OFF OFF BROADWAY!!! HERE I COME!!!

That's right!!! I've made it!!!! (well in rehearsals for!) DUTCH COURGAGE-THE MUSICAL!!!! I was recently hired to be apart of the 9 memember cast (and what great, amazing men are they!) of a new show, Dutch Courage. It will be the first production for the show, besides a reading that was done in Austrailia! Its going really well, I am soooooo happy to be apart of this production, the director is great, the musical director (from Astrailia) is great! I so enjoy going to rehearsal all day, everyday! I have yet to have a show like this before! We open in 2 weeks, at the Wings Theatre, on Christopher Street. I play Jan/German Soldier/Nian all great characters. COME SEE ME!!!! Its gonna rock!

Here is a little information-
Dutch Courage is a powerful and timely musical providing strong roles for 10 male actors. Set in Amsterdam during the occupation of Nazi Germany, Dutch Courage brings a unique perspective to the historic occurrences of World War II, affecting its audiences with messages of acceptance, persecution and survival.

Based on fact, Dutch Courage is a graphic tale of personal identity, belief in the betterment of the world, persecution of minorities and the cement of friendship, loyalty, and the redeeming of the human spirit.

As Nazi Germany besets Europe a small group of resistance fighters in Amsterdam do their darndest to change the course of the planet. They play many dangerous games as the mercurial rules of survival morph before them. They were not Jews, socialists or communists. Not philosophers, politicians, musicians, or actors. They were homosexual.
