exciting news! ...new theatrical doings...

The big news for me is that Insignificant Others returns to the stage at Yerba Buena Center’s “Zeum” Theatre, in the heart of San Francisco’s Arts District. This Jay Kuo musical (directed by yours truly) roars back bigger and better than ever, with a live band and expanded cast. Don’t miss the must-see hit show of the summer!

Before that, I'm directing a new production of Jekyll & Hyde at the Palo Alto Players. This show opens on April 28th and promises to be a fun new version of this popular musical! I'm really excited to get started. We've assembled a great cast of 23 people, a terrific production team and musical director, Matthew Mattei will be conducting a 10 piece orchestra for this lavish production.

My website has been updated a bit (about time). Tightened up some things and changed some of the images. Let me know what you think!



Happy "Presidents' Day Weekend" - buy a mattress (isn't that what we're supposed to do?) or a truck or something.

Get out and see some theatre. Yeah, that's the ticket. - George

More Auditions (plus that beautiful boat!)

We had auditions for Jekyll & Hyde which I'm directing at Palo Alto Players (performances are April 28 thru May 13 - mark your calendar and buy tickets www.paplayers.org) and they were great. Such a huge turn out. Casting is never easy and made even more difficult when so many talented people turn out. We've got a very exciting cast and rehearsals start in a few weeks.

(just had to put in that photo of the boat!)

I'll be directing a new production of L. Jay Kuo's hit romantic musical comedy, Insignificant Others. The auditions on Feb 18-19 are nearly full. Don't miss your chance to come out for this show! ISO will play at the Zeum Theatre in Yerba Buena from July 13 through the end of August with a possible extension and will be a featured show at the SF Theatre Festival.
