Recent Reviews & Upcoming Projects
out o' date!
hey all.welcome to my out-of-date website.
its my own fault. i owe my webmaster about a million dollars for hosting and updating this site. and the one part of the site that i can actually update myself (this page) i just don't do frequently enough.
that being said:
-the kennedy center national tour is over and i'm back in dc.
-i'm currently working on the university playwrights workshop at the kennedy center on a great little play called 'the death of the the doily' by lila rose kaplan.
-i'm will also be doing a staged reading as part of the washington women in theater festival called 'torch,' on july 9 and 10.
after that i'm going to brussels, amsterdam, and berlin for a few weeks!
after that, well, i just don't know. but i'll let you know when i do.

yikes! i fell off the planet.
hey all.i've fallen off the planet, i know. i know.
karin, this post is mostly for you. and everyone.
things are well, and busy. here's the latest:
- the kennedy center national tour of whoopi goldberg's alice is very well. we're on holiday hiatus now and hit the road again starting the first week of january.
- in february, i'll skip out on the tour for a few weeks to come back to DC for the Washington/Baltimore area premiere of bach at leipzig at rep stage. I'm really looking forward to this production and part and working with rep stage and a dynamite cast. That show opens in March and runs through the 1st of April, 2007.
- after Bach, i'll be on the road again until the end of May, finishing out the ken-cen tour.
- after that, your guess is as good as mine. at this moment.
previous news that you might have missed:
- had a great run in two rorschach theatre shows in a row, a bright room called day and the arabian night. i love those rorschach folk and am looking forward to landing in DC again so i can hang out with them. and do shows.
steering away from all that is theatrical for a brief moment, my sister is applying to college and my brother is applying to graduate school. i'm done with school.
that's that.
more when there's more.

the latest.
hey all.journeymen's production of an experiment with an air pump has two weekends to go. i hope you'll be able to make it down to the clark street playhouse and see it.
i've put some excerpts from various press outlets below, in case you need more than my word to come and see the show.
a "smart, intellectually engaging production"
-Bob Mondello, Washington City Paper
"the performances were...uniformly excellent"
-DC Theatre Reviews
"This new small theater company started off strong and just keeps getting better. Their latest is an absorbing evening of stylish theater which takes a fine play and gives it a superior production that enhances its strengths."
-Potomac Stages: A POTOMAC STAGES PICK
now, for something completely different;
i am pleased to let you in on my next theatrical outing in washington. i have been cast as emil traum and herr swetts in rorschach theatre's production of a bright room called day that will begin rehearsal in february, opening in early april. rorschach is a theater i've been itching to work with and am looking forward to this piece. i am also a huge tony kushner fan, and this being his first published play, all the more exciting.
bright room will also afford me the opportunity to once again share the stage with the talented miss lindsay allen - also a massachusetts native and a spectacular actor. she, too, can be seen in air pump... so there's another reason to come!
some auditions and things in the works. will keep you up-to-date as things happen.
till then.
matt.
