"South" photos...

Here are some more photos!

The show is going really, really well. Here's a photo of Captain Spar, played by the amazing Bill Tost [of "Fantastiks" fame for 20 years!]. It's an honor to share the stage with him!

"South"--A Nautical Musical--Standing Ovation Last Night!

Hello:

I am excited to announce the opening of "SOUTH"--A nautical musical. I am featured in the show in various roles including a crazy nun, a pirate and Queen of an island of lesbian cannibals. Plus, there's a big hairy spider that attacks one of the characters, a greasy cook singing an ode to his magic bone and lots of toe-tappin' tunes.

REVIEW FROM THEATERMANIA:
For those who appreciate creative, talented, off beat, poignant, funny, you'll LOVE "South"! The lovechild of Carmen Borgia, a quirky, hip, brilliant musician, with Bill Pace directing, it's no surprise "South" takes you on an unexpected journey. It's refreshing when a musical surprises you with a destination you never imagined getting to. Since Broadway has turned Hollywood, you need to go downtown for all the exhilirating original pieces, which "South" has aplenty! Not only is the writer a truly accomplished musician/singer/songwriter, but the cast is filled with top notch performers. This talented cast will impress in all the right ways. With Doug Skinner (Bill Irwin's partner-in-crime for years), Bill Tost (The Fantastiks), alongside Broadway baby Robb Sherman, Sadrina Johnson, Michael D'Emidio and Alison Davy you'll want to have seen "South" when it opens with the original cast. You'll be one of the cool kids who can say, "I was there when 'South' was in a 100-seat theater in the East Village, how cool is that??"
