Alfresco Productions, Granite City, IL – 2024 Judge Turpin. Another bucket list show to be sure and so far, the greatest of my “bad guy” roles. While very few of the lead roles have any redeeming traits, Judge Turpin has none. Haughty, conceited, and lustful it was very satisfying to be cheered as my throat […]
Alton Little Theater, Alton, IL – 2023 The Clown. An interesting and somewhat difficult one act. Centered around the circus that came to town and the killing of a brand new elephant handler during the circus parade.
Looking Glass Playhouse, Lebanon, IL – 2023 Hercule Poirot.This was a bucket list show. Ever since my lackluster French accent in South Pacific I’ve wanted another chance. I was cast in the ensemble for this show as Covid 19 hit so I never got to perform. But this was my chance. I am please to […]
Alton Little Theater, Alton, IL – 2023 Ensemble I first saw this show at the last preview performance before it moved from Chicago to New York, and have always wanted to be involved. I worked very hard in the ensemble for this, with ten costume changes throughout the show, I also made the Holy Hand […]
Looking Glass Playhouse, Lebanon, IL – 2023 Eugene Krabs I like SpongeBob in the long-form. The show not so much, but this was a very fun show to do. A restaurant owner, and father to my whale daughter Pearl. Getting the voice right was very necessary, and working with giant inflatable boxing gloves on took […]
Alton Little Theater, Alton, IL – 2023 Ladislav Sipos One of, if not my actual, favorite shows. Playing Ladislav Sipos, in this production, a family man trying to keep his job. With a wonderful score, funny comedic moments, and a love story adapted many times over the years, a fun favorite.
Goshen Theatre Project, Collinsville, IL – 2022 Mr. Alonzo Smith Head of the Smith family and protagonist because he thinks the family should move to New York. Something I thought I had to do since I had moved to the St. Louis area.
Alton Little Theater, Alton, IL – 2022 Poor inept Larry Drayton, is another of my “bad guy” roles. Not evil, just lazy and money-hungry. Larry and his wife Traci go to visit his mother at her retirement home in Florida after he is told accidentally about his mother’s strange spending habits by her broker. A […]
Looking Glass Playhouse, Lebanon, IL – 2022 Mr. Bumble Lionel Bart’s adaptation of Charles Dicken’s novel. I played Mr. Bumble, the beadle of the orphanage where we find Oliver at the show’s beginning. Pompous, boisterous, and self-important without reason, always looking for the easy way. The first of my “bad guy” roles.
Looking Glass Playhouse, Lebanon, IL – 2022 John Major Playing a present-day historical figure was a new one for me. Prime Minister John Major. In a show that takes place mostly in a single set of just two chairs. Queen Elizabeth II meets with various of her Prime Ministers. Showcasing her and the issues she […]
