STAGE
— My Approach
The Joy Of The Play
I love sports. I love theater. The parallels are rich.
Practices. Rehearsals. Games. Performances. Coaches. Directors. Halftime. Intermission. Plays. Scripts. We must execute our roles for the success of the team or the production. I love the process of starting with only a script and, working with a team, bringing a full production to life!
To move an audience, to change how they see, to provide enjoyable and memorable entertainment–no better feeling in the world!

— When Character Counts
Character
Actors
Add
Spice
Character Prep
Who is my character? What motivates him? How does he move? How does he speak? What does he seek with each interaction?
OFF BOOK
To facilitate character development and support my fellow actors, I seek to learn my lines and cues as quickly as possible.
PHYSICALITY
Words and lines are wonderful. But, to really lift a character and a scene, the physical expressions and movements must shine and complement!
TIMING
How a line is expressed can be incredibly critical to how the line is interpreted by fellow characters and received by the audience.

YEARS OF ACTING
I appeared in my first play at an older stage in life, playing Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol. Although I had entertained as a mobile disc jockey and dancer and as an improviser, I had no prior stage experience. 16 stage productions later, I feel young at heart, mind, spirit and, yes, age!
