Paul and Matt and Acting

Paul and Matt were brilliant in the Maskrafters' production of David Ives' All in the Timing at Georgetown. This is a series of five one-act plays that are tied together with a thread of metaphsyical speculation about time; it's great intellectual slapstick. Paul co-starred with two other players in the first play; Matt co-starred with another player in the second, and Paul and Matt were the dominant characters in the hilarious last play. In it they were costumed in burlap togas and covered in real Kentucky mud; they played the unwitting builders of the Tower of Babel. It was a real pleasure to watch them play off each other with great comic inventiveness, much as occurs in the the kitchen of the Kentucky Eddys. Thanks for a great evening of theater--two actually, I went a second time!

Paul will be taking off in late June for a intensive six-week conservatory experience at the Atlantic Acting School which operates in conjunction with NYU. The program runs from June 28 to August 8. You can learn more about the program here. This is a prestigious program that Paul got accepted to by virtue of an audition. Congratulations, Paul!

And it was Matt's 20th birthday, too. No longer a teenager--and not a minute too soon.

So when does this production hit the road? Maybe Elliot Hall of Music? Long Center? Grandma's living room? Seriously, did anyone videotape it? I'd love to see it.

Sounds like a great performance. I wish i could have seen it. Congrats to you both, guys.

Paul, good luck at the Atlantic.

Matt, now that you're twenty, keep in mind that next 16 year old you're dating may end up being your wife someday, as happened with me.

I wish I could have been there! But what's the deal with going there in late June? That doesn't work with my plans at all!

So what are your plans, Max? Is there a midwestern swing in your tour?
