I must be in actor hell. Well, maybe not that bad. But, seriously, sometimes the things we actors do! Here’s the deal. I work from time-to-time offstage in live training simulations for businesses. Many companies want to train their employees in a variety of different situations that are as close to a real-life experience as they can get…
Just got the notice. We are officially postponed. Rescheduled performance date and time is TBA. Evidently the parking lot at the venue only has a few spaces plowed, and the side streets leading to it are still difficult to travel. It is probably prudent to ensure that no actors – or audience members for that…
Although – due to the recent inclement weather and continuing snow-laden roads – this reading may be postponed, we are tentatively set to go with Misfortune of Kings as part of The Playwright’s Forum New Play Reading Series on Monday, February 22. Details are all here in the flyer below!
One more from being a shut-in for a few days. Vineyard: Stone Cellars Wine: Chardonnay Vintage: 2008 Appellation: California Price: $12.49 (Magnum) Notes: Heavy duty apple aromas with apple and lemon flavors on the palate. When I paired it with a meal, I found a pleasing addition of spiced peaches. Good acidity with medium viscocity. It is simple, approachable, and…
As an actor, I do a fair amount of voiceover/narration as well. Yes, that’s acting! But of a very specific kind as it takes an additional set of skills beyond being able to inhabit a character (or in most cases, characters – plural). Right now I’m in the thick of my latest book narration – Fool’s Experiments…
Earlier this month I recorded songs for the “cast album” of the new children’s musical “The Dancing Princesses.” The play is loosely based on the well-known fairy tale with book by Allyson Currin and music & lyrics by Chris Youstra. It was developed in conjunction with the children’s theatre “Imagination Stage” in Bethesda, MD where it will…
I did it! I signed up as an eBay seller and listed 3 LP’s. These are a few more of the “oldies” that my parents gave me from their record collection. This is a new experience – having only bought something on eBay once. I have friends who have listed stuff there with success. So…
I have been performing a show of all Latin and Latin-inspired music called Joe Peck: Noche Caliente! over the last couple of months. It debuted on 12/5/09 at the Bethesda Theatre (yet another day of snow). And we also had a great time at the Arts Club of Washington last month. Here are some clips…
Last night – since I was shut-in due to the crazy weather – I recorded a few LP’s that used to be in my parent’s collection. While they aren’t necessarily going to make my favs, it was a kick to hear Burl Ives, the Ray Coniff singers, and especially a “Musical Scrapbook of Germany.” Funny…
Here it is! My first post on the new blog. We can thank the spate of snow storms on the East Coast for bringing this blog from a kernel of an idea into reality. What will this blog be about? Well, I expect to share developments, happenings, thoughts, etc. that occur as I encounter them…
