Dear Friends,
This past week was a busy one for me, having the opportunity to perform in two historic venues in New York City. The first: Acting in a staged reading of a provocative new play Collect from Ogalala by Buffy Barton, directed by Brittany Vicars. We performed at The Players in Greenwich Village. I played a Welsh alcoholic playwright with deep marital problems who may or may not be a sexual predator. I loved playing this complicated role and I look forward to see how the play develops.
The second: Accompanying the luminescent Zoe Van Tieghem on piano at the fabulous Don’t Tell Mama in midtown. We performed an eclectic number of songs, including “Vienna” by Billy Joel and “So In Love” by Cole Porter as Zoe payed tribute to her hometown of New York through hilarious storytelling.
Next up: Playing Ken, Mark Rothko’s assistant in a zoom staged reading of the brilliant two-hander RED by John Logan.
