Acting & Singing Advice: Tips for Performance Artists, Auditioning & Casting Calls, Show Biz Networking

Panic! At the Theater

In 1999, I got my first leading role. It wasn’t glamorous: I played Gary, a friendless, witless dork who suffered occasional hallucinations. It was an adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s "The Double", written by David Escoffery, and the show was performed in The Pit.
