SUNDAY ON THE ROCKS Monologue

4/30/2020

 
Since Shelter in Place started, I've been having fun occasionally recording little monologues and songs using different "props" from around my apartment. In this one, I get to drink "scotch" (i.e. water) out of my favorite mug.

An intense two-hander, Roan @ the Gates explores the tension between choosing "what is right" and the ones you love. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the very talented Jeunée Simon (pictured above), smart and thoughtful playwright Christina Gorman, and expert director M. Graham Smith. Set in the round, the staging is unusual, intimate, and intense. Find out more and purchase tickets at centralworks.org

I'm excited to announce that my next show will be Roan @ The Gates with Central Works. I'll be playing the role of Roan opposite Jeunée Simon in this fast-paced political thriller, written by the Christina Gorman and directed by M. Graham Smith.  It opens July 20 and closes Aug 18 at Central Works in Berkeley.

“If the government can access our information, they can get to you, they can get to a CEO; they can get to a Presidential candidate. What’s being collected and stored is not information; it’s leverage.” Could you still love your partner if she followed her conscience but kept you in the dark? A long-time couple confronts questions that they never thought to ask as their marriage collides with national security.

THE BALD SOPRANO is selling out!

6/3/2019

 
It has been such an absolute pleasure to work on this hilarious, absurd little show with such a talented group of artists!  We've only one weekend left and tickets are selling out quickly! Grab one now before they're gone! And check out the wonderful review from Jean Schiffman of the San Francisco Examiner below...
Part of what makes Melrose’s staging so perfect is the attention to detail, starting with the simplest possible set, which is all that’s needed: a trio of orange wall panels, a black leather couch and two leather chairs.

In addition, the actors’ every expression, gesture and movement are precisely coordinated in this very physical show, from Rogers’ mincing trot and tiny, strained smile to Nolan’s juggling and magic tricks (an inspired add-on to the antics) to the chaotic penultimate scene in which the characters resemble wind-up toys run amok, standing upside down, somersaulting, spinning like tops, screaming banal aphorisms, batting each other with sofa cushions.
