Friends

Chrishell Stause - Hometown girl made good. She was featured in SEVERAL plays with me throughout high school and college, including Barefoot in the Park (High school and still my Dad's favorite play. I think it's because we fed him.), The Importance of Being Earnest and Androcles and the Lion. I'm totally crazy about her and she deserves every ounce of success she has. - http://www.chrishell.net/

Matt Riddlehoover - Director / Actor / Pal, Matt Riddlehoover just directed me in Bookends, set to release...when it's released. He's also going to be working with Steven Balderson in his new movie, Watch Out. Go Matt! http://www.mattriddlehoover.com/

John Stephen King - a fellow 07-08 Apprentice at The Shakespeare Tavern. We've actually worked together in combat and text scenes, so we know each other pretty well. - http://johnstephenking.com/

Derek Randall - Derek is another 07-08 apprentice, not to mention my roommate. He's a great combatant, and I had a good time tussling with him in the Hal-Hotspur fight. - http://4thwall.9f.com/

Time Travel Theory - comprised of Topher Riddle and some guy I don'tknow. I know Topher from my time at Double JJ Ranch and Resort. He's a
funny, talented guy. - http://www.myspace.com/timetraveltheory

Arbender Robinson - I know him from way back in the day, when I worked box office at Heritage Repertory. So great, so talented...his "I, Who Have Nothing" will make you weep. - http://www.arbender.com/

Peter Eldridge - he isn't exactly a "friend", per se. I'm sure he would recognize me if he saw me, though. He played at Heritage Rep while I was there and I was blown away. "Fool No More" is still one of my favorite albums of all time. - http://petereldridge.com/

Hip Hop Epilepsy is dank. Featuring Jacob Martin aka Tall Jacob aka Mother Juice dropping rhymes just as heavy and hard as when he sang his solo in The Lost Colony. - http://www.myspace.com/hiphopepilepsy

Sorrow and Songs - a performance group featuring Tia Shearer, my co-star in Bookends. Tia is incredibly smart and talented, not to mention driven. I strongly recommend everyone check her out. - http://www.myspace.com/sorrowsandsongs

Places I've Worked

Murray State University - My alma mater. You may be able to spot me in some of the past productions pictures. Maybe check out Fiddler on the Roof, What the Butler Saw, Our Town, Importance of Being Earnest (Complete with fake mustache) and pay particularly close attention to the sexy apparition on top of the stairs in I Hate Hamlet. - http://www.murraystate.edu/chfa/theatre/

Double JJ Ranch and Resort - A home away from home that has, sadly, dwindled away as I've seen people I love leave there. That doesn't change the experiences I had. Where else can you do stunt shows during the day and absurdist theatre at night? - http://www.doublejj.com/

The Lost Colony - As a member of the 70th anniversary cast, I have to say that I feel bad for the people who are going to try and follow us. The best summer I've ever had was here. - http://thelostcolony.org/

The Shakespeare Tavern - Original practice, y'all! The closest thing I've seen, in my lifetime, to Shakespeare's wooden O. - http://shakespearetavern.com/

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey - My first apprenticeship and one that is very dear to my heart. It's a lovely place to work and I would love to return some day. - http://www.shakespearenj.org/

Market House Theatre - A community theatre in Paducah, Kentucky. On stage, during The Outsiders, I took my first stumblings toward being an actor. - http://www.mhtplay.com/

Playhouse in the Park (Kentucky) - NOT to be confused with Playhouse in the Park in Cincinnati. This place gave me the opportunity to play some of my favorite characters (Tom from Glass Menagarie and Bottom from Midsummer.) Ross Bolen has done a great job of running theplace with a tight combination of artistic and business acumen, along with giving plenty of opportunities for first time directors and actors. - http://www.playhouseinthepark.net/
