Opening night of Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy is coming up soon which means haircut time!  As for the rest of my appearance, I’ve gained back most of the weight I lost for Some Girl(s) (nothing motivates weight loss like having to be in your underwear for a page and a half), so I’m not as [...]

I’ve been involved in the development of a new play by Beck Lee called Subprime, which follows two dysfunctional, entitled Minnesotan couples on a NY vacation they can’t afford.  An earlier version had a staged reading at The Jungle last year, and there’s another one coming up on Monday the 22nd at Hennepin Stages.
Here’s the [...]

I’ve just started rehearsal for Joseph Scrimshaw’s Adventures in Mating, which will go to New Richmond and Washburn, Wisconsin, on Valentine’s Day weekend.
From the Joking Envelope website:
Adventures in Mating is an audience interactive romantic comedy inspired by the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novels of the 70s and 80s. YOU play the role of cruel fate! When the dysfunctional [...]

Quinton Skinner reviews Some Girl(s) in the current issue of City Pages, calling it “compellingly performed”:
Some Girl(s) hones in on lonesome men

You can find Rohan Preston’s review of Some Girl(s) in the Star Tribune, and while he was unimpressed by the script, he lauds the acting and the production. Check out the unfortunately-titled review:
Careless, calloused, perhaps clueless: Walking Shadow Theatre Company’s well-acted production of “Some Girl(s)” portrays the strengths and limitations of Neil LaBute’s script.
Man, this [...]

The Pioneer Press has published Dominic Papatola’s review, and thankfully, it’s another good one!
‘Some Girl(s)’ has sharp staging, creepy characters
Tonight is our Pay What You Can! Come on down to Pillsbury House for cheap theatre on a Monday night!

Jay Gabler’s review is up at the Twin Cities Daily Planet, and it’s our best so far.  He says…
The ensemble of actors onstage…in Walking Shadow’s searing production are as collectively compelling as any cast I’ve seen this year, in anything.
In the hands of Balcom and his cast, LaBute’s play is appropriately chilly but also heartbreakingly [...]

Playwright T. James Belich has reviewed Some Girl(s) on his blog, and he gives it “five out of five stars.”
Wethern gives a wonderful performance, oozing good intentions, and aptly portraying Guy’s inability to figure out how to connect to these different woman.
Each of the woman gives a strong performance as well, particularly Anna Sundberg’s fun-loving [...]
