Come see me in “Velma and Manny,” one of the one-act plays in “Waking from the Dream” running for the next two weeks at Write Act Repertory.

“Velma and Manny” is a quirky and very funny piece about Velma’s first date, and the doll she brings along.

The rest of the pieces explore living with delusions in various ways. Come early for the art show, Japanese treats and tea, and a different pre-show every night.

“Waking from the Dream” at the Write Act Repertory Theater, 7:30pm June 8th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd. Tickets are $15. Call (323) 469-3113 for reservations.

Come and see me in the “Silent Roar” a multimedia music theater experience with the Bethune Theatredanse.

It’s an amazing show featuring dozens of incredible dancers and aerialists with original music and video based of the seascapes of Robert Wyland. Plus, I’m in it.

Four performances only, at the Glendale Community College Theatre: Friday February 5th at 8pm, Saturday February 6th at 2pm & 8pm, and Sunday February 7th at 5pm. Tickets available at Brown Paper Tickets or by phone at (800) 838-3006.

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.

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.

I hope to see you there!
