Ah...the acting fix...

Good news to report this evening: I found out a few hours ago that I've been cast in RCC's Off-Broadway Play Series production of "Wit," Margaret Edson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play of 1999. It chronicles the experience of Vivian Bearing, a world-renowned professor of John Donne poetry who is diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. I'll be portraying Jason Posner, a young cancer researcher and former student of Bearing's who can't seem to connect with the patients on any sort of sincere, empathetic level.

I'm pretty jazzed about this, having not acted in a show for about 16 months now. I did step in for one of the actors in "English Made Simple," but I did the part via the God mike in the booth, and never actually appeared. In retrospect, I wish I had played the character on stage that one weekend, but live and learn. If nothing else, it made me appreciate the original casting and original blocking with which the piece was presented at the Actors' Forum Theatre in NoHo all the more. Also, I've never been a part of anything put on by the RCC Off-Broadway Play Series, and it's always exciting to work with new people in an unfamiliar venue.

I'll post the show dates later, so that anybody interested in seeing it won't have to wade through weeks and weeks of old journal entries to find the info when the show opens. I'll probably send out a mass e-mail, too, so if you want to receive it, make sure that your information is somewhere in the Guestbook.
