I missed the general non-equity auditions, because of a gig, I hope
very much to make the next round whenever they maybe.
I am hoping to have new headshots posted by the end of October, that
will depend on a number of things keeping fingers crossed.
Yes the below is old news.....
The below is from
the summer:
Girl in the Iron Mask is now closed. The
reviews were decent with the
exception of the following
here is a snippet from The Washington Post
You'll Find Some Points Are Sharper Than Others

__SNIP__ I did cut a portion of here that was NOT about our play
Swords also lunge and parry -- visibly this time, but much less
divertingly -- in the Georgetown Theatre Company's "The Girl in the
Iron Mask." This halting two-hour production, directed by Andrew
Wassenich, has a nifty premise: Drawing on Alexandre Dumas
père's tale of a mysterious metal-visored prisoner, playwright
R.L. Nesvet (a Washington area native) has spun a tale of noblewomen
and female musketeers scheming their way through a Sun King-like
regime. The script was commissioned and premiered by the Chicago troupe
Babes With Blades, which promotes stage-combat options for women -- a
mission one can only applaud. Georgetown deserves credit for taking up
the baton.
Unfortunately, fight director Cliff Williams III's choreography feels
stagy and laborious, and the non-dueling scenes -- looking sad and
threadbare on the mostly scenery-free stage at the Universalist
National Memorial Church -- are equally lackluster. Tina Segovia supplies a brief, wry portrait of
Louis XIV's finance minister, but, among other performances, Amy
Quiggins's take on Artémis, a rapier-wielding nun, is more
watchable than electrifying, and Heather Whitpan is stiff in her double
role of royal twins. The cast's close friends and immediate relatives
will no doubt appreciate this production; other ticket holders might
feel they've been sunk in an oubliette.
