Chap Wolff - Actor

It has been a LONG while since I posted anything. So for your patience, here is a shoot I was in.

https://youtu.be/1tm948I5gbc?si=J8kdPVLIX6CnV3ag

Got cast in a thing as an extra, hey sometimes it's about getting a booking.

My stash of DM stuff is growing.

In this photo you have a set of condition markers, an AOE ring, altitude markers, and then a few books I printed from the DM Lair

So it begins.

15 down, 0 to go

"One afternoon, while watching his children play, Tateh had an idea for a movie: a bunch of children. White, Black, Christian, Jew, Rich, Poor, all kinds. A gang, a crazy gang, getting into trouble, getting out of trouble, but together dispite their differences. He was sure it would make a wonderful movie; a dream of what this country could be. And he would be the first in line to see it"

And with that, Tateh's journey is complete, at least my telling of it. There were nights where I didn't want to tell it because of sheer exhaustion on my part. Yet, I am glad for every second I was on that stage. I got to work with an amazing cast and crew who put every ounce of themselves into their characters.

I got to tell the story of a man who was beaten down and disillusioned by the "American Dream" yet found the courage to keep going for his daughter. My words are not enough to say what I feel about Tateh, so I will leave it at that.

With all of that said, I am glad it is done. I am exhausted, I am looking forward to not stepping on a stage as an actor for a year but being an audience member and seeing others tell stories.

I was hoping this wouldn't happen but I am there. I definitely wasn't fully recovered from my burnout, and now with Ragtime opening on Friday (BTW it opens on Friday, don't forget to get your tickets), I am feeling that burnout creep back. I just want to cry for no reason.

So I guess I have an announcement because of this for my theater community. I am going to be taking all of next season off (2022/2023) from stage acting. You might catch me on some film projects or small things here or there, but I need a break from the stage. Don't worry, I will be back, I am not done with the stage and I don't think I ever will be.

Come see ragtime opening Friday.

Remember to take care of yourself

Gotta love when your dog joins in on the fun

Hold For Dog Ah the joys of recoding and having a dog. I hope every enjoys what I have to deal with.

Doing the audition thing again. Got 2 done today. Enjoy the various faces I had to make during these.

Sad news everyone, due to weather issues and key people in the cast of Wizard of Oz at TLT testing positive for COVID-19, the decision has been made to cancel the show.

I am sad but not. As many if you know I have been stretched thin and am burnt out. So while it is always sad to ha e a show close early for any reason, I won't lie and say I am not also a little relieved.

To the cast, crew, volunteers, and audience members that were apart of our trip down the yellow brick road, thank you. And see you in another land in the future.

Important performance update:

We apologize for the late notice. It is never an easy decision to cancel a performance and not one that we make lightly, but out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our patrons, cast, crew, and staff, the remaining performances of The Wizard of Oz have been canceled due to concerns over COVID-19 and the weather.

As a small non-profit arts organization coming out of the pandemic, this is a tremendous financial decision for us. We have been so appreciative of our community as we return to live events. If you had tickets for a performance and have not received an email or phone call, please contact TLT at 253.272.2281.

I have had 9 shows in 10 days, I am thoroughly exhausted. However I am resting this Christmas with my loving wife , my favorite Winston doodles, my Willow girl, and Wrenn.

I hope you are happy and healthy. And I will see you on the other side of Oz.
