Bio
I was born into a middle-class WASP family and raised to believe that the 11th commandment was "Thou shalt not create a scene," which probably explains my intense desire as a youngster to become an actress. Upon graduating from college, however, I quickly realized that I was not prepared to starve for my art (I live for dessert, and that is not an exaggeration.), so I sacrificed my dreams of stardom for a steady paycheck. Eventually, I found my way to a career where I perform 25 shows a week for a captive (thought usually inattentive) audience of around 125 adolescents a day. Though to some, this may sound like hell, I do need and appreciate the daily lessons in not taking myself too seriously that this career provides. Fortunately, my girlfriend, Jennifer, thinks I'm a very serious person, so she makes me laugh as often as possible.
Favorite Books
Anything by Flannery O'Connor or Anne LaMott; To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, mysteries by Virginia Lanier, Susan Conant, or Lillian Jackson Braun; most of the stuff I've read by Shakespeare, especially Much Ado About Nothing; Blindness by Jose Saramago, almost anything by Tom Stoppard and Oscar Wilde; Sibley Field Guide to Birds, Six of One (even though I think Rita Mae Brown has some twisted ideas about relationships), How to be Lost, and too many others to name...
