THEATER

I have been involved with live theater in some form or another since I was little boy. I was a soloist in a choir as a young boy in elementary school in Canada, but it wasn't until after college in 1980 that I got on stage again. I have acted in only three plays, but that gave me the confidence to pursue music. That and the whole DIY/punk movement (see audio.)

I stopped acting, but continued performing and recording music for plays. I got involved in the design aspect of plays and writing the damn things. The bulk of what I have done for the last 24 years are poster designs and some set design work.
