I hope that you're staying healthy and listening to all CDC recommendations. I have been holed up in my apartment creating a video project for Center Theatre Group. I've been working with my longtime-collaborator, director Benjamin Byron Davis. It's maybe the most amount of work that I've ever created in such a small amount of time. I've been writing, shooting, acting and editing a series of video shorts about an artist in isolation during this momentous time. We will be premiering it soon. I can't wait for you to see it!
At the same time, I've continued working with my other longtime-collaborator, my comedy partner Joshua Silverstein. He and I continue to do a live Instagram show every Friday at 4pm PST. We have been very fortunate to have some incredible guests on the show lately, including activist Sonya Renee Taylor and from Fitz and the Tantrums, singer Noelle Scaggs. We also have a slew of comedy shorts on our different social media pages. Check us out at our YouTube page or follow us on Facebook or Instagram. That's where the content drops first
And this Thursday, July 16th at 5pm PST, Sacred Fools Theatre will be doing a live Zoom performance of Dave Hanson's "Waiting for Waiting for Godot." If you missed the live performance at the end of last year, this is an opportunity for you to watch me perform directly into my computer's camera! It's a wonderfully fun three-actor show that I think will translate into the Zoom world! I'm excited to be sharing the "stage" again with actors Bruno Oliver and Julie Marchiano.
Stay safe.
Love,
Joe
