What's Wrong With This Picture? I'm In It! Part 1: Thirteenth Street Reportory Company
I HAD THE GREAT GOOD FORTUNE of being a member of the Thirteenth Street Repertory Company. While trying my best to learn the craft of acting, in front of a live New York City audiences, by performing in plays, doing stand-up, telling my stories, just being myself. People at the Rep., suggested that I should jot my little stories down. Perhaps something good could come of it.
Some of those very stories, were developed into the play 'What’s wrong with this picture? I’m in it!'. A comedic look back at my life, my family, and some of the women I’ve been ‘lucky’ enough to have met in my life. Initially the play was envisioned as a one man show, but, it quickly developed into a full fledged show, featuring many other characters.
Greg Vorob, was one of the actor/directors at the rep., who had heard my stories, and lucky for me, he agreed to direct the show, and helped guide it throughout its development. The play was first showcased at the Thirteenth Street Repertory Company, in three readings, each followed by a Q&A. It was then produced, as a full blown play & premiered in August of 2003., where it ran for five weeks, with three performances per week.

AFTER ITS SUCCESSFUL PREMIERE at The Thirteenth Street Repertory Company. A revised version of the play, was accepted into, and produced during The 2004 New York International Fringe Festival, and showcased at The Soho Playhouse in New York City. During this run, I got the chance to play Russel, the lead. So not only did I write the play, and produce the show at the Fringe, I finally got the chance to play the lead....
