Understudies are a HIT!

“At today’s performance the role of Judy Bernly will be played by…”



"The role of Madame Morrible will be played by…”



“The role of Shrek…”



“At this performance of Rock Of Ages the role of…”



You know the rest. It’s quite a big job to cover any leading role on Broadway. Between the makeup, costumes, and all the extra rehearsals, these understudies are in the wings ready for anything. I’ll never forget being at a matinee of Annie Get… Continue

The Indigo Girls are a HIT!



I’ve decided to venture into something off the beaten Broadway path this week. Since High School, I’ve been a major Indigo Girls fan. I love their sound, lyrics, and the fact that I can listen to them in any setting. Road trips, chillin, emotional turmoil - these gals have seen me through a lot. They’re the ultimate feel-all music for me. Maybe it comes from growing up near San Francisco?



I got to see an Indigo Girls concert at Summer Stages in Central Park… Continue

Laura Bell and Take It From the Top are a HIT!

Actually, it started with a concert in East Lansing MI of all places. Laura was performing at the Wharton Center, so I came along to sing back-up for her country stuff. The next day we invited all the local theater… Continue

Fire Island is a HIT!

Luckily for me, my birthday falls around Memorial Day at the cusp of the summer season. This was always a bonus when I was in school, because we got a long weekend for the holiday. This year a few friends and I decided to hit the beautiful Fire Island for a relaxing, beachy good time. The island is a to a train to a shuttle to a ferry to the beach. A great place to kick back and leave the city behind. I secured a great rental and convinced 11 close friends to make the journey… Continue

Broadway Dreams is a HIT!



To kick off my June, I headed down to Atlanta to participate in one of the best week long performing programs I’ve ever been a part of: Broadway Dreams Foundation Summer Performing Arts Intensive.



Run by Atlanta-based founder and producer, Annette Tanner, this organization gives kids an amazing opportunity to prepare for careers in theater and to perform alongside Broadway artists. This year’s amazing faculty included Diana DeGarmo, Eden Espinosa, Billy… Continue

Hi Paul! I know you mentioned that you are in pre-production for "Catch Me If You Can," which sounds wonderful. Who else is involved with that? I've heard things through the rumour mill but never anything concrete. Thanks and all the best with your future projects!
