May 8th-25th, 2008

i was just hired as MD [okay, musical director not doctor (though i play one on t.v. - he he : )] and conductor of the musical RAGTIME for The Manatee Players in bradenton, florida [near sarasota]. having played the despised character "Willie Conklin" in Diablo Light Opera Company's rave production in 2003, i am excited to be on the other side of the stage for this mammoth musical based on E. L. Doctorow's sprawling novel. with a book by Terrence McNally, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and music by Stephen Flaherty, i am thrilled to be working on a musical of such caliber and with a theatre company like award-winning Manatee Players. watch my blog for updates as we get into rehearsals and gear toward performance.

check out the incredible opening number of the show featured on the 1998 TONY AWARDS:

    About Me

    My photo
    NYC, United States
    A goal in mind. A vision. Daily steps to achieving the somewhat unachievable. A record of what is accomplished. Given FAITH that proceeding toward a transformation that will transform my life. Trust in the process. Chipping away at the fat while building glorious muscle. Seeing myself in a different light and gaining confidence beyond my wildest imagination. Becoming real. My reality. My Transformation at a cellular level. Using informed knowledge to change my life. For me and no one else. Giving to myself will allow me to give to others. Loving myself better so I can love others better. One day at a time. One week at a time planned out. To become months and years of better fitness for myself. Again, grasshopper, trust in the process.
