A shot at something new...

Today was an exciting day for me as I finally got a shot to play a different character than the one I have been portraying since we opened back in March.

It was a lot of work to learn and prep for the new character (Pictured below) but I really enjoyed getting to play a new character that is completely different than the normal one...it may have only been a one time gig but honestly I would love to play this other character again.

Unfortunately I did not have anyone I know here watching the scene who could have documented it for me in some form...ie, still photo or video...so this sketch will have to do.

It was a lot of fun getting to play the "Romeo" character of our show as opposed to the "Angry White Man" and I think some people had there eyes opened today that I am a little more versatile than they give me credit for when it comes to playing characters of all types.

New CMT Video Zac Brown Band...

I love this band and this song...it makes for a great video too! For all you Oregon folks if you are in the vicinity of Portland on Halloween, October 31st, then you should try and make it out to Duke's Country Bar & Grill as the Zac Brown Band will be there live as part of a fundraiser for Doernbecher's Children's Hospital...a great band and a great cause

It's been awhile now...

I thought I'd take a moment and catch this blog up as it has been awhile since my last post. First off let me say "Go Sox!!!" I am really excited that they managed a comeback last night and I really hope they can do the same in the next couple games and extend their post season run.

This month has been very busy here and it will continue to be busy until after the New Year. This past weekend was a special event revolving around the American and French siege at Yorktown. I had the pleasure of portraying a

member of General Washington's Staff, Lt. Col. Tench Tilghman. It really was a great experience to try something new and portray a different character than usual. I also had the priviledge of hosting a dear friend and fellow Hoffman Grad who came into town to spend the weekend and see what it is I do for living. It is always nice having someone who knows me outside of work to come in and visit. So if anyone else wants to come out before the New Year, let me know and we can work something out.
I'll leave you with a couple more shots from my time as Lt. Col. Tilghman and the weekend:
