I thought I’d never be able to find a video of Jordin Sparks singing “She Used To Be Mine” from Broadway’s Waitress. Today, my dream came true. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. It’s a story about self-reflection and recognizing one’s flaws. Sara Bareilles did her thang when she wrote this […]
Theater is my first love. I’ve been in over 30 productions. Some of my favorite roles include Scarecrow in “The Wiz,” Romeo in “Romeo & Juliet” & Buddy Layman in “The Diviners.” Here’s a clip of a show I starred in earlier this year called “For Colored Boyz:” As you can see, I am very […]
I cried my eyes out laughing at this. Ellen is a goofball. I may find it funnier than most because I come from the world of theater. There are a couple of basic ground rules to being on the stage: REMEMBER YOUR F***** LINES! Don’t Adlib (Unless it’s absolutely necessary) Ellen didn’t follow either one […]
It was dope learning about how Denzel Washington was (as an actor) at the age of 22. Even then, the most proclaimed actors were giving him his props. Recently, Mr. Washington was presented with American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Julia Roberts let us in on what one of his college professor’s thought about his […]
Even though I looooove musicals, the idea of Hadestown never sparked my interest. I didn’t think I would want to see or hear a story about the underworld. Boy, was I wrong. I listened to the album over the weekend and the music is incredible. I see why it was nominated for 14 Tony Awards […]
It’s not often that a new musical lands 12 Tony Award Nominations. What’s even doper, is the fact that this musical is lead by five African-American men. This is a big deal to me, because growing up… my dream was to be an actor, but never saw too many people on the stage that looked […]
I am a huge fan of theater! It’s actually my first love. I just wrapped a show last month called For Colored Boyz and have been in over 30 plays. I’ll be home Saturday night by 6pm so I can catch ABC 13’s “Bright Lights on Broadway” special. It airs at 6:30pm and will highlight […]
Ironically, Brennin Hunt was my favorite performer on last Sundays “Rent: Live on FOX.” His voice is everything. It’s apparent that he put all of his might into his performance, because he ended up breaking his foot. I was curious as to which scene it happened on. Check out the video below to get all […]
RENT is def in my top 10 favorite musicals. I kinda forced myself to like it. I fell asleep the first five times I watched the movie version. Lol Yes… I was THAT guy. But listen…it’s better late than never, right? The point is…I see how dope this show is NOW. Check out some of […]
I’ve been watching a lot of videos on youtube that deal with Acting recently. I’m going to be apart of a choreopoem called “For Colored Boyz” this spring so my world has been consumed with things related to my craft. I came across this old audition of Henry Thomas for Steven Spielberg’s “E.T.” that blew […]
I am excited to announce that after a 9-year-hiatus, I’m getting back on stage to tell a story that’s very near and dear to my heart. When I first read “FOR COLORED BOYZ ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN/ when freedom ain’t enuff,” I knew I had to be apart of it. Writer & […]
Theater is my first love. Nothing brings me peace like jamming out to musicals and imagining that I’m on a Broadway stage. I’m looking forward to Kempner High School’s production of Grease this weekend. Due to an emergency with their rigging system last week, they had to reschedule their performance dates. Here are the new ones: […]
