Waiting for Waiting for Godot AGAIN! ⏳

The Sacred Fools REPRISE Series kicks off tonight, with WAITING FOR WAITING FOR GODOT next Thursday 7/16 at 5pm PST

Dispatch from Oran... Hey... Been awhile, what's uh... happening? :) Things are a mess... Stephen Sondheim's PASSION (which would have been my first Equity contract in Los Angeles) was supposed to open at the Boston Court the weekend California shut down, but has now been postponed indefinitely... There hasn't been a lot to announce in the worlds of professional stage acting and cocktail making, and there's no telling when, or even if, that might change... sigh... But I do have a couple things to share, including what's shaping up to be a fun video reading next week... If you have interest in my daily life you can follow my food, drink, and home sheltering at instagram.com/hamletmax... If you want to know how I feel about the political world, with a side of Seattle sports, find me at twitter.com/hamletmax... In the meantime I hope you and yours are healthy and well... Statistically, someone on this list has either lost a loved one to this pandemic or they are suffering the ongoing ravaging of this horrendous virus:  I'm so sorry... We all deserve better... You're in my prayers... Take care, and love one another... - Jake The Sacred Fools Reprise series of video readings begins tonight at 5pm PST!  Click the photo for details on how to catch Madhuri Shekhar's ANTIGONE, PRESENTED BY THE GIRLS OF ST. CATHERINE'S... And stay tuned for details on Dave Hanson's WAITING FOR WAITING FOR GODOT next Thursday 7/16 (also 5pm)... Above is a screen cap from Joe H-K in our rehearsal last night, which was really fun!  It will be a joy to revisit the production the LA Times called "...witty... raw and revealing... an acid-etched valentine to actors, those intrepid aspirants who forgo an easy path for the strenuous and oft thankless service of art." -F. Kathleen Foley I made a press-kit-self-tape-hybrid demo of my turn as non-biological human Julian Barber in Thomas Gibbons' UNCANNY VALLEY at ICT Long Beach:  a "tour-de-force," according to the LA Times... Love to hear what you think! I continue to mourn the loss of PASSION... Here's a sample I made in case I forget how to sing... I did get to break out my grandfather's WWII Naval Officer's ceremonial dress blues, so that was fun... My desk is a lot cleaner now, so that's something :)

Of Mice and Men opens Saturday!

Preview audiences are giving standing ovations for OF MICE AND MEN at North Coast Rep in Solana Beach!

Nobody never gets to heaven. And nobody gets no land. - Crooks, II-2 Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper as Lennie, Jacob Sidney as George, photo by Aaron Rumley An American classic, the role of a lifetime, an incredible location with such gracious hosts, and a production on the verge of greatness... This is already one of the great peaks of my career, and we don't open until Saturday!  Hop the train (LAX>SOL) to beautiful Solana Beach for Steinbeck at its finest.  I'll remember this one for a long time to come.  I hope you can make it.
