New Friends



Well I have returned back to my place in Brooklyn after having spent a little over a month at the Forestburgh Playhouse completing successful runs of Javert in "Les Miserables" and Joe "Showboat". I have to say I worked with some of the most remarkably talented and diligently hard working group of young actors I have seen in quite a while. They all have this boundless energy that amazed me everyday I came into work. I watched them on several occasions rehearse a show early, perform a children's show in the afternoon, go back into rehearsal for a few hours, create an evening of beautiful theatre for very appreciative audiences, serve them food and drink, and then put on a cabaret all in the course of less than 24 hours . I often hear actors complain about work being difficult and although I'm sure it is I am in awe of this group of Forestburgh Playhouse 2009 Resident Company of Artists who do it day in and day out (with experience being the biggest form of payment). I know that any theatre will be fortunate to get these actors in there future casts. Thank you all very much for making my job easy!!! Until Next Time!!
