More pictures of me, but this time they move. See it now!

It’s official. I am now represented by Rich Smith of Brady, Brannon & Rich for commercial and commercial print. It’s an honor to have a powerhouse agency like BBR demonstrate their faith in me.

I played Brackenbury along with a few other characters in Shakespeare at Play’s Richard III August 15 and 16, 2009 in the park at the Buena Vista library in Burbank.

If you were there you were part of a very special outdoor theater experience and I thank you.

If you weren’t there you can live vicariously through Brian McGackin’s account in the Burbank Leader.

Hopefully some pictures will be forthcoming.

I’ve already talked about how much I love this film, but it hasn’t been widely screened until now. Now you can watch “Project: Life” on YouTube. (second half)

As the narrator, I’m obviously biased but I think you’ll love it. If you don’t want to commit a whole fifteen minutes without knowing what you are getting into, here’s the sixty-second trailer.

A Midsummer Nights Dream opened Saturday to a lovely and loving crowd. This is a really magical show and you can see why it’s an audience favorite year after year.

This Saturday’s show is very special to me because I will be going on as Flute/Thisby. If you’ve been longing to see me in drag this may be your only chance.

Saturday June 11 at Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga, CA. For tickets or more information call the box office at 310-455-3723 or visit the website.

If you can’t see Saturday’s show there is another matinee June 18, then evening shows every Thursday night in August and on Labor Day.

On Sunday May 31st we have our first public performance of Cymbeline at Theatricum Botanicum. The show is at 3:30 every Sunday through September.

For tickets or more information about the theater go to Theatricum.com.

I hope to see you there!

A big thank you goes out to Ella Martin, writer and director of the amazing original work “The Poe Play,” for inviting me to take part in the staged reading at the Electric Lodge.

Thank you also to the rest of the cast and crew who made it such a wonderful show and to the people who came out to support original theater.

Terri Ann Drigg’s wedding disaster comedy was chosen as one of five shorts in the Cal State Northridge 2009 Film Showcase, May 6th, 2009 at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theater 5220 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601.

The screening start at 7:30pm but admission is first-come, first-serve so it’s recommended you arrive by at least 5pm to get in. Parking is $8.

See me on the Big Screen, enjoy the live band and catered reception, and watch five awesome shorts in the same theater the Emmy Awards are held.

This summer I will be in Cymbeline and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga.

The Theatricum Botanicum is an outdoor theater with a huge stage integrated with the surrounding woods and trails. It is the only stage I have ever seen that is suitable for performing Shakespeare, so it’s quite a treat to be a part of the company.

We perform for our first school group on Monday April 27 but don’t open for the public until Sunday May 31.

All the details on at Theatricum.com. Come and see us!

My private investigators have revealed that you can watch all of CJ Johnson’s short Creepers online at Babelgum. So if you want to know what happens after we storm the grocery, watch and see.
