After a short absence of about three decades, I am returning to the stage. I will be playing the role of Guy in Check Please, one of three plays in the Eagan Theater Company‘s fall one acts. Performances are Friday, October 7 and Saturday, October 8 at 7 PM at Eagan Pointe, 4232 Blackhawk Road. In this show, I go on a series of hilariously bad dates. The other two plays are Changing Rooms, a comedy about women’s dressing rooms, and The Dumbwaiter, a drama about two assassins waiting for their next assignment.

Advance tickets are $12. At the door $15. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Running time, including two intermissions, about 2:15.

I’m really excited to be in the play and think it will be a lot of fun.
