Well, I never thought I would have an acting career in Czech theater, but, like so many other unexpected things that have happened since I moved to this country - I was wrong. If you look at the beautiful picture to the right and that really scaring looking person in the middle - that is me! I played a bear, a challenging role considering Czech bears say "Vrrrrr!" instead of the English "Grrrr!" I know what your thinking - the practice and concentration to prepare for such a change in culture! It was a ton of fun. The play was called King Ubu, all in Czech, and was performed by students (and a couple teachers) from the high school I teach at. We performed the play at a festival put on by and for people in the high school, and even had an encore performance at a theater in the center of Prague for parents, friends and students! In addition to my bear acting, I also got to say a few words in Czech as a nobleman and then was thrown from the stage. All in a days work . . .
