This month I returned to NYC to see the most incredible theatre on stage. I witnessed the last performance of All My Sons and found Tracy Letts’ performance inspiring. The Ferryman was another absolute standout show.

Camp Wedding is on FIRE! This feature film in which I co-star has been doing well on the independent film circuit. Director and co-writer, Greg Emetaz, has put a great deal of heart into this film, and I’m thrilled it is paying off. I am excited to represent this film at Deep in the Heart of Film Festival in July.

I returned to New Stage to play Will Percy in Marcus Gardley’s Hell in High Water. There have been few plays I have done that have had such a powerful and immediate impact on the local community. Local leaders and legislators remarked on the importance of the telling of the historic 1927 Mississippi flood. The story came to life in large part through Grammy-winner Vasti Jackson’s original music (http://www.vastijackson.com/) Working him has been an artistic highlight.

Monday I joined a special corner of NYC artistic culture. I performed a short play by Michael Kingsbaker called Jeffrey vs Mr. Freeze for the Shelter’s Peep Show. My character “Mr. Freeze,” an ICE agent bent on deporting Jeffrey’s father, outwits Batman but is ultimately defeated by the real superhero, an immigration lawyer named Stacey. The play brilliantly threads fantasy and the stark contrast of reality. The Shelter self-described as “a family of artists creating original theatre for the New York stage” indeed felt like a family that I was grateful to be a part of.

One my great joys as an actor is working with amazing playwrights on new works. This month I performed the lead role in a three-day reading of the newest work by Allan Knee, Another Rushmore. Allan is one of America’s best playwrights. His works include Little Women, The Jazz Age, The Man Who was Peter Pan (on which the movie Finding Neverland was based). Another Rushmore follows a Times Square street artist (specifically a miniaturist), Leonard, who has received a commission to create a work of public art. Leonard’s idea is to sculpt Another Rushmore. After three productions with Allan, I understand more clearly how his characters think and act. The humor and joy that are abundant in his characters comes more and more easily to me, and it a blast to play.
