Moon Man Walk

The Fair Maid of the West

Goodlack

The Wizard of Oz meets The Princess Bride in Thomas Heywood's swashbuckling comedy, adapted and directed by Kevin Theis. In this production I played Goodlack - a ruthless swordsman and captain who struggles with finding his moral compass.

Othello

Othello

Played the titular character in Shakespeare's most domestic tragedy. This production of Othello was set in and outside the Green Zone of Iraq during the USA's occupation in the early 2000's.

Getting Out

Carl

In Marsha Norman's two act drama, I played Carl: the antagonistic, drug addicted, pimp ex-boyfriend of the story's protagonist Arlene as she tries to lead a normal life after being released from prison.

Machinal

Man

In this unique expressionistic piece I played the role of Man/Lover, a sultry womanizer who gives the protagonist, Helen, a glimpse of freedom from her mechanical unsatisfying marriage and life.

As You Like It

Jaques

This psychadelic interpretation of Shakespeare's pastoral comedy, As You Like It, was set in the 1960's. I portrayed the melancholy Jaques (tasked with the famous "All the world's a stage" monologue) as a bongo banging beatnik.
