Time to Set Sail!

Well, here I am at the eve of my 18 show run of Mister Roberts. We open tomorrow (technically, today) and this entire rehearsal process has been wonderful. The cast is incredible and very fun to work with. I just know that the run is going to be great. The play is really good as well; there are alot of funny parts but there are also alot of touching and dramatic scenes. I kind of like that I’m playing a more straight role instead of just the “ha-ha funny guy”.

Here’s the information for the show if you’re in the Southern-Arizona area.

Plot:

Mister Roberts is a comedy about a cargo ship in the Pacific fleet during the Second World War, “a time in the world when courage counted the most,” and the men that inhabit her. Present aboard are the tyrannical Captain, the ne’er-do-well Ensign Pulver, the sage ship’s doctor, the crew, and of course the idealistic Mister Roberts. The Captain denies the crew shore-leave for months at a time, so they devise comical ways to take revenge on him while Mister Roberts tries to keep them in line. What happens when Pulver makes contact with a real, live woman? Will Mister Roberts ever get his longed-for transfer to combat duty? And what about that palm tree?
