What's New: Graduate School in the U.K.
As of fall of 2010, I am living in Exeter, Devon (in the Southwest of England) attending the University of Exeter. I am here for the MFA in Staging Shakespeare program, which I will complete in the summer of 2012. Currently I am playing the roles of Duncan and MacDuff in MACBETH, which will be produced in Exeter in December. Look for video samples here in the Spring.
Please note that my former 617 phone number is out of service, so the best way to reach me is by email.
Recent Work
Acting:
Recent acting highlights include playing a featured role in the David O. Sullivan film "The Fighter", starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, soon to be released.
Directing:
in 2009,
I was delighted to return to the Bigfork Summer Playhouse in Montana for their 50th Anniversary Season to direct "The Wiz". Immediately after that, I returned home to Massachusetts to direct and choreograph fights for the Stoneham Theatre student production of "Treasure Island". I directed "Footloose" again in 2010, this time for UMass Lowell's Off Broadway Players.
Fight Choreography:
On the fight front, 2009 got off to a busy start with "Letters of Conflict" at the Underground Railway Theatre. After staging fights for Hampstead Stage's touring production of "Prince Caspian" in 2008, I choreographed some epic battles for their Greek mythology plays. I've returned twice to teach basics of stage combat for participants in the Boston Burlesque Expo. I also choreographed the violence for the Concord Players production of "To Kill A Mockingbird".
With my music degree, I took a highly successful turn choreographing opera with a fight in the Boston Conservatory production of Handel's "Serse." The director was thrilled to have a choreographer who knew the score, understood the language, and could time everything perfectly to fit the actions to the demands of singing.
