" ...Get five friends

I love the theatre for the
story-telling, the play-acting and the make-believe.
My influences and inspiration
are wide and varied: Ionesco, teachers Robert
Beath and Tom Ward, Cafe Cino & Theatre
Genesis(the off-off-Broadway movement), Shaw,
Peter Brook's Hamlet,Strindberg, Jungle of
the Cities at Intiman early 80's, Matthew Maguire
and Susan Mosakowski, Marat/Sade,Ingmar Bergman,
Howard Barker, Harley Granville-Barker,Robert
LePage, Brook's The Empty Space, Harold Clurman,
Max Frisch, Ivanov (RSC), David Mamet, Monty
Python, The Clash, naked women, Albert's Bridge
at the King's Head 1976, Mac Wellman, Nikolai
Gogol, William Ball, Sean O'Casey, Caryl Churchill,
NYC, and Sam Shepard.
I received my MFA in Theatre

Verano (Graphic Artist, Founder, (a)muse(d)

Having low friends in theatrical
places it was inevitable that I would be drawn
into its gravity well through a blistering
stint as ‘Mike’ in the first script
reading of “The Fall Classic.” My
appreciation for the determination, creativity,
and chaos of people involved in drama has proven
that my participation in Outsider’s Inn
makes for an inspiring, challenging collaboration.
I’m a self-taught artist—in
all areas; pen and ink, paint, sculpture, graphic
design, computer art. I make for a grumpy student
of new mediums, but compensate for that flaw
by a being tenacious and humble experimenter.
I have experienced life on
both sides of the Equator, and therefore, being
a mutt of cultures I find the mongrel nature
of upstart theatre a perfect fit for me.
