Some might say I lost, but you should see the 2x6. Got blood all over it.

Hopefully this turns into a badass scar.

Got into a fight with a 2x6.

Ka taea e etahi te kii i ngaro au, engari me kite koe i te 2x6. Kua riro te toto katoa i runga i a ia.

Ko te tumanako ka huri tenei hei tohu patu kino.

I haere ki te whawhai me te 2x6.

Flowers for Algernon

Já faz um tempinho, mas eu precisava falar: que adaptação incrível de Wicked! Confesso que não estava com a expectativa tão alta, mas a experiência foi tão surreal que acabou com qualquer chance do filme me agradar depois. Fiquei o tempo todo comparando e, sério, o teatro ganha de lavada! kkkkk 🎭💚

Estragou o filme

Kua roa te wa, engari me korero au: he whakamaoritanga whakamiharo o Wicked! Ka whakaae au, kaore au i te tumanako teitei, engari ko te wheako i tino rerekē, i pau i nga pea katoa ka pai te kiriata ki a au i muri mai. I noho au i te wa katoa e whakataurite ana, a, e te pono, ka toa te whare tapere! kkkkk 🎭💚

INTO THE WOODS

KI TE NGAHERE

Anyone like a good musical? The most recent i saw was Cabaret with Orville Peck as the MC, that man is handsome without his mask gimmick, not to mention where I sat, he really was making some serious eye contact with me, maybe I was imagining it, put pretty sure that man looked right where I sat and did not lose focus.  Another good musical is Hadestown,  I saw that 3 times in the past 3 years. Once in broadway, two others a tour

Musical Theater appreciation

Kei te pai tetahi ki te whakaari puoro pai? Ko te mea hou i kite au ko Cabaret me Orville Peck hei MC, he tangata ātaahua ia i runga i tana whakakākahu, kāore e taea te kī atu i te wā i noho ai au, i tino hanga ia i te pānga kanohi ki a au, tērā pea i whakaaro au nāna i kite i te wāhi i noho ai au, ā, kāore ia i ngaro te aro. Ko tetahi atu whakaari puoro pai ko Hadestown, i kite au i taua whakaari e toru ngā wa i ngā tau e toru kua pahure. Kotahi i Broadway, e rua atu i te haerenga.

Te whakamoemiti ki te Whakaari Puoro

I love performing, but an 8 week run does make harder to find time for dates. Show is King Arthur and Merlin (played by me) the melodrama

Kei te aroha au ki te whakaari, engari ko te 8 wiki e rere ana ka uaua ki te kimi wā mō ngā rā. Ko te whakaaturanga ko King Arthur me Merlin (i te takaro e au) te melodrama

Sometimes to cope with loneliness I go to the nearest cinema to only find I'm being the only soul to watch the movie. Is the movie that bad or am I just cursed to be alone?

Loneliness

I etahi wa, hei whakatika i te pōuri ka haere au ki te whare pikitia e tata ana, ka kitea e au ko au anake te wairua e mātakitaki ana i te kiriata. He kino te kiriata, kāore rānei e pā ana ki te kīanga e noho ana au anake?

Te Pōuri

Today was the first time I went to a show produced by the theatre group I started and ran for seven years since I walked away from them last October.

Oddly unemotional, but kind of confirmed that I made the right choice. They're doing well, producing the sort of facile, shallow, crowd-pleasing plays that I'd go crazy from boredom directing myself. A bit awkward meeting my old colleagues after the show--them asking me what I thought, and me admitting that it was fine, but just not my sort of thing.

I wish them well, but the itch is still there. I just have to find a venue and audience that will vibe with the kind of productions that I enjoy directing...

Visited My Old Theater Today

I tenei ra ko te wa tuatahi i haere au ki tetahi whakaaturanga i hangaia e te roopu whare tapere i timata e au, i whakahaerehia e au mo te whitu tau mai i taku wehe atu i a ratou i te marama o Oketopa kua pahure.

He mea raru te kore e rongo, engari i whakakitea e te mea i mahi au i te whiriwhiri tika. Kei te pai ratou, e hanga ana i nga momo whakaari ngawari, he pātea, he whakaari e pā ana ki te hunga, e pā ana ki te mea ka raru au i te pōuri i te whakahaere i ahau. He mea raru te whakatū i aku hoa tawhito i muri i te whakaaturanga--e pātai ana ratou ki ahau he aha taku whakaaro, ā, e whakaae ana au he pai, engari kāore e taea e au te mea e pā ana ki ahau.

Ka hiahia au ki te pai ki a ratou, engari kei te noho tonu te hiahia. Me kimi au i tetahi waahi me te hunga ka pai ki nga momo whakaaturanga e pai ana au ki te whakahaere...

I haere au ki taku whare tapere tawhito i tenei ra

How to say you're from Ukraine without actually saying it?

Me pēhea te kī atu he tangata koe nō Iukraine, kāore e kī atu?

What’s the best production you’ve seen lately? Mine was the stranger things live performance in London.

Your favourite within last 3 months

He aha te mea pai i kite koe i ngā rā nei? Ko taku ko te whakaaturanga "stranger things" i te ora i Rānana.

Shucked

Kua kite au i te whakaaturanga e haere ana o Shucked i te Whare Tapere o Fisher i Detroit. He whakaaturanga whakamiharo, whakakata, me te pā te ngākau! He nui ngā mihi ki te katoa i whai wāhi.

Solo musical theatre adventure

Haerenga puoro takitahi i te whare tapere

I thought about any actor who would play Dionysus, and I immediately thought about Adam Sandler. So, I suggested it to the director, picked out pieces that made me look like a grumpy, overworked camp counselor, and came up with this. Even after a few months later, I still think Mr. D was probably my best role ever.

That's me December of 2025. My big role as Mr. D in Percy Jackson the Musical

I whakaaro ahau mō tetahi kaiwhakaari ka tākaro hei Dionysus, ā, i te wā tonu ka whakaaro ahau ki a Adam Sandler. Nā reira, i tūtohu ahau ki te kaiwhakahaere, i tīpako i ngā wāhanga i hanga ai au hei kaipōti riri, e mahi ana i te puni, ā, i puta mai tēnei. Ahakoa i muri i ngā marama e pā ana, e whakaaro tonu ana ahau ko Mr. D pea te tūranga pai rawa atu i mahia e au.

Ko au tēnei i te Hakihea o te tau 2025. Tōku tūranga nui hei Mr. D i Percy Jackson te Musical

Back at my little local theater solo. I feel I’m a little old for the SpongeBob generation but there’s plenty of people here older than me. PS I made these pants

Friday Night

Kua hoki mai au ki taku whare whakaari iti i te taha kotahi. Ka whakaaro au he pakeke rawa au mo te whakatipuranga SpongeBob engari he nui nga tangata kei konei e pakeke ana i au. PS I hangaia e au enei tarau
