Then There Were Two

Welcome!

This blog is an opportunity for my wife and I to promote ourselves as an acting duo. We are proud members of Actors' Equity Association, the union of professional actors, grateful to our producers and audiences for decades of work in theatre.

We've had many wonderful opportunities to appear together onstage both in the United States and Germany, from straight plays like Brighton Beach Memoirs, to cabarets and musicals, appearing as Golde and Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof".

We've been especially privileged to appear together in productions of "The Guys," and it was this experience that inspired us to create this blog and to explore the possibility of mounting this show in schools and for civic groups.

So many actors work so infrequently, the plot of successes and rejections is a drama in itself. We invite you to follow our progress on this blog. Wish us luck!

If you can help us on our quest, let us know. If we can help you, let us know. These are hard times for most of us, and we need each other.

Once Upon a Time

Judy an I have so enjoyed various permutations of our nostalgic Once Upon a Time, a show featuring songs from our childhood, our parents' childhoods, and a few even from our grandparents' time.
