THEATER: Red Velvet at STNJ

Theatre
David is delighted to be returning to the acclaimed Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey to portray Pierre LaPorte in their production of Red Velvet.

Reviews, Theatre, ,
David's current work at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (as King Henry VIII) received a great mention from Michael Sommers in the New York Times (October 24 print edition): ..."The actors portray their characters with conviction and vigor.
