In early April, I auditioned for the play "The Last Night of Ballyhoo," and strangely enough, I got the part of Joe Farkas. It was a great experience. I learned a lot about myself by becoming somebody else. Joe is confident and funny and goes after what he wants (the girl) despite everything that stands in the way (anti-semitism). I love Jewish culture and it was fun to be a part of it in at least a small way. I even got to wear a yarmulka for the last scene. I spent a lot of time with a lot of good people that worked very hard. It took all my free time. But those two months of hard work were worth it. They really helped strengthen Natasha and my marriage because, since we only had a little time to spend together, we had to make it good. I have more free time now, which is a blessing and a curse. But I am glad I got the part and it was a great experience. Shabat Shalom!
