I'm thrilled to be doing a show at City Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA, directed by Artistic Director Tracy Brigden. City Theatre is known for innovative work, and MIDSUMMER is no exception. David Greig has written a beautiful piece of theatre that's very loosely based on A Midsummer Night's Dream, by Shakespeare and James Joyce's The Odyssey. A play with songs is the description, but I play guitar on about 7 songs, and ukelele on 2, which I've never done in a play before. Randy Redd and I play two hapless thirty-somethings at a cross-roads in their lives who meet randomly one night and go on a wild weekend spree, recapturing the joy they thought they'd lost, and finding in each other a surprising match. It's poignant and funny and with only two actors on stage the whole time, a very intimate play. I hope anyone in the Pittsburgh area will be able to come out and see it. Runs May 9 - 31st at City Theatre. www.citytheatrecompany.org
