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!

Picasso at the Lapin Agile

Sad news. The Rabbit died. The Nimble Rabbit is no more at the Muncie Civic Studio Theatre, but the memories of Picasso at the Lapin Agile shall last for a very long time. It's always bittersweet when a show closes especially one where you are surrounded by a group of talented artists that create theatre magic every night. It was wonderful to share the stage with some great friends and some new friends! Thank you to Lysa Franklin, Sean Orlosky, Thomas Nelson, Taylor Watkins, Dakota Reed, Jeff Rapkin, Katy Wolfe, Fred Hefter, Alexandria Hudson, Becca Rankin, Daniel Gibson, Wendy Carpenter, Gabe Carpenter and Mary Williams! It has been a rich and rewarding experience and I hope our paths cross again and again to make some more remarkable theatre! And thank you to our amazing audiences who gave us such a successful run!
