We directed Platanos and Collard Greens which was a result of my first one man play: Shakespeare & Harlem. In the photo is my dog - one of the hottest undiscovered acting talents in the city. He produced the first offoff broadway play that I did after completing my Meisner training. We performed opposite each other in DayDreams at the Sande Shurin which opened August 8th, 2002 almost exactly one year after the world trade center was destroyed. Once we discovered that we were both Geminis we became fast friends and collaborators. He graciously volunteered to perform in the first Annual Shakespeare N. Haarlem Theater Festival we held December 1 - 7, 2003 where we unveiled the world premiere of the one man poemedy of the same title - now available for sale on DVD.
