One of my faves was Magaldi in EVITA, years ago when the rights were first available. Directed by Mark Waldrop, who was in the origninal. Awesome experience and a privilege. (Although I was one of the shortest Magaldis on record)

My favorite role was in a small one act play called ADAPTATION that I'm sure nobody here has ever heard of.

Reno Sweeney - Anything Goes
Essie - You can't take it with you
(I'm currently in a run of "You can't..", and last night in the ballet lesson scene, my shoe got caught on my dress and I fell and slid across the stage, and ripped my tights, and my knees were bleeding, and I hit my face on our window seat....But, you know...got up and went with it...blood stains and all. Oh well, it builds character, right?)

I had tons of fun playing Annelle in Steel Magnolias (although I can't seem to spell her name. You'd think after staring at the name on the page for so long, I'd figure it out, but I think this is right.) It was a really fun cast, and because she's a complicated character, I felt almost like I was playing 3 different people.

Second Costermonger in My Fair Lady. The rehearsals were great and it was just so much fun being a tenor in one scene and a soprano in the next.

Cervantes/Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha. It has the most meaning to me as a person and as a performer -such a beautiful, morally up-lifting story...

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
