Get ready for what will surely be a unique night of theater. On July 18th & 19th at 8:30pm, I will be in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream… Unrehearsed” at Zombie Joe’s Underground in North Hollywood.
The premise is pretty much what the title implies: We are doing a full production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” without any rehearsals. At 8:30pm on Friday, July 18th, all the actors will stand on the stage and announce to not only the audience but their fellow actors as well what role they are playing in the show. We will then quickly get changed into the appropriate costumes and perform the entire show for the first time as an ensemble.
As mentioned above, the production runs for two nights only: July 18th & 19th at 8:30pm. Tickets are $12 and can be reserved by calling 818-202-4120. Zombie Joe’s Underground is located at 4850 N. Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, across from the KFC.
I invite you all to come to what will hopefully be a funny, original, and entertaining evening. You can go to the web sites for Zombie Joe’s Underground or Dollhouse Productions for more information about the production. I hope to see you there!

As part of an effort to see where all that rebate money was going, an Associated Press reporter asked me and several others across the country to track in detail where each dollar of their rebate check was spent. The story has now been published and you can now read the results in papers across the country. Here’s an excerpt:
Derek Houck, an actor in North Hollywood, Calif., planned to allow himself an indulgence or two with whatever was left of his rebate after he’d taken care of necessities. It turned out to be more modest than he’d thought. When his personal finance software program showed him he had a whopping 50 cents left from the $600, he still celebrated by shelling out $49.95 for a new Wii game.
There are even a few articles that features one or two pictures of me playing the aforementioned Wii game. So far the article has appeared on ABC News, AOL, CNN.com, Examiner.com,
The Huffington Post, Google News (includes 2 photos), International Herald Tribune, The Kansas City Star (includes 2 photos), Knoxville News Sentinel, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Press-Enterprise (includes photo), Press-Telegram, USA Today, The Washington Post, Winston-Salem Journal, and Yahoo! Italia Cinema (I have no idea why this is here).
If you see the article turn up anywhere else give me a holler. I hope you are doing okay during this recession, and having an enjoyable summer. Take care.

I am proud to announce that I will be back on stage as Gunter in “Rapunzel” at the Glendale Centre Theatre. A handsome prince tries to rescue the beautiful Rapunzel from her tiny room atop a tall tower. However, a zany witch, three silly guards, and Rapunzel’s parents have different plans for her - that is once they figure out how to get Rapunzel down from the tower! I play Rapunzel’s father, Gunter, and also serve as the narrator for the audience.
“Rapunzel” is the first children’s show of the 2008 season at GCT, and runs every Saturday morning at 11am from March 1st until June 28th. (No performance on May 24th.) Tickets are $13 for adults and $11.50 for children. For reservations call the Glendale Centre Theatre box office at (818) 244-8481.
I invite you all to come see the show. I guarantee it will be just as enjoyable for adults as it is for children, and with an almost 4 month run there’s bound to be a performance everyone can attend. I hope to see you there!
