Starting in the present, I have been performing poetry shows in a retirment independent living home which the residents seem to really enjoy. I also recently performed at the Florida State Fair and at a middle school. I have been acting since my 20's after having studied at the Worth Tyrell Studios in Morristown New Jersey. Peforming in many community theaters I eventually went on to act in several play at the Bill Irle Dinner Theater and the Francis Wilson playhouse here in Florida. I love comic roles and always make my performances fun. Therre are so many comic poems from Dorothy Parker and Ogden Nash to sprinkle in with the serious stuff. Other training in improv and doing improv dinner theater helps me perform.
