woooooo I've been in a time warp! Sorry for the delayed post, where does time go?!?!... Well the play is almost over, it's mind boggling I feel like it just started. It's been a ton of fun working with a really great cast and a professional theater company. The show is now sold out for the rest of the run, and fortunately has had a good turn out thus far. Also living out in Northport for the weekends has been a blast, it's an extremely chill town.

I just got an opportunity to be in a short run of this iconic play by the man himself, Tennessee. I have a small role, but I like to think of it as one of the most important!

If you happen to be out in Northport come check it out...

Wow Radio City is massive! "I didn't know men could build such things," I felt like Russell Crowe in the Gladiator when he sees the Colosseum for the first time. Anywho, I digress back to the awards... It was really great to be in attendance of such a talented community that is so passionate about what they do. I was fortunate enough over the last year to see some of the shows that were nominated and it was motivating to meet these people in person because it makes it real. Like that these people exist and that it is possible.

Here’s a poster for the play I’m in, starting this week. It runs for roughly 60 minutes with no intermission. Everyone in the cast is really talented and the writing is great, and if that’s not enough to come see the show you also get a free cup of coffee!

I just had a photo shoot for an English textbook that will mainly be distributed in Brazil and China. It was probably one of the funnest/funniest shoots I've ever been on.

Last week I spoke at an elementary school on the importance of health and fitness. There were over 200 fifth graders eager to get fit! It was a really great experience to discuss some technical nutritional aspects for a starter foundation.  We discussed: food groups and the necessary energy (calories) which in turn would enable them to do more practical "fun stuff," exercises.

The May issue of Men's Fitness recently came out and there's a good power workout to include into your routine for increased strength. It's a quick workout (under an hour) and is performed once a week. Most exercises are multi-joint movements, which involve several different muscles and allow for heavier weight to be used, in good form of course.

Last week I attended Stephen Sondheim’s 80th birthday at Studio 54. Part of the festivities included seeing the new show Sondheim on Sondheim and it was like watching a virtual reality documentary on his life. It was really interesting how the show was set up and to see classic interviews about the legend that is Stephen Sondheim. He explained how different shows came to be and how certain songs either worked or didn’t. Then those songs were performed live, right on stage.
