Love a Good Reading

Participated in a very casual but very rewarding reading today of a
lost gem of a play called A Hatful of Rain. Some immensely talented
actors involved and our host/director guided the evening with grace
and purpose and brought together a wonderful group of theater artists
for discussion. Except for the ache that accompanies the suppression
of every urge to embody a scene, this evening's reading represented
what I love about a life in the theater.

Good Things,

MacLeod

PS lots of exciting updates regarding audiobooks on the horizon.
PPS The Independent film I'm in, Found in Time, is on it's third cut!

Excerpt from Monsters of Men

This is a book that I recently co-narrated with Nick Podehl and Angela Dawe. I wanted to bring your attention to it because I think it's an exciting and emotionally engaging sci-fi audiobook with full and heartfelt narration from all involved.

Enjoy.

Keeping Busy

After completing principle photography for "Found in Time" and the workshop production of "The Sunken Living Room" I have been keeping busy. Projects since have included: A reading at Primary Stages of "Besharet" by Chana Porter; A reading of the screenplay "Love a Nurse" by David Caudle; A performance at this year's Rattlestick Playwrights Theater benefit event called The Rattlestick Theater Jam; A performance tomorrow at Alivewire Theatrics' benefit event; and three more audiobooks. I continue to record voice over's for Insight Communications.

Furthermore, my brother is getting married and we just said goodbye today after his five-day bachelor party, WHICH WAS AN AMAZING GOOD TIME!

Good Things,
MacLeod

Indie Film!

I have just been cast in the leading role of an independent feature film called Found in Time!

Here is a link to the film's facebook page:

Workshop of David Caudle's The Sunken Living Room

Casting has been announced for David Caudle's The Sunken Living Room, to be performed September 14, 25 and 26 at 8pm at Theatre 80 as part of the Howl! Arts Project. Enrico Maria Lamanna will direct the production.

Set in suburban Miami, Florida in November 1978, the play focuses on an effeminate and studious 16-year-old who is trying to finish a book report for school, and the dysfunctional family who won't leave him alone.

The company will feature Brian Miskell (Wade), Macleod Andrews (Chip), Karen Giordano (Lynnette), and Laura Ramadei (Tammy).

The creative team includes Stefano Pirandello (lighting design), Austin Bransgrove (sound design), and Makoto Takada (costume design).
