My Current Project
Washington Stage Guild presents

When an escaped slave shows up at Fort Monroe demanding sanctuary, General Benjamin Butler is faced with an impossible moral dilemma—follow the letter of the law or make a game-changing move that could alter the course of U.S. history?
“[BEN BUTLER is] part comedy, part historical drama and part biography, often all at once…Just call it splendid.” —The New York Times. “…simultaneously thought-provoking and sidesplitting.” —TheaterMania.com. “…an extraordinary, artful script…spirited, intense, often humorous dialogue makes this show completely captivating…a significant piece of theater and a timeless exploration of social conscience and individual responsibility.” —BroadwayWorld.com.
I play Confederate Major John B. Cary, sent by his superiors to demand the return of the escaped slave.
Directed by Kasi Campbell, with Stephen Patrick Martin, T.L. Sapp, Yury Lomakin and Steven Carpenter
