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.

Blogging Hiatus
Please read today's post on my Meta blog, which explains my recent absence from these pages.

Multiple Auditions
My wife and I audition frequently. We have yet to audition together—meaning going in together to audition as a couple for two available roles at once.
We are considering whether or not this is a good idea, and under what circumstances it might just work to our mutual advantage.

Making a Commitment
One of the challenges of marketing is the fact that you want people to sign up for your services but you can’t be two places at one time.
I have an opportunity in August. Should I cultivate it, or leave my calendar open for a more lucrative or more otherwise appealing offer?
Nothing is more frustrating than scheduling conflicts.

An Entry Each Day?
It’s a challenge to have something to write here every business day because plenty of business days go by without any significant news on the two-for-the-show front.
Part of the problem (if it is one) is that this blog is not a conversation as much as others are, but more like a log of events that may offer insight into our progress mounting shows as a duo. Until we have more duo gigs, there won’t be much to report.
Wish us luck.

Solo
Judy and I each have our own one-person show we play in our head. Someday they'll play on a stage.

Tipping Point
Not today, but one day there'll be a tipping point, a point past which Judy and I will take our show(s) on the road. Each day brings us closer to that point.
