Keeping busy!
I’ll admit, I’m not the best blogger, but that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything.
A Kickstarter project, for Murders & Acquisitions has just launched. It’s a tabletop RPG, and it’s a lot of fun.
I did the video, and you can see it here!
Optimist Theatre continues its efforts in presenting Shakespeare in the Park free to Milwaukee audiences. We celebrated Shakespeare’s 452nd Birthday with a fundraiser. A cast announcement is coming soon for this summer’s production of Julius Caesar.
In Milwaukee Panther Arena news, the Milwaukee Admirals will be moving from the Bradley Center to the Arena this fall. Lots of prep work and an increased schedule for their season this fall!
The Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony was April 30th, honoring Jerry Kramer, Bo Ryan, Herb Kohl, and Donald Driver.
Finally, St. Thomas Aquinas Academy will be having a fundraiser on May 14th, and the video for that event (also to be repurposed for marketing) is nearly done. No link yet, but pending approval.
Voice Over, Video and a Side of Theatre
That’s the tag on my @pixelsandtape Twitter account.
So here’s what’s new:
I’ve been doing live foley effects for Hangman Radio out of Shaker’s Cigar Bar in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point. They’ve wrapped their first season (I worked on the last two episodes), and are currently Kickstarting for their second season (first show is now scheduled for September 27th, recorded live at Shaker’s.) Rumor has it I may have a speaking part, in addition to effects!
Optimist Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Park production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was a rousing success. Lots of great reviews in the press, great weather for our audiences (excepting only one night this year), and continuing to build on previous seasons. I’m proud to say I designed the poster and program art for The Dream. Thanks to Shayne Steliga (Lysander) for being a great model. Posters (11×17) should still be available through Optimist. While a show for next season hasn’t been selected yet, development plans are going forward. Look for a membership announcement soon!
I’m currently in production mode for both Orphonic Multimedia and Milwaukee Public Theatre for videos. Work for UWMilwaukee Panther Arena has already started, at least for UW-M Men’s Basketball (schedule TBA), and pre-production for Milwaukee Wave Soccer should begin soon, as well. For Milwaukeeans, the Doors Open Milwaukee event, includes the Arena this year.
Summer holidays are nearly at an end.
And if you’ve taken the time to read this far, or if you’ve poked around on the rest of the posts, please, leave a note!
Optimist Theatre (Now Live)
Optimist Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale opened last Friday, June 13, 2014, to some fantastic reviews.
I’m proud to say that some of my shots have been published in conjunction.
If you get a chance, the production runs two more weekends, Thursday-Sunday nights at 8PM. It’s FREE!

Photo shoot yesterday for Optimist Theatre, promoting their summer production of “The Winter’s Tale.” We discovered some beautiful locations in Grant Park/ Seven Bridges and were lucky that the rain held off. Once images are cleared, you’ll be able to find them in The Work.
Optimist Theatre provides Free Shakespeare in the Park to Milwaukee every summer.
