I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN!

So I stayed home from school today because I was feeling very ill (my gout and my throat ached) so I stayed in bed until 5 PM and I woke up to a number of congratulation e-mails. It turns out that I have been nominated by the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle for my work in Man of La Mancha. I am over the moon thrilled and that our little production received 5 nominations total: 2 for male performance (me & Louis Parnell), 1 for female performance (Cathleen Riddley), director (Jon Tracy), and musical director (Dave Dobrusky.)

The BATCC has opened up nominations to theatres under 99 seats which is a wonderful notion - that way deserving theatres that don't have huge budgets can be recognized for their work.

After years of doing solid work I really thought the critics circle just didn't care for me and I am truly honored to be receiving this incredible recognition of my work.

Yay!!
