Maskery






I'm adding a few more pictures of my works as a mask-maker so far in my theatre career at Butler University. Here as some of the masks I've created in the past four years, but not all by any means. Puppets, commissions, and seminar masks have yet to be thoroughly documented, but will be up soon/on the resume website under technical works before long.

The larger, toothy mask is "Kate & Moon" mask, modeled after "Moon Goddess and Demon" - a decorative mask - that was made practical for John Green's production of The Tamer Tamed by John Fletcher. The older man mask, "Gremio" was said character from this show as well.

The bottom few pictures are from Caryl Churchill's The Skriker and feature "The Hag", various characters at the underground banquet (Drink-Drank-Drunk), and myself in the upper and lower right in my "Yallery Brown" mask playing said role in this production.

St. Mary's Speakeasy

Myself and my brother at a charity event for the children of St. Mary's hospital. It was a 20's-themed event. Pictured here with me is my older brother, also an actor: Noah Winston. Our character names, by the end of the night, were "Jimmy the Teeth" and "Dupree". We made over $500 in our personal poker chip selling efforts.

Gem of the Ocean


Myself with Earnest Perry Jr. at the after party of IRT's production of August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean. I had recently completed my internship there under Timothy Douglas. Earnest is currently performing at ATC in Shakespeare's The Tempest.

A Mask in Performance


A mask I designed and constructed for John Green's production of The Tamer Tamed by John Fletcher. This is a mask created for Kate's character when she is to have finally lost her mind in marriage. (I apologize for some blurriness.)

A Morsel


This is an image from a show I participated in last spring, a devised piece by Kait Lamasky: Doors to Perception. We explored themes of how the media can shape our perception of the issues around us for better and for worse. It was performed at Butler University.

Welcome!

Greetings! Welcome to the beginnings of my acting blog. Here you will find updates as to what I am currently acting in, auditions I will be attending, and updates about my locations, travels, and work as a actor/theatrical designer. Everything's still in the fetal stages yet, but with the coming weeks a gallery will be up with recent show photos and pictures of work I've done for costume design, mask design, and set design. Stay tuned - good things lie ahead.
