Shakespeare

I haven't had any reason to update my auditions list in a while, but I did last week.  And so this summer I'm going to be in another Shakespeare production, "Twelfth Night".  Not having brushed up on my Shakespeare, I don't really known much about this play, other than it's one of his standard "A loves B who loves C who loves D who loves A who's actually a woman pretending to be a man" deals.  Based on the character list, my character, Fabian, is not part of the big love polygon. He's a "gentleman" (servant?) of a main character's house and they were looking for someone 16-60 to play him.

As always, I don't think I need to remind you (as laid down by the Furious Five), that I'm like Shakespeare, I'm a pioneer. Because I made rap something people wanted to hear.

And then I got my Ph.D. in Phunk.

Hansel & Gretel

My next show -- with the Round Lake Area Park District Community Theater -- opens in a week:  The Story of Hansel and Gretel.  That's me in the role of "Father".  Shows are at the Robert Rolek Community Center in Round Lake:

It was all Mother's fault that the kids got lost in the forest, you know.
