All Saints Players presented a show of three one act plays, April 17-20 (1996). In "The More the Merrier" by Stanley Kauffmann,  I played the part of Raphael, a love struck guy, looking for a new start in life.

This was my second acting adventure since performing as "Freddie" in Somerset Maugham's play , "Mrs. Dot" presented by Dartmouth Players the previous year. I have had other experience with both groups providing sound and lighting support.

I played Michael Craig, a neurotic actor, looking for work, who appears at "Opening Night" looking to rub elbows with the theatre elite. "Opening Night" written in 1988 by Norm Foster; another All Saint's Players production; May 1997.

I played the part of William, in a play called "How the Other Half Loves", an Alan Ackybourne comedy. Guilty associates, trying to cover their own tracks, lie, leading William to believe that his wife is "running around" .  All Saints Players,  November '97.

Dartmouth Players entered the May 2000 Liverpool International Theatre Festival with Flo Trillo's adaptation of Shakespear's Mid Summer Night's Dream called "Bottoms Up". My role was that of Flute and Thisbe. Flute, a member of the bowling team, played the part of Thisbe . Bottom, performing as Pyramus, was played by David Ridley in this play within a play. We had acted together previously in Mrs. Dot. The play was well received and obtained critical acclaim by the media. An excerpt from the Chronicle Herald ...

Performances on the last day of the five-day festival began with a cheerful and farcical little howler from the Dartmouth Players early Sunday afternoon.

Penned and directed by Flo Trillo, the play was based on Shakespeare's own send-up of rustic actors attempting a classic melodrama, The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Deaths of Pyramus and Thisbe, which ends Midsummer Night's Dream.

You can't go wrong with this material, but it's not easy to go as right with it as the Players did. The audience, repeatedly convulsed with laughter, were wiping away the tears throughout the entire hour....

The latest play is a portrayal of "Culture Shock" experienced by a young Newfoundlander 'goin down the road' . Presented by Theater Arts Guild this April/May (2002), directed by Frank MacLean. I play "Lucien", one of the characters who enriches the life of the newfie wanderer.
