In case anybody's in the DC area and interested
Here's a link to an entry I posted on the blog for a play I'm in at Forum Theatre in Washington, DC. The play is The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, and I think it's a terrific piece of theatre:

If you're in the area, give it a shot.

Mandy and I will be attending the May 2nd show. I'm looking forward to it!
Good luck!
Thanks, Frank - and anyone else, I would recommend taking a look at this meditation.
Good luck with the run of the play!

Further comments
Jim, I just spotted your comment to my entry on the Forum Theatre blog. I elaborated somewhat:
I used the Graves quote because it makes the connection — or disconnection — between myth and religion, and, yes, I used Campbell for the basic story of the hero myth. An acquaintance years ago said all of Campbell’s later work was pretty much a variation on The Hero With a Thousand Faces. While my reading of Graves is also some years old, I do remember that he scoffed at Campbell, though not by name, for Campbell's somewhat Jungian view, because Graves’s view of Greek mythology, at least, tended to be more historical. My eclectic tendency with any reading or study, including this blog, is to take bits and pieces from here and there, so long as they seem to have some grain of truth and integrity, and come to my own conclusions. I think both the historic and the psychological views of mythology have kernels of truth in them, and I think they can both provide insight into my own thinking.
Thanks again for your comments.

Thanks
Thanks for checking it out. I enjoy your postings. I've also got your novel on my desktop, but haven't got around to reading it yet. One of these days, if I stop acting and catch up on my other reading....
