"Goodbye New York, Goodbye Heart" at HERE Arts Center


Just started reherasal for a new play by Australian playwright Lally Katz and directed by Oliver Butler. The show runs at HERE Arts Center (145 6th Avenue) from December 1st through December 21st. Call 212-352-3101 for additional ticket information. Here's a brief teaser...more to come:
Caroline, a real live young woman, falls for a suicidal prophet who lives in a virtual simulacrum of New York that’s about to come crashing down like a house of cards. Can she go Orpheus one better and write her own happy ending? Or will she get stuck in a fragile virtual world with the rest of the seekers of the impossible?

Next up... I am looking forward to performing the role of Otto Frank in a production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" at the Riverside Theatre in Iowa City, Iowa. We will be using the newly adapted script by Wendy Kesselman (it ran in NYC in 1997).
Performances run from October 15th through November 8th.

This is the world premiere English adapation of this early 20th century play,and is being presented as part of The Festival of Jewish Theater and Ideas.
There are eight performances over the next three weeks. Please go to TheatreMania for date, price and ticket information.

The Silent Boy


Just returned from a 6 week tour of Artspower's new production of Lois Lowery's The Silent Boy. It was a terrific company to travel with and we had a great time performing this play in both the southern and midwestern areas of the country.

My Heart in a Suitcase- National Tour





I'm so pleased to be back in the National Tour of My Heart in a Suitcase this spring! After a year away from the play, it is great to revisit this role with Laralu Smith, who is also returning to the tour, and our new company members Rachel F. Hirsch, Megan Haran and Cassie Wolgamott.
We will be touring over the next few months throughout the midwest and southeastern states.
