From the beginning of 1994 through April, 2000, I went through a bit of career soul searching. Decided to stop doing showcases for a while and insist on more paying work (probably a mistake because showcases kept me creative, sharp, and alive as an artist). Soon I was to meet Hamilton "Joe" Clancy of The Drilling Company through my friend Lizabeth Allen and start a long relationship with that company. Soon I was to become a Top 30 Finalist in Project Greenlight One at the beginning of 2001 (for the movie version of my play, Desert Rites). Soon September 11th was to have a huge impact on the lives off all New Yorkers. But first let's go backwards from... |

Photos from the full length, Desert Rites, by Stephen Bittrich. The director was Will Pomerantz, and it was produced by Pulse Ensemble Theatre, Betka Productions, and Laurie Sanders-Smith. This was a very special production for me because it was a huge undertaking to act, write, and help to produce. One of the coolest experiences of my life.

Poster from a production of Cloud Nine by Caryl Churchill. The director was Paul Wagar, and it was produced by Pulse Ensemble Theatre. I played Harry and Martin. Don't think we took any photos from that production, but man, I love that play. Great stuff.

Photo from a production of The Marriage of Bette and Boo by Christopher Durang. I played Boo. The director was Phillip Galbraith, and it was produced by some friends of mine at Madison Avenue Theatre. Can't remember Lisa's last name who played Bette, but she was quite good. I'll stumble on my program eventually and add it later.

Photos from my regional theatre debut at the Walnut Street Studio Theatre. It was also the Philadelphia premiere of Down the Road by Lee Blessing. I played serial killer, Bill Reach. The production was directed by Alexa Kelly. This was definitely a highlight in my acting life. Read reviews.
