I’M THE REAL ONE
I’m currently in rehearsal as Lead artist/collaborator for I’m The Real One, which runs April 30 - May 3rd as part of Philly Theatre Week!
In our tenth season as a queer-centric theatre collective, The Bards Theatre Troupe tackle a subject that has absolutely no controversy or discourse attached to it: AI. From the impact on tangible societal markers like the economy, environment, and art to the more abstract shifts in connection, communication, and art, we’ll use scenes and songs (and probably puppets) to unpack the ways that the rise in AI use is changing how we all connect with each other. And don’t worry: everything we present was created by humans!
RENT
I’ll be the Intimacy Director for Narberth Community Theater’s production of Rent! The production runs May 1 - 15th.
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”.
