LIKENESS - What's next...

So that's what's next...It may not be Tahiti, but directing is directing...

For everyone who hasn't heard, I'm directing again. Right after In The Ebb, I got a call about Manhattan Theatre Source's playwriting festival: InGenius. They were looking for directors so I threw my hat in the ring. And, lo and behold, I was chosen to direct and co-produce a full length play called Likeness. Written by David Caudle, www.davidcaudle.org, the play is about a painter and his subject in Colonial Boston. I'll soon be posting details on the GTTP website, but, in the meantime, know that production has begun on the New York debut of this really beautiful, remarkably modern, period piece about the artistic struggle, and truth and beauty, and freedom and revolution, and the lofty ideals upon which a nation, (namely ours) was formed. We will open January 9th for an 8 performance run and whenever I have time I will post updates on the process here.
