A B C... Pinocchio!

Torture's over and I made it through alive (ba-dum-bum-ching!) - from scarfing down fresh homemade french toast to working with a talented cast to discussing the implications of the show with audience members, it was a great experience. :)

Coming up next for me at the MET is a bit of a change of pace from my latest work there. I'll be playing Arlequino in The Commedia Pinnochio as part of the MET's Fun Company season.  Imagine Pinnochio as performed by a ragtag group commedia dell'arte players, with masks and puppets!  We start rehearsals soon and I'm thrilled to get into some movement work... be sure to check back here for when tickets go on sale online!

In the meantime, "A B C," a short film by Rob Parrish that I did makeup for this past April was an official selection at this year's DC Shorts Festival.  You can check out the film on Rob's Next to Heaven site by clicking here.

The film features Bryan Norrington and Joey Ibanez, who I performed with in "Clockwork Orange" and "Why Torture is Wrong and the People Who Love Them."
