I Confess...

The end of Chicago has come and I am extremely sad to see it go, but luckily I have some new things coming up. Always onto the next step! It was a great run and I couldn't be more pleased to have shared it with all of my new friends and family. We got a lot of great memories out of the deal and some even better reviews...



And as I continue my adventures, I'll actually be focusing on a show I've already done for the DC Black Theatre Festival this June. A Change Gon' Come is being remounted with almost the same cast as before as part of this annual festival. The show will be slightly abbreviated in order to fit into the time constraints of the festival and rehearsals are already underway. We'll be performing twice, once on June 12 at 4 pm and again June 16 at 8 pm, at the Mount Vernon Square United Methodist Church in DC. Again, I'll be playing the Overseer, which you will not want to miss because I can honestly say it is the most intense and dynamic character I've played to date. Tickets are only $15 and you can them here...


I am also proud to say that A Change Gon' Come will also be travelling to Tampa, Florida early 2012 for a limited number of performances for a conference for Sodexo executives! Now I can call myself a touring artist!


Also on the horizon; I've been asked to play the role of Reverend Shaw Moore in a production of Footloose with the Academy of the Holy Cross Summer Stock! I was a little apprehensive at first, but after listening to some of the music and researching the show a little more I really think this will be a great chance for me to build a really strong character. And besides, it's a professional credit to add to my resume! I don't have many other details on performance dates or casting, but I will get that information out to you all as soon as possible! Things are looking up for my career as a professional and I'm very excited about it!
