A Purimshpiel! A Purimshpiel! When I saw the audition notice for an ensemble that plays multiple characters and sings Manhattan Transfer-Style harmonies with Mel Brooks humor, I knew this was for me.
I'll be doing all that and more in ESTHER IN THE SPOTLIGHT, by Rich Orloff. It will be performed at Romemu in Manhattan on March 16, 2022.

The audio adaptation of Presence, The Play was released on 12/28/2021 from Blackstone on Audible and I voice three characters, including a Mockingbird.
It was written by William E. Jefferson and produced at Radio Waves Studios in NYC. Here’s the summary from Amazon: Presence, the Play offers a penetrating perspective on the vital role personal presence plays in the essence of life. This timely, captivating novel speaks to a growing hunger for a way of life that’s real and tangible, the opposite of an artificial existence lived in a realm of mediated connectivity.
The protagonist of Presence, the Play is a playwright and monk named Script who lives on the Isle of Estillyen. On the opening night of Presence, Script’s long-awaited play, he suffers a devastating fall in the theatre balcony and lapses into a prolonged coma. The novel plays out in Script’s comatose state.
Presence, the Play offers a meticulously crafted storyline evoking the imaginative prose of J. R. R. Tolkien, the spirited perception of C. S. Lewis, and the dramatic flair of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Readers will join Script on an epic mission to save the Isle of Estillyen from the forces of darkness, experiencing many daunting adventures along the way.
