Good News

Well, I am finally off book for all of my scenes in the Tempest. Things are going quite well at rehearsal. The challenge I am currently encountering is how to deepen my relationship with the text while mining as many possible ways to play each moment. I have found some “comfortable” choices, but Shakespeare demands so much more. The sudden and direct onset of a madness driven by grief that fades immediately upon encountering Prospero during the play’s final act is quite fun to play, but I still feel that I need to explore more subtle aspects in these all consuming emotions.

I have left A Taste of California after two and one half years and am now working for Citadel Investments. Things are wonderful in this regard and I am quite happy.
