I am very pleased to announce that I will be playing the role of “David” in a scene from AFTER ASHLEY by Gina Gionfriddo.
Shani Murfin will be directing. This is a project for her directing class taught by Wendy McClellan.
I will post more about the time when I get that information. But it will be down on the Lower East Side.
The Abrons Art Center at 466 Grand Street (Off the Essex or Grand stop from the B, D, F, or V lines). It’s not as far away as you may think… 
The great thing for me is that this role is usually played by a man in his 50’s, so I am completely cast against type. This is going to put a fun spin on the story. The scene is from Act 2 between Justin, Alden, Julie and myself (David).
Please RSVP to Reed@ReedPrescott.com if you’d like to attend.
