"AND THE WORLD GOES 'ROUND" BABY!!!

What a day! It was one of those days I'll always remember, because of the great news I received today. I have been cast in Bus Barn Stage Company's upcoming production of And The World Goes 'Round. I have wanted to do this show for years now!! I know a lot of actors who have worked at Bus Barn before and speak nothing but wonderful things of the company. I feel honored & proud to be making my debut there. I look forward in meeting and working with my new fellow company of acclaimed actors and getting the chance to work again with my fellow Sweeney cast mate Jennifer Oku and of course finally getting the opportunity to work with the talents of director Barbara Cannon and musical director Mark Hanson. I'm over the moon thrilled!!! AND As if that wasn't enough, I read an advance copy of critic Judy Richter's review of our production of Sweeney and it was a rave! She is a critic whose opinion I have always respected and to read her praise for me and my fellow actors, pushed the joy level to a maximum and brought me to tears. I don't usually cry unless something's really wrong, so to be able to cry for joy is a wonderful thing. My family loved seeing the show last week and I can't wait to go back to the theatre on Thursday and continue to play this delicious role.

I want to send a big kiss (MWAH!) to my friends at Sweeney who were nothing less than angels through this audition process for this new show, always encouraging me and sending positive thoughts my way. As Fraulein Schneider would say to Herr Schultz in Cabaret...."I am overwhelmed." I am indeed.

With love & joy,

Martin

P.S. Remember: - Sweeney closes on March 13 - DON'T MISS IT!!!
