So the time has come again for me to Direct a Show....its been just over two years since my last Directing Endevor and I am sooooo looking forward to getting back on this wagon. I am directing a play Called Beirut by Alan Bowne. Google it...type in Beirut by alan Bowne and you will get all kinds of articles about the play and reviews. That will tell you more about this show than I could here. I have two great lead actors and 4 men will be rotating as the Guard who appears once during the show. We are doing the show at Gorilla Tango Theater (www.gorillatango.com) and it will be a co-production with them. This pic was me at Auditions this past Tuesday where we foun our leading lady who is amazing! We open Jan 18th and run thru the 20th...then we break and come back Feb 15th and run through March 2nd on Fri, Sat and Sun eve's.

This is not a happy play- but in our political climate today- this show is perfect and fits in our Companies mission statement of being a story that is relavant and worth telling.

If any of you plan to be in chicago those dates, please come check it out. It's gonna be great!

YAY for theater!!
