The Aliens


The Studio Theatre has opened their production of The Aliens by Annie Baker. The production was directed by Lila Neugebauer and stars Scot McKenzie as KJ, Brian Miskell as Evan and Peter O'Connor as Jasper. The production will be running from now until December 23 in the space's Milton Theatre with tickets ranging in price from $39.00 to $58.00. 

The play takes place in a back alley behind a coffeehouse in Vermont. Two professional slackers, KJ and Jasper, spend their days there just hanging out while a new kid who just started working at the coffeehouse, Evan, tries to get them to leave. In the end, KJ and Jasper take Evan under their collective wing and makes for an unlikely friendship between the three men. It is a show about music and art; It even draws it's title from the poet Charles Bukowski, whom the two slackers quote throughout.

These are some of the photos I took as pre-press for the production. Enjoy!







In other news, A Change Gon' Come is being remounted for Harriet Tubman's Centennial kick-off performance at the Unity Church of Gaithersburg on February 8, 2013. I will, of course, be reprising my role as the Overseer. More details to follow! Can't wait to be with my family again!
