Denver Post Ovation nomination

admin — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:13:05 +0000

Check it out: Clybourne Park got seven (the most for any show), and I even get a supporting actor nomination! How grand is that. Very kind, Denver Post. Congrats to all the nominees!

Clybourne Park reviews

admin — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:04:07 +0000

So I’m dating this as though the show just closed, although this post is coming a bit late. Been unnecessarily busy of late and terribly remiss in keeping up this blog. Assuming you’re subscribed that is.

Anyway the Curious production of Clybourne was a fantastic experience, AND a great play to boot. If you see it on a marquee in your home town don’t miss it. (It will be moved to Broadway in the spring. With original cast and director from the Playwrights Horizons premiere, nicely.)

Some reviews of the show:

Denver Post (and a great little article about Denver’s racial history the week prior)

North Denver Tribune

Littleton Independent

Westword

a great random thrilled Technorati blurb

Daily Camera

a thoughtful review on ‘Broadway World‘

Aurora Sentinel (includes a photo I’m in, didn’t know there was one out there, thank you Aurora Sentinel)

Anyway that’s the collection, in case you’re doing some serious research. In any case, congratulations again to the designers, producers, crew and cast of the show.

Clybourne Park at Curious Theatre this fall

admin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:34:49 +0000

Hey friends I got cast in this Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Clybourne Park at the Curious Theatre Co. It’s such a great show; I couldn’t be happier about making my official Denver debut in it. You can read more about it here and here–I’m playing a pastor in 1959 who really really just wants everyone to get along (1st act), and a homeowners’ association rep in 2009 who also wants everyone to get along (2nd act).

The play itself is fantastic. If you can make it this fall, it’s worth checking out. I’m not just saying that because I’m in it, either. If you don’t live in Colorado you should see the play wherever it’s produced.

National New Play Network – Blue Monday this Saturday

admin — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 15:15:10 +0000

The National New Play Network is a not-for-profit alliance of theatres that helps develop and produce new plays–incubating and nurturing scripts and getting them exposure in parts of the country that may never have otherwise seen them. This weekend six new works are getting staged readings here, at Curious Theatre Co. and the Denver Center. I’m performing in one, called Blue Monday–it goes up Saturday at 4pm at Curious (303.623.0524 for info/tickets).

Check out the page about the plays, and come see one (especially Blue Monday) if you’re in Denver!

Curious Theatre

Hello friends–haven’t posted here in a while but thought I should just mention a couple near misses I’ve had auditioning, also just as a recommendation on this really great theatre company here in Denver. The Curious Theatre Company has been producing current, provocative plays for almost 15 years, and I’d advise checking out just about every show in their lineup this year. I had a number of callbacks for most of the season, most recently for A Number, which I *highly* recommend when it goes up in the spring.

Anyway check out their website and if you’re in the area–attend. If you’re going to support theatre in Denver, make Curious the first on your list.

A feature I play a lead in is finally finished! It’s called The Deafening Silence of a Very Bright Light, and you can find trailers and all kinds of goodies at the director’s page.

It’s got some serious NYC weirdness and bad relationships and existential disconnections. Not sure where it’ll premiere, but stay tuned for more info…

Zombies, Handsome

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:34:49 +0000

The full 7 episodes are up, at HandsomeZombies.com. There’s also a pretty funny outtakes reel on there too, so check it out. Especially if you’re missing some Darius Stone cat-hexing in your life.

If you don’t live in New York, the general metaphor may be lost on you. Here’s a review/article that might get you up to speed.

And Vanessa took some great photos during one of the shoots… and how about an older photo blog… another review…

Handsome Zombies is/are coming!

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:12:51 +0000

The trailer for the scintillating first endeavor by the nascent Subjective Films is out. Be afraid. Very afraid. And not necessarily for the right reasons.

I play… “the Reverend.”

[UPDATE] Watch the episodes, a new one every Monday, at handsomezombies.com. Wow.

past projects

OK you can check out the old blog but I thought I should make a shortlist of less recent events here since you may have trashed your myspace account by now…

Parallax – CoLab (Subjective Theatre Co.’s collaborative writing project) produces its second official show, exploring memory and narrative sells out lots of shows at the Gene Frankel theater in NYC…

Slipaway, a great, moody short about an unmoored corporate drone who finds solace in a fantasy bar life, premieres at the Kent Film Festival…

TELL, CoLab’s official inaugural production, premieres at Collective Unconscious (R.I.P.) in NYC, taking a hard look at confession and self-identity through the lens of U.S. foreign policy in Iraq, TV talk-show and Christian culture, and social media in the digital age. [review]

The Money Shot, a great little short about a bank heist with a twist, gets into the Tribeca Film Festival. I play the ringleader, with an impeccable Northern Irish dialect…
