The weekend of February 28th to March 2nd, I played Mr Dooba Dee Doo, the oldest and wisest of all the Dooples, in this children's musical about writing utensils that come to life and learn about reading and writing and communication. The Dooples was originally a children's book written by Dr. Lynn Hunter. The music for the show was composed by Charles Mandracchia.

The picture to the left is from our segment on the Today Show which aired on the morning of March 2nd. The full cast couldn't attend that morning, but our run more than sold out every night, and we anticipate another run this coming summer!

Last month, I booked a role in Have a Good Day!, a Lithuanian opera that premiered with acclaim in Lithuania and is premiering in the US this month at the PROTOTYPE Festival at the HERE Arts Center. "[Ten] faceless, robot-like [cashier-women] found in everyday life are transformed into unique and lively characters; their secret thoughts and biographies are turned into short, personal dramas."

The production also cast two local NY actors to play Security Guards who would be in such a mega-store environment. One of them being me.
