I have enjoyed acting since my first role as Sky Masterson in my high school's production of Guys and Dolls. After a long hiatus, I've played roles in local productions, mostly with Trumansburg's Encore Players Community Theatre.
Murder Mystery Dinner TheatreNovember 6, 2019 – I've enjoyed several roles with Crime Solvers. It's really fun to form a story around the character I'm playing, interacting with guests.- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Caractacus Potts)August 4, 2019 – Caractacus Potts was a joy to play, with delightful accents and stage presence.
- Artifice (Payne Showers)April 29, 2018 – Artifice is a hilarious romp packed with intrigue, relationships, near disaster, and, well, art.
- Are You Now or Have You Ever Been (Lionel Stander)November 6, 2016 – This was a staged reading of the play written in the 1970s about the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings in the 1950s.
- Out of the Blue (Improv)January 21, 2016 – I loved practicing and performing improvisation with this group, whether it be spoken, sung or danced.
- The Music Man (Mayor Shinn)August 2, 2015 – Mayor Shinn provided quite a bit of comic relief during this performance. His bluster and bombastic lines made him a pleasure to play!
- Spoon River (Various Characters)April 12, 2015 – Spoon River was satisfying on so many levels. I enjoyed getting to know my monologues, and then knowing the nuances of speech that could change their intonation in a heartbeat.
- Oliver! (Bill Sykes)August 3, 2014 – Bill Sykes stretched my vocal talents, requiring a rough-around-the-edges, intimidating performance.
- Guys and Dolls (Sky Masterson)March 31, 1991 – I began to come out of my shell as a junior and senior in high school. I played the role of Sky Masterson.
