Thank you for a spectacular run of Thomas is Titanic as a part of the Capital Fringe Festival.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my first solo trek out of my home base of Philadelphia.

My heart goes out to you DC. Thanks for a great run and I look forward to coming back.

Tonight I have my 3rd performance. I hope they good reviews will keep bringing people out.

My performance is pretty early today: 6:30pm. I usually can’t imagine that as a time to see a show…but lets hope others do. haha.

Also here is another nice review:

“Choinacky was captivating” and the show is “fresh and touching.”

This is the last week of the festival so catch Thomas is Titanic by Sunday!

Packed, sweaty, and epic.

Really responsive crowd, which excites me for my opening on the 20th.

Back in rehearsal

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 18:19:40 -0400

Yesterday, THOMAS IS TITANIC got back into the studio.

This was actually the only time that all five people involved in the production will be in the same room together. Myself with Justin Jain (directing), Leah Walton (AD), Maria Shaplin (LD), and Laura Cividanes (SM).

I have to be performance worthy by the 6th of July as Justin heads out of town, and Leah takes the horns. Laura the Stage Manager is based in DC and we will not see her again until we are down in DC.

Also, if you haven’t heard THOMAS IS TITANIC received a grant!

Read all about it!

As I near going full steam ahead into Thomas is Titanic, there is one pit stop along the way.

Another work of mine. aka: Shameless self promotion.

Off the Chain, as a part of SoLow Festival

I am exploring a bunch of new things, particularly with a focus on dance and movement (which is new for me). Originally to be a solo about bicycle riding for me, through our collaboration it is now a duet with the choreographer Scott McPheeters. Check it!
