Achievement Unlocked

Anyone who has ever worked on a play at any level knows Samuel French.  They publish plays in small, usable editions, which are nearly always the version of play you receive when hired to play a role on stage.  These tend to be the definitive working editions of shows and usually contain a bit of information on the first professional staging of the play, including original venue, cast, and crew.

When you read enough of these editions, and you see names you recognize in roles you never knew they played, you begin to dream of seeing your own name listed for some future actor to see.

When I originated the role of Adam Webster in The Psychic last year at The Falcon Theater in Burbank, I secretly hoped it might be published by Samuel French and my dream might come true.

Then, yesterday this arrived, sent along by the play's fantastic writer, Sam Bobrick, and his lovely wife Julie:

 

It is a beautiful, glossy edition of the play (much nicer than the usual plain blue Samuel French editions) and sure enough there I am listed in the preface.  Pretty darn cool.

 

Another goal down... many more to go :)
