February has been quite a month for me. I was asked to participate in the documentary "ENVY" as one of 16 performers each telling a 90 second monologue re: an envious moment in our lives and now this. Well hey, it's nice to have back to back projects going on, I believe it's a sign of things to come (looking at the glass half full? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?) It's a fun little project and my piece is being directed by my friend and talented ex-Theatersports member, STOMP performer,etc. Peter-Michael Marino. Hope you can make it.
