I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sophia Romma as Slava in her adaptation of Chekov’s The Mire, directed by Charles Weldon. The play received a rave review from The NY Times. I also played the part of Norman Thayer Jr. in On Golden Pond at the Deertree Festival in Maine. I have played Myron Engle in the Peccadillo Theater Co. production of Morning Star by Sylvia Regan. In an earlier life I did voiceovers, and solo vocals for radio and TV ads, like Revlon’s “Charlie,” Pan Am’s “Makes the going great” and Kodak’s “Nice and Easy.” I just completed a screenplay about my time spent in Haiti and I hope it will be made into a motion picture. But right now all my attention is focused on Cabaret Émigré.
