So yeah, I’ve always wanted to make treehouses. Here’s a cool, low material, low-impact one… it’s pretty much a tent you set up between 3 trees.
Interesting design, a bit out of my price range at $1350.

Voodoo Macbeth: Magic, Madness, and Murder
art, Plans, Theatrical ProcessComing up soon: I play Lennox in The Voodoo Macbeth with TACT! We’re performing at Gunston Theatre 2 in Arlington, VA.
This show is pretty cool – it’s like the original Macbeth, only with Even More Magic. Hekate’s a bigger character, and the witches appear more frequently, or rather… well… okay:
What I really enjoy about it is that, in our rendition, the combination of roles means that the witches are playing multiple characters. This leads to the question: are the witches the base character (the root of the other onstage manifestations) or are they a character which imposes itself over another base ( maybe possession, maybe inner id, what have you, take your pick…)?
For our rendition, the witches are not their own base, but more a state of being (to see how we get there, you’ll have to see the show!). What I love about this is that my base character is a priest. This means that the witchery he undergoes deals a good deal with a crisis of faith, with the question of prayer versus magic, and from there, the question of madness. What happens to him in the work, you’ll have to see to know…
I have had a fantastic building this character. I invite you all to come see me perform, starting the 22nd of March. Tickets are on sale here!
Thanks again for reading!

Mead Theatre Program Round II!
art, Theatre Business, Theatrical ProcessMarch 4 is a pretty exciting day. Nerve wracking, marvelous, exciting, horrifying. Kind of like an avalanche. It’s beautiful from far away, but the closer it gets, the more you realize, ‘man, this thing is a huge.’ And then it hits you.
an avalanche. serene. majestic. cataclysmic.
Now, for a while, March 4 meant the end of our Kickstarter. It still does, but that’s not all it means anymore.
Because as of two days ago, March 4 also meant my interview with the Mead Theatre Lab Program (aaaagh wahoo excitement blaarggh)
The long and short of it is, Jellyfish has a shot at performing at the Mead Theatre Lab’s space for a few weekends next fall, and in order to secure that spot, I have to have made it past round I and II. So. Very exciting. And a little bit scary…
Here’s the deal. Even if this project takes off at the Mead, I’m going to need $3k to finance it, most of which will go to actors and artists. So, if you want to see what the big deal is, help me get to $4000 raised on Kickstarter by Saturday at 5:oopm.
If you’ve already donated, thank you! You’re already helping. Tell your friends. Tell your families. Facebook it and twitter it. Pin our video, what have you. Because if we can get to $4000 by Saturday, I will make an openly viewable and comment-friendly google doc of the Immortal Jellyfish so you can all see just what is getting me so excited.

Less than two weeks left!
Theatre Business, Uncategorized
And $6k to raise. $4k to match our Kickstarter goal. I think we can do it. I think you can do it. I believe in you.
We’ve raised nearly $3.4k so far. That’s enough to fund A Bid to Save the World, and bolster Apotheosis, after online fees.
If we can match our Kickstarter goal, then Bid is funded, and both Apotheosis and Jellyfish get major boosts to their funding.
If we can meet our $10k goal in two weeks, then that’s $1k to Bid, $3k to apotheosis, and $3k to Jellyfish.
Our season will be fully funded by supporters like you. And most of that money will go right back to actors in the DC area.
So again, let’s look at $4k. For actors. For our season. For yourselves. Let’s do this.
Keegan Dances for $3k
