Back and Busy

Well, it's been a while. I've been through a few shows and a site re-design. Here's a quick recap:

Finished Klingon Christmas Carol in December 2010 and wound up being the assistant fight choreographer, which was a great experience. The show as a whole was amazing, we got a ton of national press and good reviews, and the cast and crew were an excellent bunch to work with. As a result of the show I was invited to join Commedia Beauregard as a company member, which also means I will reprise my role in this year's KCC and function as the main fight choreographer. The Commedia folks have come to mean a lot to me and this has been a great development. Really looking forward to digging in (soon!) for this year's remount. It's going to be really, really good. More on that later.

I started off the year with another Commedia show - The Bad Art Plays - which I also enjoyed quite a bit. Next up was Soul Samurai with InFusion which was an incredible show and one of the best casts you could ask for. After a really great bonding experience with those guys and a great run of a very unique play, I'm now on to Romeo & Juliet.

Observant readers and internet stalkers will remember I did a production of Romeo & Juliet last summer, and this summer I'm playing the same role (Samson) in, yes, the same play. The big difference is that last year's production was at Chase Park, and this year I'm in the production at First Folio. Very exciting to go from community theatre to professional, Equity theatre in the space of a year. Also, I have been honored with the position of fight captain which I'm very excited about. Our director and fight choreographer, Nick Sandys, is vastly experienced in stage combat, an amazing actor and director, and a great guy to boot. We've just started rehearsals and all signs point to this being an incredible production. Needless to say, I'm friggin thrilled.

That's it for now. Missing things from the site (and some all new things too) are being assembled backstage by monkeys while I go have a drink. Once those damn lazy monkeys quit screwing around I'll have the rest of the stuff up. Keep yer pants on.
