death becomes her...me...uh, us?
never thought you'd have a conversation with death, did you? neither did shamus (played by marc adam smith) in five years later, but he comes nose to nose with her.
it surprised very few that i was to tackle the role of death in poy's current production, seeing as i do have a penchant for the darker roles. (for those who may not remember, i have played two very different versions of satan in deadtime stories and lovesmacked). what may surprise many, however, is that the lovely courtney tisch will be picking up death's sickle (or scroll in this case) as i am forced to leave the production a week early.
it is with mixed feelings, that i do this. playing this part has been such fun and i feel like the show is just coming into its own. but, opportunity has knocked and there is no way i can't answer it. i am leaving the production of five years later to be the assistant company manager of don't quit your night job, a new broadway after hours improv, sketch comedy, and musical review. the first preview is on april 26th, during the last week of five years later. by taking this position, i am fulfilling my dream of my "day job" being theater. go figure it's with a show called don't quit your night job.
courtney will be joining us back stage and in the audience this week to learn all the fun stuff i do back stage (i get to play with fake blood and makeup!) and on stage. i know she'll take the character in new and exciting directions and I only wish i would be able to see it.
want to see the different faces of death? come see me, karron karr, as death in five years later from april 18-21 and go again to see courtney tisch as death april 25-28.

Karron, it was great to work with you on FIVE YEARS LATER!! One note, after this blog entry was posted, casting changed once again and the role of Death was filled by our very own stage manager Leslie Marseglia! She did a great job. Kudos to all!
