The Philadelphia Story was a smash hit at Cleveland Play House despite some challenging weather. The show holds the program record for the most profitable and best attended production of the CWRU/CPH MFA program to date. I had an incredible team of designers and actors with which to work, and it was fun to tred the boards again as Willie Tracy. The process of directing and acting at the same time was a first for me, and while it was incredibly rewarding, I'm not sure I'll repeat it soon. It's definitely a different experience, and I'm not sure I've figured out how to effectively balance the two in rehearsal. But my team, as I said, was excellent and so all went well.
After a summer transitioning into my role as chair of the Department of Theater, I'm now in the middle of our Eldred Theater season. We're in rehearsal for A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Jayce Tromsness. It will be followed by The Addams Family, which I'm directing, assisted by Brad Wyner as music director.
I also completed dialect coaching Or at Dobama Theatre, which has been playing to great reviews.
