I played the lead role of BEN in STRAIGHT!
Meet Ben. Ben is a 26-year-old investment banker. Ben likes beer, sports, and Emily ... and Chris. Straight is a provocative new play that deals with fidelity, sexuality and identity in 'post-Equality' America. Funny, sad, sexy and surprising, this three-character drama takes a hard look at the moral complex of a generation that prides itself on the pretense of acceptance.
I played the roles of BRUCE (a Brooklyn “beefcake” with a gentle heart) & RICKY (a high-fashion, genuinely caring guy with a party streak) in THE TIES THAT BIND!
The Ties That Bind is a multi-generational story following the lives of a LGBTQ+ community from a pre-Stonewall era to the provocative landscape of Grindr. The past informs the present as these lives intertwine, each fighting to rise, to love, and define “family” in the forefront of raids, homelessness, the AIDS crisis, and the crippling grip of party drugs. Watch a glittering cast of outsiders strut their way through heartbreak and hysterical humor the only way they know how… one day at a time.
I played the lead role in BOY’S STATE!
BOY’S STATE is a 10-minute monologue, written by Scott C. Sickles, about a moment of regret, the nature of connection, and being a socially anxious teenager in Rural Pennsylvania, 1985. Performed as part of the Almost Adults LGBTQ+ Short Play Reading Program. Directed by Aaron Leventman.
