A couple months ago, I was cast in a lead role in an original drama/comedy entitled The Boardinghouse by Gil Martin. It's a great script and is planned to serve as a potential sitcom pilot. I'm playing "Jerry," a mentally-challenged young man who lives with his sister. “Jerry” is a wonderfully sweet and funny character and I really love to take on diverse and interesting roles. Unfortunately, the play has been delayed. We were hoping to open in October/November but it looks like February is more likely. Rats. I was looking forward to getting back on stage this fall.

Well, as luck would have it, a friend emailed to let me know about auditions for a production of Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning play How I Learned to Drive. I auditioned and got the great part of pedophile "Uncle Peck." Drive bravely examines the taboo subject of abuse with startling originality and forces you to reexamine your stereotypical ideas. Both humorous and compassionate, this play tells the story of a complex relationship between uncle and niece — and how the niece learned to survive. I'm really looking forward to tackling this challenging role.

The show opens in early November and I'll keep you all posted as things progress.

I was reading Dave and saw your post. Playing Uncle Peck sounds a bit challenging. Good Luck!
