I will be appearing in the production of "The Shadow Box" that opens this weekend at the City Theatre here in Austin. I play the role of Joe, one of three terminally ill patients, who along with their loved ones, must come to grips with closing the final chapter in their lives. While the subject may seem like a downer at first glance, the message of the play is one of hope, and enjoying life while we have it. As one of the characters states in the last act, "If I am dying, I must still be alive!"
The Shadow Box by Michael Christofer
The Shadow Box is an honest and frank play that won a Tony and the Pulitzer Prize in 1977 for it’s groundbreaking examination of the experience of death and making sense of it. The Shadow Box paved the way on the subject for other powerful pieces that fill the landscape of theatre such as Angels In America and Marvin’s Room. Representative of a breakthrough in both subject matter and form, The Shadow Box is the story of three different families and their journey with the touching and real experience of closing the inevitable final chapter in their lives.

Admission: General: $20, Seniors/Students/Military: $18, Groups: $15
Dates: Friday, Feb 6th, 2008 through Sunday Feb 22nd, 2008, excluding Feb 14th.

Do I qualify as a senior?
I doubt they'd argue with you if you asked for it... just mumble your answer every time they ask your age.
