BARK BARK BARK... I mean... MEOW.

Hello all!

Due to constant working and having Wait Until Dark open, I haven't posted in 10 days. I know you all have been anxiously awaiting my return, no?

King Lear at Agecroft received a fourth RAVE review. Go see it. Buy your tickets now. Wait Until Dark at Swift Creek Mill received two excellent reviews as well - go see that one (running till July 23)

Today's CultshaExpo in Richmond was amazing - the conjunction theatre, dance, art, science, etc. into the Science Museum of VA was amazing. Great performances by all, and a flashmob by Theatre IV to boot!

And now, for your weekly dose of crazy. This cat was caught barking... and sheepishly tries to cover it up.

Wait Until Dark and King Lear

It's been a long week or so since my last posting - so here's why:

Like I mentioned in my last post - I'm working on two shows right now. More specifically, I now have two shows open which I have worked on.

One is King Lear, at Agecroft Hall. A fantastic show, cast, crew, and venue. I even created a trailer for King Lear. (click to see it!)

The second show? Wait Until Dark, at Swift Creek. It's another fantastic show, with a stellar cast, crew, and venue. Needless to say, with Tom Width at the helm, this has to be a wonderful show.

Come see both of them! And if I haven't convinced you to see Wait Until Dark... maybe this will:

Kid's Got Dolphin Senses

I'm working on a show right now - Wait Until Dark at Swift Creek Theatre. It revolves around one... unusual... day in the life of a blind woman. The other show I'm working on (King Lear at Agecroft Hall) has one character who loses his sight midway through the play.

So I've done some research on how people cope with blindness - and I came across this remarkable video:

More Halo? Yes, please.

I am a fan of Halo.

You may hate me for this, you may like me for this. I don't care - it's a great game, and even you video-game hipsters (Those who think it's too mainstream or that it's sold out - you know who you are) have to agree - it has it's awesome moments.

So when I saw on my phone today that Microsoft announced Halo 4 at E3 (thanks, Jerry Carlson!) I went nuts with excitement. I have never come across a part of Halo that I didn't like, and it looks like we're heading into a whole new trilogy!

It will be different to follow the Chief without Bungie, this is true. They created all that was Halo. However, I bet it will still be a fantastic game.

So you know where I'll be, come Holiday 2012 - right here:

Oh, How the Days Go By

I have been a very busy person lately. It's a little insane how busy, actually.

Fortunately, I'm working on things I love. But my workdays are running in the 12-16 hour ranges, as I'm entering tech for one show and tech for another show the following week. (By the way, go see King Lear at the Richmond Shakespeare Festival, and then go see Wait Until Dark at Swift Creek Mill Theatre. BOTH SHOWS WILL BE FANTASTIC.)

So when I have some free time, I like to read, or browse the internet, or spend time with my lovely lady, or my family. You know, normal stuff.

But sometimes, I just find stuff on Youtube like this:

Why The Prequels Were Awful

Star Wars. I own the VHS, DVD's, and have read much of the expanded universe. It's got a life of its own. But I've always wondered - how could George Lucas have messed up the prequels so badly?

He was given so much to work with, after all. Overall, the prequels were just meant to be cash-makers. Really, it seemed as though Lucas had nothing to do with them at all.

This explains so much.
