To the Vinyard!


So I just recently watched the film "Once" again and loved it. It's a spectacular film. If you haven't seen it yet, go out and rent it. Glen Hansard who plays the character of the "Guy", is from the band "The Frames" which is huge in Ireland. I know their music well and Damien Rice once stated that they are his biggest influence. Check them out.

Some great news. I will be taking over the role of Hanschen in Spring Awakening starting April 22nd. I'm very excited. It's a wonderfully rich character and it's an honor to fill the shoes of Jonathan B. Wright who originated the role. I will retain my understudy position as Melchior and will continue to explore that character. I'm thrilled to be attached to these two roles. I am very passionate about both of them. It's wonderful to be bumped up from the swing position. I have worked hard in that position for over a year now and I am very grateful to have the rare opportunity of bumping up into a full time character for the time being.

I'm working on a few things right now. It's been an exciting few months and I'm hoping for a very busy summer that will possibly take me all over the place.

Looking forward to an interesting couple of months. Will keep you all updated.
