Oh boy, here we go. So -- Remember how I have a Theatre Company? Well, from the cast of Titus Andronicus was born a sister company to Full Contact Theater, of which I am a founding member. Now, you might be thinking; Why two companies? Isn't that complicated? And the truth is yes, yes it is. It's a lot. But each company has its own spirit and seperate artistic goals, both of which I very much want to be a part of. Which is why I find myself a proud parent of two theatre companies. I will work just as passionately for each, and dedicate as much as I can to each. (FCTC is currently quiet until this fall, and WWP is buzzing with a play that I am production managing).

That being said...what is this strange new company. Well, we are Wax Wings Productions. We are a couple of passionate theatre fiends seeking to "hold the mirror up to nature" as it were. Basically, we are all fascinated with the rise and decline of human experiences, emotions, reactions, and so forth. The name 'Wax Wings' is derived from the Greek myth of Icarus. Basically, a father son tale in which Icarus and his father try to escape their imprisonment in King Minos' palace. Icarus' father fashions himself and his son a pair of wings made from wax. He instructs his son not to fly too close to the sun or sea; but of course, overcome with the joy of flight, Icarus flies too close to the sun and his wings melt plunging him into the sea. This myth represents for us the rise and extreme joy of humanity and the subsequent decline of the same.

Right now, as I have said we are hard at work on The Last Days of Judas Iscariot by Stephen Adly Giurgis. It opens Saturday March 24th 7pm , and runs Sunday March 25th 2pm. Wednesday March 28th 7pm, Friday March 30th 7pm, Saturday March 31st, 7pm, and Sunday April 1st 2pm. I'm the Production Manager and couldn't be more thrilled for the production. It's going to be a wonderful show, and we are working now to raise funding for it. To donate, please click here.

I'll be sure to delve more into the world of running theatre companies, and I hope to have many more stories to share with our upcoming projects!

Best,
