... so I managed to happen to be in the right place at the right time and
get myself cast in a supporting lead role in the local Glendale production
of "Teahouse of the August Moon" (Yea! with George Stratten - Directing)
Teahouse is a charming, funny and smart post-WWII family-friendly comedy set
in Okinawa about the US military's early attempts to bring democracy and
industry to a small island village.
Delightfully timely in it's particular content, we have a strong ensemble
cast that I'm really proud to be a part of for my first big stage piece.
Plus, the audience gets to see me make my way through a completely
Japanese-speaking role - which is a fun challenge right up front (and no, I
don't normally speak that particular language...luckily we have a dozen
native speakers in our cast, as well as a funny round-up of character
players... and of course, a baby goat!).
Will be playing October 12th through November 19th, Wednesdays through
Saturdays (5 shows per week) at the Glendale Centre Theatre (which is the
beautiful little ivy-covered theatre on Orange St. directly behind Portos).

The discount coupon [attached] are good for multiple ticket purchases
(including free beverages at the theatre); call for reservations - print,
fold and bring-em along.
And yes, in case there were any doubt, this is way more fun than applying
and testing Oracle patches.
See you at the theatre!
