Having not been able to shake the acting bug yet, December 1999 marked my third appearance on a Spanish stage when I appeared as Bernard Marx in Twelve x Twelve Theatre Co.’s production of Brave New World. Now you might be saying, “I didn’t know that was a play!” Well, it isn’t. That is, it wasn’t until we took Aldus Huxley’s book and wrote ourselves a little script. This was the first time I had ever adapted a play from a book before and I truly enjoyed the experience. I learned a lot as we went through the whole process of reading, writing, editing, work shopping, rewriting, and always playing. Plus I had the opportunity to work with the same director and a bunch of the same actors as my last show which was a definite bonus. What we came up with was a piece of physical theater which means that not only were the scenery and costumes minimal, but there were a lot of acrobatics and gymnastics involved. If we needed an Alpha Plus decanting incubator, we didn’t build one out of wood or metal (as if we could); we used our bodies and our imaginations. The show was a week-long success even though I started our run with a pretty bad cold (something to do with standing outside half-naked with my flat mates at 8am on a crisp winter’s morning). I say “success” because so say the critics, our public, our hearts, and my dad and sister Amanda who made it all the way to Barcelona from the US to see little ol’ me. My pop even bought a bar-b-que and four huge, juicy steaks for a celebratory dinner in my flat! He says no American should be without a bar-b-que. Now I’m hoping my mom will be able to make it in June when I join Twelve x Twelve again for our outdoor production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Heck, you’re all invited!
