Dropping in for Summer

Hello! Didn’t see you hiding there under the porch. You’ll probably get eaten by mosquitoes before you catch a glimpse of me… been on about two or three projects at a time between work and, well, more work.

  • SHAKESPEARE EVERYWHERE 5th ANNIVERSARY: I’ll be appearing as “Cleante” in a 45-minute cutting of Moliere’s Tartuffe as part of a Western Canon menage a trois. Tartuffe will be joined by Romeo & Juliet and Medea for the best three hours you’ll spend this summer waiting for someone to go up on lines. Visit their FB page for even more info.

  • “HERBBITS, WIZARDS, AND BORKS, OH MY!” AT POCKET SANDWICH THEATRE: Holy crap, that’s a mouthful. I’m assistant directing the summer melodrama at Pocket- a Lord of the Rings spoof that’s as goofy as it is moving. Or at least it will be, if we can get out from under all the popcorn. What? You haven’t seen a Pocket melodrama? I’m not sure we can be friends. Go. Not now, but soon.

  • [TBA]: I’m exercising a “Gentleman’s embargo” here, because while there’s definitely a show happening, I don’t know enough about it to blab. But July will be a good season to check in on one of my favorite old haunts.

    Okay, that was a lot of text. Before I check out, here’s a great shot by a coworker of my set design for “Squirrel Girl Goes to College” at Dallas College Eastfield. Hope to see you this Summer!

Squirrel Girl Goes to College, Spring 2024

Catching Up

I looked at a couple of potential first blog entries from 2018 when I started this website, and golly bob howdy, did I not see the next four years coming. Those have been euthanized before doing any retrospective embarassment.

Anyway, here I am in 2023- not dead, not broke, and still pretty lousy at predicting the future. Unless it involves these projects you may also enjoy:

ONGOING: I’m the english dub voice of Roberto in Trigun Stampede, an anime series streaming now on Crunchyroll (subscription required).

Roberto is a reporter who loves the truth almost as much as he loves crinkled cigarettes.

ALSO ONGOING: I’m also the English Dub voice(s) of Kanjuro and Shachi in the long-running series One Piece.

Those following the “Wano arc” episodes should file this away for later. Those of you who’ve read the manga or are watching the subtitled episodes, don’t be a dink and spoil anything.

COMING SOON: I return to the basement as “First Monk” in Undermain Theatre’s workshop production of David Rabe’s play He’s Born, He’s Borne. How many monks are there? What do this unspecified number of monks do? Why would I tell you without your buying a ticket?

On a personal note, I’m winding down a three-week vacation. 10/10, would recommend, Everyone deserves a free almost-month once in a while, etc. I may not be that clairvoyant, but I can tell without a scrying bucket I’ll miss these days in about a month.
