I have performed in over two dozen stage plays, several comedy sketch shows, and a handful of musicals. Most recently I played in a tight four-person drama, Closer. I also directed a dark 3-person play, The Widow’s Blind Date. Other productions are listed on my acting résumé.

I'm a veteran of hundreds of improv shows: ensemble and solo, short-form and long-form, cast member and host. For over five years my Friday night was performing in, or hosting, the 2 Girls 3 Eyes improv show which was the most profitable improv troupe at Relapse Theatre. I was also in the main stage cast of the Saturday night featured productions of JaCKPie Theatre, performing improvised Western and Action movies in First Cut and in doing a little song and dance in Improv: The Musical! For a completely different style, I narrated an hour-long show, Writer's Block, which was styled as an improvised short story. And for over three years I also played in a weekly improv mixer, Richard Kickers, which gave me the opportunity to play with some of Atlanta's best improvisers.
