TITUS Audition This Afternoon

Today is the day of my audition for TITUS ANDRONICUS at the American Globe Theatre.

I have done all of my text work and have gone over both scenes a number of times, so I feel as ready as one can.

We'll see what happens.

Opening Night A Success!

As expected, opening night was a rousing success. The audience laughed and enjoyed themselves immensely. I couldn't be happier with the turnout.

I would like to thank the cast of TITUS ANDRONICUS (which opens next week at The Secret Theatre) for showing their support by attending the performance.

Back again tonight.

MIDSUMMER Opens In A Few Hours

Tonight is the big night! Hoping for a full house.

We'll see what happens.

Audition For Crime Drama IN THE COMPANY OF MISFITS On Saturday

I just snagged an audition for the role of Fred, a pessimistic misanthrope who has grown tired of his life working as a hit-man for the local crime lord in the crime noir/dark comedy IN THE COMPANY OF MISFITS, to be directed by Morgan Eschmann.

FROSTED JUSTICE Update

I received this email from FROSTED JUSTICE director Michael Deaerborn

Hey Timothy,

Just wanted to thank you again for you participation in my film. I got the rough cut put together tonight and it looks great. Your performance definitely adds a lot to the piece. Hopefully I can have the short digitized, on a DVD and in the mail to you in the next few weeks. Once I get a DVD copy for you, I'll shoot you an email asking where I should send it.

Final Dress...

...just ended about an hour ago and went very well. We even had a few people in the audience, who laughed a lot and overall seemed to enjoy themselves...so that tells me that we have a winner on our hands here.

Tomorrow is the big opening night.

Can't wait.

MIDSUMMER Final Dress Tonight

Tonight is our final dress rehearsal for MIDSUMMER. Hard to believe that it's just about that time for another opening.

Last night's run felt a little sloppy, but no worries...we get to do it again in just a few houirs.

I think we have reached the point where we need an audience to react. When we hear those first laughs tomorrow night...and they will come early...we will all be at ease.

More production photos were taken last night as well, so I'm sure we'll be receiving those very soon.

Opening night tommorrow. Can't wait!

Last Night

Last nights' first dress rehearsal/run went very well, I thought. Everything looks good as far as the set and the performancews of my colleagues. The sound and lights are running very smoothly as well. The music used in the production, provided by sound designer Jillian Marie Walker's sister, is extraordinary. It perfectly sets the mood for the entire show.

As far as my own scenes with the mechanicals, I thought they poppped with a lot of energy, although at times a little too much energy vocally, but that's very easy to pull back.

Overall, a fine run of the show, although we did add five minutes onto the first act, which is not good, but also very easy to fix.

Back again tonight.

Two From O'Toole

Here are two scenes from the 1964 film BECKETT with the great Peter O'Toole.

Possible Film Role in Scott Goldberg's MR. MULLEN

Nothing is set in stone as of yet, but I may be working on the upcoming film MR. MULLEN, directed by Scott Goldberg.

MR. MULLEN is a film about the crash of the economy and the corruption that comes from behind the scenes with big business corporations and the Federal Reserve. Chris Mitchell, a man who has worked hard his whole life loses his life savings and his job due to government corruption. He targets Senator Edward D. Mullen, a man who is responsible for Chris’ lost life savings. Not able to take it anymore, Chris seeks revenge on Edward and his family.

I hope to play the role of Chris' father Thomas. If cast, the shooting will take place in Glen Cove, Long Island in the next couple of weeks.

OVER COFFEE Update

Heard from director Sean Meehan regarding the comedy short OVER COFFEE. Sean has stepped back from working on the film a little to finish some other projects, but has estimated that he'll have something ready to show people in January or February.

Some MIDSUMMER Photos

Thanks to Chris Kateff for these great photos from this past weekend.

Audition for Film THIS IS STILL LIFE On Saturday Morning

On Saturday morning, I will reading for the role of an unemployed alcoholic named Russell in the film THIS IS STILL LIFE, to be directed by Martha McCann. It follows a young girl named Sinead, who is celebrating her 17th birthday in the city with her father Russell. Although they have a broken relationship, they come together on this night to try and renew their bond as father and daughter.

MIDSUMMER Tech

Two days of solid tech rehearsals later, the cast and crew of MIDSUMMER are ready to enter production week. In my opinion, both tech rehearsals were the most organized and relaxed tech rehearsals I have ever been involved with. We got out early on both rehearsals, so that will tell you how organized they were. Director Katie Carter assembled one hell of a crew for this production and I'd like to thank each member by name.

Stage Manager: Griffin Parker
Sound Design: Jillian Marie Walker
Costume Design: Jeni Ahlfeld
Lighting Design: Lisa Hufnagel
Assistant Director: Paul Markert
Assistant Stage Manager: Gabby Senatore

From here on out, every run of the show is going to be treated like a performance.

As far the show itself, it is running wonderfully, with the entire cast giving strong performances. As for myself, I am having a great deal of fun playing Peter Quince once again.

Can't wait for the opening on Thursday.

TITUS ANDRONICUS Audition on Friday

I received my sides for my audition for TITUS ANDRONICUS at the American Globe Theatre, which will take place on Friday afternoon.

I received two sides for my audition. In the first side, I'll be looking at the role of Goth # 2. He's a warrior and battle hardened.

In the second side, I'll be looking at the role of Chiron. He is one of Tamora's evil, wicked sons, who rapes Lavinia and cuts out her tongue and chops off her hands. He finds delight in evil. So not light stuff.

Looking forward to this.

FROSTED JUSTICE Pictures

Thanks to actor Frank Sellers for these pictures from the FROSTED JUSTICE shoot.

MIDSUMMER Tech Begins Tomorrow

Tomorrow and Sunday will be long days at the theatre, as we are entering tech week, in preparation for the opening of the show on Thursday.

After a few days away, I feel nice and rested and ready to jump back into the mix.
