The Biblical Tobias in the film, LOST LETTERS OF FAITH.                                  A less than Biblical group of grooms from FIDDLER   

And so the story continues, by looking back a little...

AND THEN....
 I completed a new production of MAN OF LA MANCHA for White Plains Performing Arts Center. This was the initial production for this jewel of a LORT Theatre.   This was followed by playing  JP Morgan and Grandfather in their concert version of RAGTIME, at WPPAC, as well. (The following production photos by Carlos Gustavo Monroy)

Many of you saw me reprise my roles in Hal Prince's  production of CANDIDE, with the New York City Opera in March and  April of 2008. What a terrific and creative year. (Photos on Gallery of Photos page) 

And it continues, recently completed  benefit concert performances of SHOWBOAT, at the acclaimed and historical venue, Carnegie Hall. Previously, I performed other wonderful concerts in that hall; one special concert was ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, with Scott Bakula, Madeline Kahn, Bernedette Peters and Angela Lansbury who played in the original production. Again, it was my great fortune to work with Stephen Sondheim.

In the FALL OF 2008, I created the role of down and out, "George" in the theatrical film, LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, starring Cybill Shepherd, Shirley Knight  and rising star, Kent Moran.  Look for its release, in 2010.


In the SPRING OF 2009, I appeared in a cameo, as the spineless, simple  "Landlord", in the YouTube video, US ON YOUR SIDE.  A  precious taste of subtlety, to begin the new year.  Which has been followed by ABBA creators of CHESS and MAMA MIA,  their American Premiere of KRISTINA, in concert at Carnegie Hall. We will be flying to London in April, 2010, for concerts of this magnificent show, at the prestigious  Royal Albert Hall.

Next was a staged reading of THE LARAMIE PROJECT: EPILOGUE, followed by another staged reading, GRACE, by Craig Wright, returning home to Baylor University, where much of "it all" began. 

And finally (I bet you never expected that to arrive.) ...

My many friends and I have welcomed your visit, your interest, and your time. We wish you all happiness and success in every part of your lives. Everyone within these pages has tried to adhere to the earlier quote from Winston Churchill. Hopefully, everyone reading these pages will always continue to reach for their goals; and when those are achieved, then reach even further for more.


  
Group shots always provide memories when looking back. This one is MACBETH at Virginia Museum Theatre, Yes, that's me in the middle, wearing a doe-skin cape. Some of the soldiers are wearing football pads or suits. Hmmm. In RAGTIME, we're all wonderfully formal, at the White Plains Performing Arts Center.

                                                                                                               ....and finally, another me, but don't tell anybody!
     
         And Above All:  May each of you be Blessed with a successful and loving year, and onward into the future! 

                                       
                ...and thank you for sharing your time!
