MY LIFE IN COMMUNITY THEATER, PHASE TWO

Dave on the Stage

For a five-year period (1994-1999), I did thirty community plays before finally burning out. Five years after graduating from college, I auditioned for new productions. So began the next "phase" in my theater "history". What onstage adventures have awaited me post-school? Surf and see, readers.
