountain Ranch

My acting scene(s) in Jesus Christ Superstar

Soldier Reel

I was primarily cast as a Soldier (due to my shaved head, goatee’, and muscular size) throwing the wussy singer/dancer/Apostles around.

Priest Reel

I also had a few good moments as a Priest.

Ensemble

The Director gave me and Scott delGuidice a great compliment when we were Lepers. He said we had some great touching moments (of humanity) when we bumped into each other during the Leper scene.

9 Costume Changes!?!

Jesus Christ Superstar is one of the most difficult shows I’ve ever done – and I LOVED it! I am on stage practically the entire time. If I’m not onstage, I am offstage doing a quick costume change to go back on.  I have 9 costumes changes – the most of any show I’ve ever done. I couldn’t do it without my 2 Wardrobe/Quick Change Ladies helping me.

I can’t wait to do this show again!
