Looks like i'll be accepting the part of Anthipholus of Syracuse in Heritage's upcoming Comedy of Errors. He is one half of the identical twin masters who happen to have identical twin servants. Rehearsals will start right on the heels of Lady's Not For Burning (which, if you check today's paper got a favorable review which apparently featured me in a picture but i have not seen it yet). At first i was a bit reluctant to accept to role because so much is going on right now but i spoke for some time with the Sheri Beth, the director, and she's really committed to working hard to make this production special and, most of all, fun.
It's been a while since i tackled a Shakespeare script so i'm sure it will take some time to get comfortable with the language. Plus its a larger role so there will be plenty of it to memorize. But let's not think of that now. I just have to get through tonight's performance and opening week will finally be over.
