May 2012    

Well, so much for the little break the first part of the month!  I've been running from city to city with auditions for film, TV series, commercials and print.  The calm was nice but it appears to be over with. 

In film news, MTV has announced that the long-awaited trailer for The Perks of Being a Wallflower will premiere during the MTV Awards June 3rd!  Logan, Emma & Ezra will be there.  Things are moving along.  We have our pg-13 rating and US release date of September 21st.  I'll post more as I learn more.  The official poster should be out soon.  Until then, here's a great picture of Logan as Charlie.  I'm wondering if this will be in the poster...

The documentary is going swimmingly at last.  After two years of hard slog, we can see that we are making huge progress - in spite of all my out of town auditions.  There are still a few pictures to wrangle and a couple of bits to shoot.  Otherwise, it's all editing, narrating and music.  Oh, and a title.  We need a real title.

I have finished my edit on the sizzle video of our production of Chicago for the Renaissance Theatre.  It's getting some nice attention.  I hope it helps them get some funding.  You can check it out HERE. I also have a short outtake video from my rehearsals that is pretty funny.  Click HERE for that one. 

The dramatic short film I worked on, Dark Before Dawn is out.  It was screened at the Cleveland International Film Festival in March and the Myrtle Beach International Film Festival last month.  This month it is entered in the Park City Film Music Festival, the first U.S. festival dedicated to the impact of music in film.  There will be more to come, I'm sure.  I play Candle, the light at the end of a particularly dark tunnel for one desperate man.

Speaking (writing) of Chicago, it has been all theatre so far this year.  Always Pasty Cline was as popular as ever, then my turn as Roxie Hart (below) was very well received. I had a total blast.  What a great role and a great show.  Working with Neos Dance Theatre was a dream come true.  The first shot below is with Robert Wesner and Jurijs Safonovs.  They would make anybody look good.

I have a new project to fit in this summer.  I've been asked to sing with a Dixieland Band several times over the next few months. They saw me in Chicago and asked me to join up!  It sounds like fun.  I've been learning a slew of songs in anticipation of our first gig on Memorial Day.
