I am eager to utilize this grant and thankful for The Chocolate Factory Theater’s sponsorship.

THIS & THAT travels to France January 2026

PLATO CAVES CHILDREN’S SHOW IS SUNDAY APRIL 20th at 2pm @ THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY IN QUEENS. LINK BELOW! *TICKETS ARE FREE

New York’s Production of BLUE MAN GROUP has closed. My last show was Feb 2, 2025. I’m grateful for every moment of the last 13 years spent with them. Maybe one day I’ll get to don the bald cap again.

CULTURE OF BATHING Variety Show Tuesday Jan 14th I’ll be performing live foley and hand shadows. This event is open to the public and tickets include Bathe-Around Pass! CLICK FOR TIX

WINTER 2024/2025 besides performing with BLUE MAN GROUP I’ll be slowing down to savor music making. I’ll also be in the jewelry studio carving away.

Open Throat Dir by Caitlin Ryan O’Connell opens Thursday 7/11 on Little Island. I’m in the ensemble, live foley and hand shadows. I don’t think a book has leapt to the stage faster than Henry Hoke’s.

April/May = Hand Shadow Gigs with ArtBath & Pretty Polly’s Freak Show & Solar Cooking for The Chocolate Factory Theater’s 2nd Annual Mother’s Day Block Party (despite the rain clouds!)
