I am heading down to Guatemala soon. This will be my 5th trip, my 3rd to Village Concepcion where I volunteer with Partners In Development. They run a clinic, build houses, help out in the school, sponsor children and give micro grants to start businesses. My personal goal this trip is to launch a chess program in the small school in the village. Friends of mine donated money, I got 10 chess sets and a teaching board, and am hoping to improve the quality of life for some kids.

Look for news about Aida, and our various summer shows and workshops, over at www.moonlightproductions.org

I know I know its just November, but I am already booking Christmas dates! After a great run of A Midsummer Nights Dream at the Ipswich Middle School, we opened a great but short run of Brigadoon at moonlight. But as you may know, each December I do a one man version of A Christmas Carol. Bookings are well underway, and include a new and fun venue, a chapel in a graveyard! The Green-Wood Cemetary in Brooklyn NY, which is connected to the Brooklyn Lyceum, has booked me for 2 shows, December 20 and 21st. I can't wait.

Oh and I am going to Guatemala next week to study Mayan. Why? Oh you will find out.;)

We are working on local venues, so stay tuned!

I was on the set yesterday doing background work for the Showtime series The Brotherhood. Great to be back on the set! This weekend I will be John Adams for a gig at the Boston Public Library!
