Statement

Played the role of the defenseless creature in Neil Simon's The Good Doctor (Camden Civic Theatre, June 2, 3, 9, 10, 2006)

Neil Simon’s vaudevillian tribute to the flaws of human nature. This series of quirky scenes is ripe with dark humor and philosophical whimsy. With the writer as our guide, we are introduced to an interlocking stock of characters who are as real as they are outrageous. From a sneezing minion who only wants to please his superiors to a scheming Don Juan who lets others do his work, what the people who inhabit Simon’s sketches share in common are their quick wits and a tendency to be their own worst enemy. The Good Doctor turns the mirror on the audience and invites us to think about the social interactions that make us trip over our own feet
