Now here's some good news!!

Dear friend (and star of my third film, For They Know Not What They Do) Sarah McBride has won the democratic primary for Delaware's single house seat. She's been an incredible advocate for the people of Delaware in the state senate, and when she's elected in November, she'll be incredible in Congress!!

Amazing Full-Circle Moment: In the fall of 1983, I was a freshman at Duke University, and I took my first acting class in this building...in 209 East Duke. Many other acting classes and auditions would happen in that room during my time as an undergraduate.

Tomorrow, we start a two-week development workshop of a new play I've co-created with Javier de Frutos inspired by two of my films, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO and For They Know Not What They Do. We will work with five Duke students and seven local theater artists, and all of our work will happen in the room where it all started 40 years ago, 209 East Duke on the east campus of Duke University.

A deep bow of gratitude to my dear friends Jeffrey Storer and Anthony Kelley for helping to make this happen!

OKAY, Research Triangle friends! The incomparable Javier de Frutos and I will be workshopping our new play at Duke in June and we are looking for a few actors to co-create with us.

Check out the listing and please forward it on to anyone you think might be interested!
