LOOKING BACK ON THE SECRET GARDEN

You know it's funny how things work out. I never thought that I would be doing this show during this time but I am sure glad I did it. Everyone was so nice and a joy to work with and I will forever remember this experience - not just because it was my first lead but for all the wonderful people that worked so hard to make this show work. Even though the show was a community theatre effort - the result was something a professional theatre could put together. I am very proud of not just my work but all those involved. I am very grateful to my director Jim Ward for casting me in this amazing role, my beloved Patti Appel whom I will work with ANYTIME and my pals Kris & Laurie for taking the journey to Half Moon Bay with me. Thank you to everyone who made the trip to Half Moon Bay to see the show. Closing weekend my friends Crystal, Maryann, Natalie & Joyce were there, my friend Kathi Duggan and her family were there, my mentor Debra Lambert & my Children of Eden director Greg Fritsch were there, and on Sunday my family was there - I was a happy guy.

Here are some backstage pics:

Archie & Lily: With my beloved Patti Appel (our third show together as a couple!)

Archie & Colin: With Connor Pope who played my son - a sweet & funny guy.

With my friends Kris & Laurie - I was so thrilled to be in a show with them OUTSIDE of school!

I love this picture!
