I'm fine! Are you fine? I do hope you are. This covid-19 epidemic is a stressful and terrible time. I am grateful to be healthy and safe - and to finally have some free time.
Lost Nation Theater's spring production of Gruff! was, of course, postponed. The summer premiere of The Comedy of Wizards (a fantasy musical adaptation of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors by myself and Toby Singer) was likewise postponed. My Brooklyn hospital residencies as a pediatric clown are VERY much postponed (I'm more of an existential worker than an essential worker.)
What am I doing? I'm writing - Toby and I continue work on The Comedy of Wizards, and Growl! needs reformatting.
I'm learning to make my own puppets - watch out world!
I'm learning more German.
I'm practicing juggling.
I'm practicing monitor puppetry.
I'm playing a lot of Munchkin (I highly recommend this board game if you have two or more fellow quarantiners) and hnefatafl (a great board game for two players, and a great compromise since Kate Kenny won't play chess with me and this game is slightly similar. Plus, you get to pretend you're a viking when you play it.)

| I'm looking forward with hope towards next year. Lost Nation Theater shares my hope that we can reschedule Gruff! I'll be reassuming the role of Aquifer as well as directing it. I'm also hoping the premiere of The Comedy of Wizards will happen next year (I was slated to direct that as well.) |  |
I'll also be updating this blog with a backlog of updates and content going back two years! Oi. I'm planning to roll out posts on some kind of semi-regular schedule so I don't get overwhelmed. So, to start with, here's a short slide show of pics from Twelfth Night at Lost Nation Theater in the summer of 2018, directed by the amazing Amanda Rafuse.
I also doubled as Fabian, who ended up being a preppy stoner in this production. Somehow I don't have any photos of that!
It just occurred to me that this was also the last play that Kate Kenney and I got to act in together. Since this blog is mostly perused by important directors and influential casting agencies, and not just by my mother, I hope you will take note and rectify this situation post haste (but after the epidemic.)
Until next time...
