A Little History

A few weeks ago, Playwright Lee Wochner asked me if I wanted to come and read his play – He Said She Said – at a meeting of his company, Moving Arts to determine the selections and line-up for their upcoming October One-Act Festival.

I had read the play for Lee on the Porch of the Great Plains Theatre Conference shortly after he had written it. He said he had written it with me in mind and would I wanna read it that night. Well, those kinda words do wonders for any actor’s ego and so, of course, I agreed. We scheduled an impromptu reading of it on the porch after the evening performance that night. A pleasurable experience all-around.

As was the reading of it a few weeks back for the members of Moving Arts. I wrote to Lee afterwards and told him that if it was selected, I would dig working on it.

Audition? Wha-uh?

When I heard from Steve Lozier that they had selected the play for the festival and he would let me know about auditions I got a tad confused. Here I was remembering “written with you in mind”. Still, good to go in and read for the director and make sure I fit what he’s looking for, right?

So, I took my slightly bruised ego and headed to the auditions hoping to make an impression on director Ross Kramer. All’s well that ends well I suppose and I booked the role…

So, I am committed to my first piece of theatre in Los Angeles! Outside of the various theatre conferences over the last few years, I haven’t acted in a play since New York. I am looking forward with great anticipation to treading the boards once again…more to come…

He Said She Said by Lee Wochner
A fun little tale about a mechanic simpleton who upon headin’ to his local waterin’ hole that night discovers there’s more to life than sippin’ a brew and watchin’ the game.
