Character auto-bio about 90% done, about to start on the Hagen questions for each of the character's appearances, and listening to a first pass at a playlist for the character (informed by the bio)... 
learning lines, diving deep into the text (wondering why he occasionally has heavy drop of final Gs [on -ing endings] and f-bombs... loss of control? or using vernacular as a choice to soften up/intimidate his audience?)
God, I love this...

The Elite Theatre is proud to announce the cast for its upcoming production of Lobby Hero – a play by Kenneth Lonergan.

JEFF: Gabriel Tejada-Benitez
WILLIAM: Herb Hall
DAWN: Rosie Gordon
BILL: Bill Walthall

When Jeff, a charming young security guard, is drawn into a local murder investigation, loyalties are strained to the breaking point. Jeff’s tightly wound supervisor is called to bear witness in criminal trial involving his troubled brother.  Meanwhile, an attractive rookie cop finds she must stand up to her seasoned but morally suspect partner. Truth,  honor and duty becomes elusive, and justice proves costly in this comedic and insightful drama.

Lobby Hero, directed by Cate Caplin, will run for five weekends on the Main Stage from July 8 – August 7, 2022, with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8pm, and Sunday matinees at 2pm. There will also be a special Thursday night performance on August 4 at 8pm. 

Tickets on sale SOON!
OK, so let a new project begin. Can't announce it OK, so let a new project begin. Can't announce it yet (post-weekend... I'm such a tease), but I'm excited... there's nothing better than starting to break down a new script and diving into a new character.

It is a powerhouse of a production. @brianrharris79 has crafted a piece that is relentlessly truthful, at times funny, at times heartbreaking, and ultimately devastating. As someone who has dealt with depression, I felt that the writing by Marsha Norman and the performance of @bombshellbotanica as Jessie saw into my core in some of my darkest days. But it’s @ghostgirlparanormal who took me on the emotion ride of the night. Her Thelma’s arc as she navigates her emotions during this piece is simply stunning. There’s a sequence, maybe a minute and a half (I won’t say when but you’ll know it when you see it), where she creates a breathing space in which the audience is forced to process what is happening and the result is just real and transcendent, and like I said before devastating. 
Congrats to all involved with this production. It really needs to be seen.
