Happy New Year, everyone.

I can't believe it's November already. There is so much exciting stuff going on.
I started rehearsals today for A Christmas Carol at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. The environment is so incredibly welcoming, supportive, and collaborative. I'm in heaven.
Also, I can finally announce that I'll be spending some time in Boston this spring: I'll be partying with a big man-eating plant in Little Shop of Horrors at the New Repertory Theatre. I cannot WAIT.
Happy November, everyone.

There are several things that you might need to catch up since I shut down the site to rearrange it back in June 2011. Here's a recap of the past few months (and looking ahead into November):
JULY 2011
- I finished my contract (and composed the music/lyrics to two more ESL children's musicals: Charlie's Video Game Adventure and Finding Home) with the Gyeonggi English Village Edutainers in Paju, South Korea
- I moved to New York City (Brooklyn, really) to continue trying this whole acting and songwriting thing.
- I landed a regular slot with the Singer/Songwriter Sessions on Sundays at NYC's renowned Bitter End
- My solo show Billy & Blake (currently in development) was picked up for its premiere staging with the Tongue in Cheek Theatre's Plus One Solo Show Festival. The festival will run Sunday and Monday, November 20th and 21st, 2011, both at 8 pm, at the Bridge Theater, 244 W. 54th Street, 12th Floor, New York City. For tickets, visit SmartTix.com.
