Second Summer

That's what is feels like. A second summer. Since Summer of '42 closed at Roundhouse weekend before last, I've had nothing to do but take a break. I've gotten myself on a slightly lazy schedule, going to bed in the wee hours of the morning and sleeping well beyond noon. I've explored D.C. a little, but the tourists are beginning to annoy me and I'm trying to reserve funds for my time in New York City. So without money in this town it's kind of pointless to go out. Instead I stay in and around my tower apartment and read and watch tv and contemplate my theatrical career, the next moves I need and want to take. It's very exciting but very scary at the same time.

I did get out to see Pangs of the Messiah at Theatre J near Dupont Circle. My wonderful friend Denise Castro hooked me up with some comps to the opening. Such a nice friend I have in her. The show was very interesting and I did enjoy. However, the dialogue in the second half became tedious, the unfortunate tennis game effect - bouncing back and forth without resolve. I high dislike that, but I suppose in some ways it is unavoidable. The actors were very good though, and it was very intriguing to see an Israeli-American collaboration like this taking life onstage. So for that fact I would reccomend it to anyone.

In other news, I have signed on for a role in a play to be part of the Capital Fringe Festival. It's an interesting script and I can't wait to begin rehearsals - this Saturday! Very exciting and very fast, so more on that soon once things have settled. And you will all have to buy tickets to see it!

My friend Ryan Cury is coming up for a few days visit beginning tomorrow. Hopefully the Independance Day traffic won't be too bad. And up to NYC we go on Thursday to meet with people and do fun things. Finally stuff to do after this ridiculous waste I've recently been! But I suppose rest is necessary. But now to work on this role...
