As a couple of you know, I recently - as in late last week - joined the cast of the play that Sean Butler is directing and which is opening this Friday.  I will be one of two policemen who appear in the very end of the play.  Rebecca Proch (as the play's production designer) and I are in dire search of some visor caps to complete our uniforms.  ( Read more... )

Here are two reviews from a couple of theater critics.  The first one is more of a mini-review.  The second had gotten some of the actors/parts mixed up, but caught the gist of it.  I received a favorable mention.  Hollywood, here I come!
