The Holy Theatre is the place where the invisible is made visible; where we face and conquer our own inner demons. The Promethean Theatre Ensemble's production of Richard III plays May 12 - June 25, 2022 at The Factory Theatre, in which I play the role of Buckingham. I share what my character has taught me about myself then sit down with Director Steve Scott, Text Coach Paulette Hicks, and Cameron Faegin who plays Richard III. I hear their take on happiness, if theatre has fed into their overall happiness, and whether our Shakespeare show has any relevance to today's topics of conversation. Finally, I have ways you can get in on exclusive Chicago dinner parties and a special announcement about my new appointment! @ibmarkwest | www.heymarkwest.com
