Go West, Young Man!
saturday 5 may 2012
Well, it has been an exciting and busy couple of months. I finished up playing Launce in the Shakespeare Theatre’s production of Two Gentlemen of Verona in early March and was lucky enough to be offered a job working in a play out at the Old Globe in San Diego, June through August! It was perfect timing as this spring and early summer I was planning another road trip. I was so inspired by the drive from South to North last summer, that I thought I would try East to West this time.
