"...hilariously quirky...Weber and Griswold make an endearingly mismatched duo...consistently enjoyable and an ideal date show." -L.A. Times, Critic's Choice (here, read the full review!)

"...wildly funny... The five-character ensemble are a marvel to watch under Jeremy Aldridge's smooth direction...the ensemble are a dream team...A triple threat production: great writing, great direction, great acting! Bravo!" -Broadway World

"... a brilliant play from Padraic Duffy, exquisitely directed by Jeremy Aldridge, and superbly acted by a wonderful cast...Julia Griswold as Meredith entertains us with her great comic chops...Past Time is one of those shows you just sit back and experience. Don't miss it." -Discover Hollywood

"Deeply emotional even in its whimsy, every single element of this production, every character, is perfectly crafted, staged and presented. One of the most emotionally satisfying plays you will experience this year – bar none." -Gia on the Move

"Poignant and funny...it is the magical skills of the cast, fast-paced direction by Aldridge, and often foul-mouthed but totally modern and realistic language by Duffy, that make each moment so true to life that no doubt you will see a bit of yourself in each of their emotional struggles... And who can’t use some great laughs along the way?"
-Culver City News

"The company has a hit on its hands." -Paul Myrvold's Theatre Notes

"Duffy has written a charming, hilarious, yet ultimately gentle play, his rapid-fire, idiosyncratic sense of humor a lovely match for director Jeremy Aldridge and his endearing band of actors." -Arts in L.A.

"WOW... deliciously quirky, often side-splittingly funny, ultimately heartwarming... Griswold’s delightfully deadpan Meredith grows as well...Abundant laughter and charm (plus enough heart to provoke a tear or two before it’s over), Past Time has them all... a delectable winter treat." -StageScene L.A.

I'm working on Past Time, the new Padraic Duffy play at Sacred Fools Theater, which has moved from its longtime home on Heliotrope Drive to Theater Row on Santa Monica Boulevard!

It's a beautiful story about love, loss, impermanence, friendship, and unicorns. We open February 19; directed by Jeremy Aldridge, stars Leon Russom, Ruth Silveira, French Stewart, Josh Weber, and m'self.

The Ovations Awards ceremony isn't until 11/9, but this is from the nominees' reception, where they plied us with drinks and snacks and nominee certificates and Ovation pins and a good time was had by all. Pictured: The Behavior of Broadus All-Star Band.

Nikki's magical new music video is out! Watch me uke hunt.

The Behavior of Broadus got nine (NINE!) Ovation Award nominations, including best production of a musical (intimate theatre), acting ensemble of a musical, book, lyrics, and directing. I anxiously await the awards ceremony, I'll don my finest diamonds to celebrate 99-seat theatre with m'comrades in arms.

And Serial Killers is back in session, here's me last week as a 911 dispatch officer in Tifanie McQueen's "Florida Man," directed by Ben Rock. Saturday nights at 11!

My episode of RideShare Confessions is live! Definitely not just playing me at 14, totally created a character there

I just got word that Rideshare Confessions, a Crooked Astronaut series I shot an episode of last fall, has found distribution with the good people at OmarGoshTV! They're releasing new episodes every Friday, starting tomorrow.

I realized recently that my last blog post was from September of last year, so it looks like I haven't been doing anything, but I have, and I've been going back through and adding more pictures and links and things, which glitched out the site, so these blog entries say that they were happening throughout like a week, but they were all posted 7/31, I just changed the dates so they'd show up in the right order. Enjoy!

I spent a lot of June shooting a short film with Zachary, which we co-wrote. It's down in edit-town with Jim Pierce now, so more on this in a couple months.

I also saw an ABSOLUTE BALLS-TON of theatre at the Hollywood Fringe Fest, and I went to a screening/talkback of a film my friend Jenelle Riley wrote! It's called Warning Labels. It's been screening at a bunch of festivals, see it!

Okay look, so this was mostly just more Serial Killers.

That time me, Zachary, and Jen DeRosa performed as ZACHARY BERNSTEIN AND FRIENDS AND ENEMIES for vote count
