And it begins...

In October this year I decided to write a piece I have been living with for a while, The Redemption of a Dog. I had already started writing it in book form, but thought performing on stage would be awesome. My hesitation was rather or not I wanted to deal with Hollywood facades to do it! I wrote the piece in less than 30 days. I knew it and lived with it, so I really only had to put the ideas on paper. What followed was a moving 2 act portrayal of bravery, pain, laughter, seduction and REDEMPTION. In casting I was shocked to see such good resumes followed by such poor acting. It was mind blowing. Most of my productions were in Seattle, where theater is as serious as food. So I was disturbed at how many people I saw who could not possibly be serious about their craft. In the midst of mediocrity, I found some absolute stars. The lead, Julius Verin could possibly be the next Denzel. Robert Joseph is as professional and passionate as they come. Almost every cast member auditioned and completely owned the part. Adrianne Harris is going to be awesome as Angela, the serious corporate queen that everyone will either love or hate. And Cherinda, will make you feel the pain of an abused woman who had enough and took matters into her own hands. Kalia Silva playing the love interest, carries such a fine line of beauty and passion.
