Blast from the Past: Back Again to Lapin Agile

Here's a blast from the recent past courtesy of a sketch book from last year. I was in Muncie Civic Theatre's production of Picasso at the Lapin Agile in 2016 and I was asked by the director, Lysa Frankin to make a cast drawing. Here's a section of that drawing, based on a sketch by Lysa.

Adieu! Adieu!

Last Friday night we bid adieu to Waiting for Godot. Thank you to all the kind folks who visited with us wayfarers in the bog and those champion people who gave up their time to volunteer with the production. I want to thank Taylor Watkins and Thomas Nelson III for all of their outstanding work, Wendy Carpenter for her mad makeup skills and to my brilliant cast mates (Barry McMullen, Bob Green, Sean Orlosky and Cody Lee) for making life in the wasteland such a rich and rewarding experience. Thank you to our prolific director Lysa Franklin for guiding us on our journey through the imagination of Beckett. I consider myself blessed to have done two shows with Lysa as my director this year and I hope there many more opportunities in the future!

And finally thank you Lysa and Barry for Think, Dog! Productions! It’s nice to know there is a place in Muncie, Indiana for challenging and experimental work that allows for risk and stretches the boundaries of theatre. May the Dog forever bark loud and mightily!

Samuel Beckett’s WfG tells the simple and unconventional tale of two clownish wayfarers and their fruitless pursuits. Occasionally joined by an imperious master and his downcast slave, Vladimir and Estragon do their best to pass the time while they wait.

An icon of the Absurdist genre, described as “the quintessence of existentialism,” WfG is firstly one of the funniest and most absorbing pieces of drama we've yet to bring you!
