Congratulations, Bill!

My buddy Bill Roddy, (photo left) has just won the best actor award in the EODL Full Length Play Festival, for his portrayal of the father in A.R. Gurney's The Cocktail Hour, which I reviewed last week in wordcurrents.

Bill has been an actor since the beginning of the universe. He has a comic sensibility that reaches deep into the character with total commitment. But he is also a dramatic actor of great sensitivity, as some of you saw when he played the whole life-span of the central character Bubby in A Song After Living at the proto-Weaveshed theatre that we built specifically for the show, and tore down right after.

Congratulations, Bill! Well done.
