Pittsburgh New Works Festival

Deck Chairs by Bill Arnold

directed by Nick Mitchell
produced by Cup a Jo Productions

September 2016

Role - Mr. Harrington

This was my first experience with the Pittsburgh New Works Festival, an experience I hope to repeat. I auditioned more out of a desire to get involved so I could understand the theatre business in Pittsburgh better and maybe make a few contacts along the way. Overall, a very positive experience and I got to meet the author.

This was a 20 minute play about a sinking ship, stiff proper Englishmen and deck chairs. What more does a comedy need? We had four rehearsals, one of which was marred by the Police Raid unfolding on the same city block.
