If you have read my "About Me" section, it mentions that I am hugely passionate about theatre (and movies). And while I may have gotten a late start, by theatrical standards (I was thirteen when I started doing it consistently, with some sporadic roles before then), I have been hotly passionate about it for about a dozen years. I have played a broad range of roles from a variety of playwrights. I've done Greek, realism (Ibsen, not Chekhov), German expressionist (i.e. Kafka), 20th century American, contemporary, even some student shows.
Among those roles:
-Menelaus, The Trojan Women (Euripides)
-Jean, Miss Julie (August Strindberg)
-Fabian, Twelfth Night (Shakespeare)
-Dr. Rank, A Doll's House (Henrik Ibsen)
-Roderigo, Othello (Shakespeare)
-Mortimer, The Fantasticks (Tom Jones/Harvey Schmidt)
-First Sergeant, Mother Courage and Her Children (Bertolt Brecht)
And now, as the summer nears, I begin my newest role- that of Lennox in another Shakespeare show- the one with the witches and the king whose name you'r not supposed to say. Hopefully, the supposed "curse" will not get me!
So, until June, I explore the character's sarcasm and get to play a cool part. I become an earl in the end!!
June 7-10, if you're in town. Be there!!
