Welcome!
Is theater still necessary in our culture?
That's the question.
Is acting on the stage still a viable/interesting/worthwhile endeavor? Don't be so quick to answer. It's not an easy question.
OK, I'll give you a hint.
I think so.
But I'm not so sure all the time. I work in the theater. I usually make my living in the theater. But there are days, my friend, there are days...
My purpose here in blogging is simply to tell you what it's like to work in the theater - as an actor, a director, a teacher, and other other way that comes along.
I'm not going to tell you what shows are playing. You can find that anywhere.
I'm not going to tell you who's in the cast (unless they're my friend!) or what the critics say (who cares).
I'm just going to share my day to day with you.
If you're living in Chillicothe, OH and you're wondering what it would be like to be an actor in New York City...this is the blog for you.
So check back tomorrow. I promise to keep it interesting.
If I don't, I trust you'll let me know.
Peace,
Wayne Maugans
P.S. With all love and respect to Chillicothe.
P.P.S. I just got a phone call from my friend Sean Patrick Reilly. He's got a lead role in the play The Front Page at Williamstown Theatre Festival this summer. He's really excited. He should be. Williamstown is a big deal for an actor. Stars. Money. Stars. I'm very happy for him. Way to go Sean!!!
