NEWS AND COMMENTS FROM THE DESK OF WAYNE RICHARDS
For the brunt of 2022, I have studied a wonderful script by Mary Chase called HARVEY. Some of you might recall the motion picture HARVEY...starring James Stewart.
The play version of which I was a cast member for ALL ABOUT THEATRE PRODUCTIONS (in the Villages, Florida) is quite different and more deeply textured and layered than the film. I had the honor of taking on the role of Dr. Lyman Sanderson, a psychiatrist who has quite a troublesome day in this very funny story.
As an actor, I have certainly appeared on stage in cabaret and other works, including my own. But to be in such a well known and respected show, there is a strong expectation from the audience. The challenge takes on deeper ramifications.
I learned a lot from this experience and have walked away a more confident and more effective actor. Many thanks to the directors, set decorators, sound people, and make up artists that made all of us look and sound great!
I hope to work with everybody again!

Here is a special message to all my Southern friends down here. I do not get this boiled peanut thing! I tried it and I think Peanut soup sucks. Also...STOP PUTTING KETCHUP ON YOUR HOT DOGS! Also (for those in Europe) STOP PUTTING KETCHUP ON YOUR PIZZAS! Ok. I feel better now. lol

At the present time, I am booked for a concert with the full MORGANS MUSIC JUNCTION BAND on March 4th of 2023. I'll have further information about this event soon. I'm trying to arrange for a very special guest to join the show. I'll keep you posted!
