I’m On The Front Page Of This Week’s Onion!
I got a myspace message from my friend Zach: YOU’RE ON THE FRONT COVER OF THE ONION!!!!
I couldn’t find myself online, but when I found an Onion dispenser, there I was:
‘Wherever There Is A Celebrity Nipple Slip, I Will Be There’
Before you ask — no, there is no page 22C.

3/15 – 4/1 The Madwoman of Chaillot
I’ll be playing the Ragpicker in Theatre Unplugged’s upcoming production of Jean Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot, a delicious satire about greed, power, big business, and the ability of the “little people” (mad though they may be) to win the day! Joy, justice, and love return to the world once more.
The Ragpicker is a great, meaty, part. If you’ve ever said, “Hey, let me know when you’re in something really substantial” to me, this is the show you should come see.
Seating is very limited. Please, if you are coming, buy your ticket sooner rather than later — and come see it as early as you can in the run! Leah will be attending the 3/16 show.
MTB Studio presents THEATRE UNPLUGGED, an innovative new theatre company founded by acclaimed acting teacher and director Mary T. Boyer. The company strikes the set and ignites the satire in its inaugural production, French dramatist Jean Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot.

In two days, there will be a short (two days) run of the short (fifteen minutes) play that I’m in. It’s a sweet little romantic comedy about two strangers that meet and unexpectedly connect. Okay, the tickets are $20 (more if you buy online) — but hey you’ll also see two other plays and the stand-up comedian who opens for us. So, c’mon, whaddya say?

Video: 2-Minute “Actor Slate”
Go here to view a 2-minute cut of my “Actor Slate”: Actor Slate highlights the actor’s personality so that it is like having a general interview in front of the casting director. Whether an actor has a demo reel or not, Actor Slate can be very powerful. Casting directors always want to ‘get a glimpse’ of an actor’s personality. Actor Slate isn’t about an actor reading lines or a demo reel, it is about actors being themselves.
The 30-second version can be seen at my Actors Access resume (click “Video”)

keepingabreast
Come see me in keepingabreast; opening tomorrow night, and playing until next Saturday! Yeah, it’s about breast cancer, but it’s definitely not, y’know, a drag. Anything but! I’m really happy to be a part of it. And there’s some nudity, if you like that kind of thing.
What night should you come? Well, Leah’s coming next Wednesday. Buy your tickets now!
Ratutu Collaborative Presents
keepingabreast
by Jackie Rosenfeld
A Multimedia Black Comedy about Coping with Breast CancerMina has a lump in her breast and it’s resisting the chemo therapy. Her doctor recommends she have a mastectomy, but she’s only 28 years old. She has two weeks to decide whether keeping her breast is worth risking her life. Will Mina’s parents have the right answer? Will her best friend know what to do? How about her local stripper or porn shop employee? The fact of the matter is that everyone has an opinion about breasts, and Mina is determined to examine as many sides as she can before making a decision that will change her life forever. Jackie Rosenfeld’s play is a touching and deeply funny exploration of one woman’s journey to define her breasts and herself.
