On Episode 4, Norman and I talk about beats and objectives and how important it is for the actor to have a "life" inside his/her character when they go on stage. We also talk about current politics (Trump and North Korea), shout outs to former teachers Don Freuchte and Fred Lee (Duke Ellington School of the Arts); Robert Sicular leaving the bay to work for Colorado Shakes; shout out to old friends Sean O'Neil (now a principal); and Reg's old friends Bob Zick, Travis Bedard and Michael Thomas Tower of the now defunct BayStage; and the recent death of Michael Lange (brother of Ted Lange, of Love Boat fame). We also want to say Happy Birthday to Julian Lopez Maria of the Berkeley Mafia. Also welcome back Rod Dibble, the 85 year old pianist at The Alley (on Grand Avenue in Oakland).
