Assembling the cast of "The Clown"

Actors, Join Us.

Taking Down Set for "Dead."

Sad day.  We've gotten attached to Joe and Bruce and their sweet kitchen.  But now we're setting up for the next dark comedy, "The Clown."  Excited to get to know that cast!

Cast of "Would You Rather I Was Dead"

You guys have been a terrific cast!

New title for "Jumble" -- "Would you rather I was dead?"

At almost 7 minutes this dark comedy follows Bruce and Joe through their difficult morning at home. 

I (Laura) am learning so much.  Technically each projects gets a little bit better.

In terms of story -- it is fascinating to get reactions to this piece and others.  I'm always surprised by the many different reactions audiences have to my characters.  To me, my characters are always lovable.  My audiences don't always see it this way. 

Thank you to John Weagly and John McDonnell for lending their amazing voice talents for this piece.
