In Reverse Chronological Order

Turning Points - Turning Points was a fairly short play; it was about an hour long. Though the script had some serious problems, and I really didn't have the rehearsal time to get my performance to where I wanted it to be, I enjoyed working on it anyway. I played Doctor Andrew Stone, a guy who drank too much due to the fact that he was having marital problems. I was a little young for the part, but as the rest of the cast was also quite young, it wasn't so bad. The plot of Turning Points had a lot of similarities to The Big Chill, though the writer claimed he's never seen that movie.

About Face - About Face was a very bizarre play; it was about forty minutes long. Though I was on stage for the entire play, my part was pretty small... which was a good thing as I was also doing Turning Points at the time. My character, who didn't really have a name, was kinda like the embodiment of one of the main character's thoughts. While he talked, I interacted with a girl, who was also part of his thoughts, and had a line of dialogue now and then... or something like that.

Vic & Peri - Vic & Peri was bizarre... it made About Face seem rational. The title actually means "Victim and Experimenter;" it was all about the experimenter playing mind gamed with the victim. I was brought in to this play at the last minute. My part was really nothing more then a cameo appearance at the very end; I didn't even have any lines. I played a young Elvis Presley... there was also an old one. At the end of the play, for absolutely no reason, a big fat chicken waddles onto to stage, tells one of the main character to "Bock-Up," then the song "Singing in the Rain" starts playing. At this time, four additional chickens and the two Elvi come out and dance... I told you it was bizarre.

Farewell to Manzanar - Farewell to Manzanar was a play about what happened to the Japanese Americans during World War II and sense. We used a lot of eastern theater techniques such as puppets and masks... and Barbie dolls... don't even ask about that one. I played President Franklin D. Roosevelt in this play; as I had a mask on, my youthful appearance wasn't a factor. I also played several ensemble parts in this piece, but FDR was my main role.

Baba: Flight of the Monkey King - Baba: Flight of the Monkey King was the pre-show for Farewell to Manzanar; it was only about twenty minutes long. It was a series of historical stories about China as told by a young boy named Baba. I played the elder brother of Baba; I tried to instill values in him. I also played Buddha in a dream sequence; it was a segment in which a monkey kite comes to life in Baba's imagination... why is all my stage work so bizarre?

By the Dawns Early Light: The Return of Quetzalcótal - By the Dawns Early Light was a play all about how white people are bad; it was a sensationalist story about the Mexican-American War. In this play, three racest white guys are sent back in time by Quetzalcótal, the Mexican "Lord of the Dawn." By the end, two out of three of the guys chance their ways. I was actually cast as a priest who was only in two short scenes, but they also had me play a soldier... they couldn't find any other people who wanted to be in the play. My role of Lieutenant Higgens, or bad white guy number three as I call him, was actually far more interesting then the priest. I got to die at the end, that was fun. This was the first play I was in that people had to pay to see.

Hamlet - Hamlet is, of course, the play by William Shakespeare. I wouldn't have included this here at all if not for the fact that there are a few pictures from it on this website; I was in sixth grade at the time, and it was hardy acting. I played Horatio in it... and it frightens me that there are several video tapes of it in existence.
