DANIEL JOHN KELLEY

Earlier this month, my good friend Annie Levy’s directing class at PACE University did a one-act festival (See what I did there with the title? See that? Eh? Ehhhh).

Two one-acts of mine were featured as part of it: Dizzy Dizzy Dingo Breath’s Bad Day and Gibbins. Having seen these performed before, and having been a part of the rehearsal process during those productions, it was fun to go in and see these pieces completely fresh. And they did a great job too! Congrats to directors Alionka Polanco and Kristen Vaphides, and their awesome casts.

Below are some pictures from Gibbins (Photos by Kristen Vaphides):

A thing I kind of sentimentally nerded out about was the fact that the production of Gibbins had in it an epic angel statue- which is awesome, first of all. Second of all I found out this epic angel statue was recycled from the theatre department’s recent production of Tennessee Williams’ Summer and Smoke. This happens to be the first play I was ever a part of in High School (I played the awkward suitor Roger Doremus), which started me on the path towards the career I’ve chosen. So in addition to looking bad ass, the angel statue made me think about where I started, how far I’ve come, and how much farther I have (and want to) go.
