More Theatre News
So I've got three more performances left of Larry Shue's The Foreigner, and so far we've had a really good run. Last night's performance was particularly good. I think it's the best performance I've given so far. The audiences are loving it, and laughing the whole way through.
Yesterday I was cast in the role of Krojack in Artisan Center Theatre's upcoming production of Don't Drink The Water directed by Kit Hussey. For Krojack, I get to play a bad guy again, yea! I think it has something to do with my mustache. It helps me to look sinister, and dark. Krojack, is the archetypal eastern-block secret police-type guy. I'll be working on my best Boris Badenov accent. This is going to be a really fun show. I can't wait!
In other theatre news, rehearsals for The Music Man continue. I finally have a wife! Mrs. Jacey Squires will be played by Allison Klingler, and what a cutie!
We stepped all over each others feet yesterday trying to learn the Shipoopie. Actually, it was really fun! Music Man is a very large cast, but despite the organized chaos it's starting to come together slowly, but surely.
Just for grins, here's another picture of me with my quartet:
That's me, second from the left with the moustache. They're a great bunch of guys really, and we're working on our sound.
From left to right: Connor, Me, Trent, and Chris (yes, there are two Chris')
And here's another picture of us being silly:
The Foreigner closes on May 17th, and my remaining performances are May 13th, 15th, and 17th at 7:30pm.
The Music Man opens on May 30th and runs through June 28th. My cast runs every Monday and Friday at 7:30pm and every Saturday at 3:00pm. The second cast performs every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening for the duration of the run.
Rehearsals for Don't Drink The Water, begin on June 2nd and the show runs from July 11th through August 2nd. As with most shows at The Artisan, this one is double cast. I don't yet know which cast I'll be in, but I'm looking forward to working with everyone involved!
As for what comes after that, well... potentially a role in Peter Pan the musical, but it depends on what comes up in area theatre in the way of audition opportunities.
Well, that's what's happening with me in the non-technical arena.
I totally put the pic of the 4 of us on my blog too! You and Allison are totally adorable - really the perfect little Mr. & Mrs. Squires. I would subscribe to your blog but I mostly blog-stalk personal blogs not as much the technical ones..
I like that picture! You should see the ones that Michael took of us last night. Yeah, this blog is where I put just about everything, and most of the posts are technical in nature. Maybe I ought to separate out my personal stuff from any technical stuff and put that on a different blog. That wouldn't be too difficult. :o)
Well, if you do, let me know and I'll totally blogstalk you. :o) (Oh wait, based on this comment, I might blogstalk you anyway.)
