I play Captain Lance Trainor, a comic-book pilot hero, in this reading of the new musical SUPREMA at New Dramatists, directed by Sam Gold (Circle Mirror Transformation), with book/lyrics by Jordan Harrison and music/lyrics by Daniel Zaitchik.  Starring Douglas Sills (The Scarlet Pimpernel), Kerry O’Malley (Into the Woods, White Christmas), Kathy Voytko (The Pirate Queen, Nine), Betsy Wolfe (Everyday Rapture), and others, SUPREMA tells the story of William Moulton Marston, the man who invented the character Wonder Woman … and also lived in a polyamorous relationship with two women … and whose research on lie detection led to the development of the polygraph.  Who knew?!

My song “The First Amendment” will appear in this new Theatreworks USA musical, running from July 8 to August 13 at the Lortel Theatre!
