Friends,

Thank you all for welcoming to Oklahoma to my new job as anchor of Fox25 Morning News. That's how you got on this email list! You were a guest, are a co-worker, family member or a friend...  And if you come to this show, you'll get to see me in a different element, one near and dear to my family and my heart... Along with a remarkably talented cast of actors, musicians and technical folks. This rare production, officially based upon the quintessential American novel about the Great Depression, and the enduring power of hope in community, was a multiple Tony Award winner on broadway in 1990. Gary Sinise played the role of Tom Joad, and the truck, an iconic centerpiece to not only this play, the novel and the film - but perhaps to the United States in general, is the original: the same truck SInise and company created for the original production has been rented for this show, and is already on stage n Oklahoma City.

 

The cast is amazing, direction superb and the story timeless. if you can, I would be honored to see you in the audience.  This is my first chance to be on stage since leaving acting behind in California (a reverse migration on the Mother Road) so i consider this chance to be a blessing and a true honor to be embraced by the Oklahoma arts community. And of course - I appreciate you always watchingme on my day job - as Morning News Anchor in Oklahoma City! I do recommend you buy your tickets now for this show as it will surely be played to sold out houses!
