Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were joyful, and not too turned upside-down by the premiere of Covid: season three – the Big O. Karen and I both got hit with Omicron (in spite of being double-vaxxed and boosted) in mid-December, so we definitely got some unplanned downtime! As […]
In addition to Thanksgiving, November brought three sold-out performances of my one-man show Searching for Tevye at Don’t Tell Mama in New York. I was so pleased to hear such positive feedback from audience members as well as the press. With the recent passing of Stephen Sondheim, the show has […]

Fiddler on the Roof is one of my all time favorite musicals. It is (of course) a classic American musical, based on the short stories of Tevye the Dairyman, written by Sholom Aleychem over a hundred years ago in Yiddish. What if you could experience Fiddler in Yiddish, the language […]
Well, it’s been just three and a half months since the cast of Cagney took our final bows at the Westside Theatre in New York. It was such a fun, satisfying run, bringing the story of “Hollywood’s tough guy in tap shoes” to smiling audiences over 500 times. And now, we are […]

In August 2014, I traveled to St. Louis, to prepare to play what is, hands down, my favorite role in all of musical theatre. Yes for the first time in my career, I had the privilege to portray Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, at Stages St. Louis! I said this […]
When was the last time you did something you really wanted? It’s 1975. A used car salesman, a dentist, a real estate agent, a financial advisor, a deli owner, and a teacher put their careers and families on hold to pursue their passion – jazz – with their first professional […]
In November and December 2013, I performed in the classic musical Show Boat at the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. Originally produced in 1927, Show Boat by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II is considered to be the first “book musical”, where a full story is told through a combination of […]
On September 14th, 2013 I performed in a reading of the play Manahatta, by Mary Katherine Nagle, directed by Kate Whorisky (Ruined) at the Public Theatre. The reading was part of the Public’s New Works Now Series, which features great new plays by lesser known playwrights. Manahatta tells two parallel stories of […]
In June and July of 2013, I was up in the Adirondacks on Lake Champlain, doing one of my favorite things – bringing a new play to life! Route 66, by Jerold Goldstein, Bill Squier and Fred Stark, tells the story of a cowboy photographer and an obsessive-compulsive journalist – […]

In May and June 2012, for the first time since I began my acting career, I got to work in my hometown of Rochester, New York, at the wonderful Geva Theatre Center. And I was “at home” in another way – the show I did was Stephen Sondheim’s Company, the show […]
In February 2012, I headed back to Ohio, with some of my favorite “good and crazy people”. I played producer Joe Josephson (as well as my clarinet and saxaphone) in a revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. The production was directed by John […]
In October 2011, I travelled to Ohio to perform in the musical masterpiece Caroline, or Change at Dayton’s wonderful Human Race Theatre. Caroline was written by Tony Kushner (Angels in America) with music by Jeanine Tesori (Violet, Thoroughly Modern Millie) and originally produced by The Public Theatre in New York, […]
In May 2011, I premiered in the new Off-Broadway musical, The Sphinx Winx. The show is a wacky misinterpretation of the classic love triangle of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and Marc Antony. I played the lovelorn Caesar, who apparently was quite the song-and-dance man! The show also featured Bret Shuford as Antony, […]
