I've been blogging for TheatreFace for over a year.

Wow. That was fast.

One of the best things about writing regularly is that you have a record of your improvements and your thoughts and aspirations.

One of the worst things about writing regularly is that you have a record of all the places you need improvement and all your crazy or weird thoughts and aspirations.…

LDI is such a big show, but that doesn't mean it can't be any fun. Here's my joking take on all the crazy things that won't happen at LDI this year. I hope you laugh, and tell me what you think won't happen at LDI this year!

Congrats to all the nominees and winners at this year's 2012 Tony Awards!

I'm writing that prematurely, and after the fact. I haven't watched the Tonys yet -- I live out on the West Coast where it's time-delayed, and I was also actually out watching theatre this evening, so while everyone's won -- I still haven't seen the show. I *have* seen clips of it though, thanks to YouTube, which I'll gladly share here. Got any more? Let me know, and I'll embed them here.

Here are my notes from the Digital Painting and Printing for Fabric session from USITT 2012. Yes, despite the very tactile nature of the textile side of things, the digital revolution is changing things in costumes just like everywhere else.

I tried to give credit where appropriate, and to include…

Another week, another blog on the performance side of theater. This week, another list of resolutions for 2012, (which is coincidentally the last year people will care about the Mayans ever).

Last week I talked about my resolutions as an actor for 2012. This week will be a list of a few goals I hope to hit when I'm wearing my directing hat (which is a moose hat,…

Good news! I'm taking my first true vacation in a few years this year! Even better news! I'm headed to England for the first time! I'll be headed to England at the end of February. Some people go to the beach in winter, I go to the theatre, that's just how I roll.

Since we bought the tickets I've been…

It's 2012--end of the world! Only one thing to do: make some lists about artistic goals.

I was going to do a top 10 countdown in the spirit of New Years, but really the items I wanted to include are best represented in an unordered list. So without further ado, here they are:

Have Fun.

We certainly don't do theater for the money. A fellow actor in a show that was in his 80's once told me, "once I stop having fun,…
