“Freud’s Last Session” at Taproot Theatre

“Air raid sirens sound overhead, CS Lewis is a young and rising academic star and Sigmund Freud has invited him for tea.  What could possibly come next?”

You should come see this one. It’s an exciting two-hander and I’m playing CS Lewis opposite Nolan Palmer as Sigmund Freud.  This play has been running off-Broadway for the better part of two years, consistently extending its performances, and has captured the hearts of New York theatre goers.

This production is the play’s regional premiere, and I’m thrilled to be part of local audiences’ first experience of this play. It’s my hope that it will inspire, confront, and provoke you as the characters wrestle with some of the greatest questions of their lives. This is my second production with Taproot Theatre Company, and I’m thrilled to be returning to their unique theatrical space.

If all of the above didn’t convince you, let me add this: it’s short. 1 Act, with a running time just north of an hour.

Here’s the info:

JourneyQuest Begins! (again!)

It is webseries season in the Seattle area again, and this year, I’m involved with one of the best. JourneyQuest is a fantasy-comedy written by Matt Vancil (The Gamers, Dorkness Rising) and Directed by Matt Vancil and Ben Dobyns. It’s first season began as a privately-funded project, and was impressive not only for it’s success, but also it’s unique distribution model.

JourneyQuest

The Journey is a Quest.

JourneyQuest is produced and distributed  by Zombie Orpheus Entertainment under a Creative Commons License. Having felt burned by traditional production and distribution channels, the producers of JourneyQuest chose to seek funding by crowd-sourcing. Their Kickstarter campaign raised enough money to fund a feature-length season, while allowing the production team to increase the technical quality of the overall production.

Keep on the look out for the second season of JourneyQuest, with episodes streaming this summer!
