Unker & Physia: Wet Spruce

12/9/2012

0 Comments

 
I make a quick "blink-and-you'll-miss-me" appearance in the fifth and final episode of Unker & Physia, a web-series created by my college friends Jessica Howell and Paul Guyet. 

I also helped out with some of the behind-the-scenes stuff for the show, like the fake sprinkler effect/carrying set pieces and props, etc. 

Check out their Youtube channel or Facebook page for more fun content!

Time Limit! (full version)

2/1/2012

0 Comments

 
This is a complete staged reading of the play "Time Limit!" sponsored by Times Square Playwrights and WBAI Radio. I had previously acted in this role less than a year before, at the Intrepid Museum. This time, we performed in the basement of a library in downtown Manhattan. The reading was hosted by Tom Thornton, creator of Times Square Playwrights. The parts with black and white coloring indicate flashbacks to a Korean prison camp during the war. In certain spots, not all the actors are in frame, so you'll have to excuse that bit haha. This was done in conjunction with a selection of readings from the Civil War, which I participated in, hosted by WBAI's Hugh Hamilton. I don't remember the exact date of the performances, but it was some time during the winter of 2011/2012.

After performing in several "cold" staged readings with the Instant Shakespeare Company, I was cast in a full production of The Tempest again, this time playing Ferdinand, the ship-wrecked prince. 

You can watch some clips from this 2011 show here: the girl singing at the beginning is Chrissy Sheehan, who went on to found the What Dreams May Co. (a Shakespeare group) with some other actors I know. Scroll down to read one of our several mentions in the New York Times.

During the summer of 2011, I participated in several "cold" staged readings with the Instant Shakespeare Company. The plays we did included As You Like It, Love's Labour's Lost, Double Falshood, Edward III, and Richard III. I don't know the exact dates though.

You can watch a scene from Richard III here, or scroll down to read a blurb about Edward III, which was published on the NY Public Library's website.

Time Limit! (clip version)

This is a clip from a staged reading of "Time Limit!" which I did at the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum Complex on May 16, 2011. The venue was an actual battleship. Below, you can read the original ad for this reading, which was published on the Intrepid's website. The play is about Korean War prisoners and battlefield trauma. I play a soldier who gets caught lying by his superior officers. The clip presented here is the climax of the play.
