The Prince and the Pauper; The Ritz Theatre Summer of 2007


I played the Prince naturally! I actually was offered the role at my TAGP auditions by Bruce Curless the Artistic Director of the The Ritz Theatre. I had done four shows at the Ritz and when Bruce saw me after the audition in the bathroom he offered me the role right then and there. The show opened July 20th 2007 at the Ritz and the last show was August 10th at the Dell in Camden an out side theatre. I had performed the last show of Ain't Misbevain' there 3 years earlier. I love that space! The cast was Kim Valde (Bruce's wife), Denny Pompenelle and Brenda Dribben. We had a blast doing this show and the kids loved it. My next show was like being called up to the Majors. I was ready!
