Comment on Word on the street in Visalia by unpaid truck

That’s funny, I heard Bill Bland sucks balls as well, and he scams trucks out of their money, by not paying for loads delivered. Nothing worse than a thief!!!

I heard that Superstar sucked balls and that the singers were very bad. They said it was like they were just screaming and talking through the songs. But, I’m gay for it anyway…..

Comment on Fresno Bee’s Review of ‘Hamlet’ at WSF by Craig Kohlruss

I saw Hamlet last night and thought it was great. I came to include Adam in a photographic project I am working on. He was very generous and accommodating for a portrait after the show.

I wrote about it on my own blog:

My project to photograph actors in Valley theater productions is in the early stages but so far shows some promise.

I have a flickr set featuring what I have done so far:

Thanks for this blog! I’m bookmarking it.

Thank you for attending this production and for writing this column. I understand a lot of what you’re saying and I just wanted to get your take on my performance as Peter. What did I do right. How can I improve my acting. You seem to know a lot about theater and Im sure you can give me some good advice.-Nick R.

Timothy,
Thank you for being open and leaving a comment here. That, too, is much appreciated. I feel that discourse regarding our theatre community is vital. Reviews are tough to take, I know! But you have done so here with great dignity and professionalism.

And if you weren’t sensitive, you probably wouldn’t be attracted to the theatre!

I’ll definitely keep your name on my roster for any future work I do in town. ~Heather

I had a friend tell me recently that I am overly sensitive. Perhaps I am. During my initial reading of your review I was stunned. In so many ways, Dancers was very well received, as you mention. Knowing that you prefer other type of theater does soften the blow.

Having said all that, I do appreciate an honest opinion. Even if it stings. I am new to the stage. My first two roles had me on stage for less than five minutes each. I don’t say that to defend my acting but to let you know that you are right, I am new.

Understanding Kevin as a character is to acknowledge that my stiffness was his stiffness. He was uncomfortable. He didn’t like being there. He didn’t want to be there.

I too, have left during an intermission. I understand your point. Kevin loosened up in the second act and so I was able to as well. You might have enjoyed him a bit more in act two.

I have acted with only a couple different directors and usually try to choose new work to do based on working with a new director to round out my experience and enhance my acting. I would welcome an opportunity to work with you. I think I could learn volumes from you.

Thank you for an honest review,
Timothy Rich

Mom is still having her ups and downs, but she’s hanging in there. She’s a determined woman.

I’m glad you took my review as well-meaning honesty, Leslie. That says a lot about you as an actor and as a person.

I hope we still get the chance to work together someday.
