nothing on the docket (yet)!

After a VERY busy Philly Theatre Week (not only did I create and perform in an original musical AND provide intimacy direction for another production, I also ran the logistics for Philly Theatre Week itself!), I’m happy to have some time to rest and recuperate. Thank you to everyone who saw I’m The Real One with The Bards Theatre Troupe and RENT at Narberth Community Theatre for checking out my work!

Right now I’m continuing my training in intimacy direction through Theatrical Intimacy Education; I’ve completed all of the courses required for their beginner diploma and am awaiting that sweet sweet PDF that confirms it, while working toward an intermediate diploma. I’m also scheming up a 10-year anniversary celebration of The Bards Theatre Troupe, coming to Philly Fringe this fall. And now that my schedule’s a little more free, I’ve gotten to check out some more amazing shows in the region!

Stay safe and hydrated, wear a mask to the theatre (what’s sexier than an audience member of mysteryyyyyy), and feel free to reach out if you want to work together!

Quick lil’ note about where I’m at!

Hello!

Worth noting is that we’re in a pandemic still, specifically COVID-19, but despite this fact many theatre companies have elected to relax their safety measures, allowing hundreds of thousands of audience members to be in their spaces unmasked during performances. I view this as a worker safety issue, since actors are generally expected to perform unmasked for a large group of people breathing right in their direction. Actors are not as safe as they could be working in these conditions, and I am a strong advocate that more work should be done to improve working conditions for all. Furthermore, I live with two disabled people, and protecting their health is a priority for me.

Therefore, I am only going to perform in as COVID-cautious work environments as I am able to. If you want to inquire about hiring me to perform, please do, but know that I will have follow-up questions about what safety protocols are in place.

I will also be focusing on theatre work that I am able to do while remaining masked, such as directing, producing, composing, musicianship, playwrighting, intimacy direction, and so on. If you want to hire me for those, this is a great time to do so. I mean, look how handsome I look in a mask! Why would you not want this vision in your rehearsal room?

Thank you in advance for doing your part to keep those around you safe by MASKING WHEN ATTENINDING THEATRE SHOWS, KEEPING UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINES AND BOOSTERS, and STAYING HOME IF YOU ARE SICK. Disabled people’s lives are valuable and we should not be dismissing them for the sake of “normalcy”.
