Brrrrr...It's Cold In Here!

I was on the front page of the Arts & Living Section of this week's Nantucket Newspaper.

Here's the picture:


In this scene Gabrielle and I strip off layer after layer after layer of clothing, as my character tries to show what "comes next" after a first kiss. The play is set way up in the northernmost part of Maine during the bitter winter in a town so small it can't even be classified a town.

We opened Wednesday night to a meager audience (but they seemed to love it!) and the audience has been growing each night. I really adore this play. The characters are so sincere and likable. Plus the playwright has incorporated a thoughtful surprise at the end of each scene. Rachel, you would be perfect for one of the scenes I'm doing...I wish you were here! If any of you have lived or spent time in a small town....you would soooo identify with this show.

Cheers,
Ernest

I've been cast in a play!

I've been cast in the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket's production of Almonst, Maine. It's a play composed of 15 minute vignettes and I play 3 different characters in 3 of the vignettes. We rehearse for 2 weeks and then go up on the 16th of this month for a 3 week run. Here's the synopsis:

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend -almost- in this delightful midwinter night's dream.
