The Mikado
On Sunday, Feb. 21st, I sang the role of Pish-Tush in the Princeton Society of Musical Amateurs' 75th Season presentation of this Gilbert & Sullvan classic. It was a huge delight to be part of "the community gathered together for the common and joyful enterprise of making music."

The Jazz Age
On Sunday, Feb. 14th, Princeton Theatre Experiment, presented a stage reading of The Jazz Age, a play by Allan Knee at the Princeton Public Library. The playwright together with Jana Robbins, the producer of the planned Broadway production, answered questions after the reading. The Jazz Age is the story of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda Sayre and Ernest Hemingway as they set out to invent a new world -- and almost did. Set in 1920's Paris, the play reveals the artistically vibrant relationship between literary icons that was also fraught with jealousy and betrayal. Allan Knee wrote The Man Who Was Peter Pan which was the basis for the film Finding Neverland starring Johnny Depp, and he wrote the book to the Broadway production, Little Women. Jana Robbins produced the recent staging of Ragtime on Broadway.

WE Reading
On Sunday, Jan. 31st at the Princeton Public Library, Princeton Theatre Experiment presented a reading of the play, WE, adapted from the 1921 novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin. WE is the story of a twenty-sixth century love triangle: a mathematician falls in love with woman not assigned to him by the state challenging everything he believes to be true about himself and his world. WE has been adapted for the stage by Fred Tumas, a New York-based playwright and actor, from the translation by Clarence Brown, author and professor (emeritus) of comparative literature at Princeton University. WE is recognized as the inspiration for George Orwell’s 1984.

Shockheaded Peter
