Learn more about Gruesome Playground Injuries (opening June 6 at Second Thought Theatre) with our badass director Joel Ferrell in this behind the scenes conversation.

The video was produced by Second Thought in collaboration with lupo blu, who designed this site and put together my reel.

This summer will be Gruesome, Broken, and Nightmarish -- in the best possible ways!

It kicks off with Rajiv Joseph's hilarious, stomach-turning, and heartbreaking Gruesome Playground Injuries with Second Thought Theatre in Dallas, Texas. Directed by Joel Ferrell (Dallas Theater Center's Cabaret, Dividing the Estate, Red among many others), this production of Gruesome is one you don't want to miss.

In July, my new short play Broken Water will premiere as a part of The Network's Annual One Act Festival. Check back for more information in the coming weeks!

And in August, I'll appear as Demetrius in the world premiere of The Nightmare 'Dream', Neal Freeman's ingeniously funny mashup of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Dracula, in the 2013 New York Fringe Festival, along with several cast members from 2010's world premiere of Candide, also directed by Neal. This show will turn any ideas you have of Shakespeare or horror on their heads!

Congratulations to everybody involved in last spring's "The Whipping Man" -- The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram just named it one of the best shows of the year, an accolade very much deserved by the fantastic creative and production team. One of my fondest memories as an actor.

(The main photo on the site is from this Circle Theatre production. It's a brilliant play, but the incredible artists involved made it something really special to be a part of.)

For Kayleen and Doug, whose propensity for injuries connect the two in an unexpected way, the bond of blood is forever. Gruesome Playground Injuries is a fresh, witty reflection of a 30 year friendship and the complicated truth of growing up.
