Thanks to our sponsors and our audience for supporting the
Austin Young Lawyers' Association production of
Bar & Grill: Double Feature. It's done and it was fun. I especially enjoyed performing in
The State Theatre. In previous shows, I have been in
The Paramount Theatre and in The Long Center's Rollins Theatre. Thus far, The State Theatre has been my favorite venue in which to appear (good size for the production along with the historic aspect and location).
This year, I appeared as three different characters: (1)
Don Draper, (2)
Sonny Crockett, and (3)
Ron Paul. This is a departure from last year, when I was a parody of
Finn from Glee throughout the entire show (our parody version was called "Plea" and ironically I can't stand the actual TV show Glee). The year before I essentially played myself (if I were a partner at a large Austin firm and not the CEO of
Prism Risk Management).
I was able to get in a fair amount of photography during act II of the show. I'll be posting photos as soon as I get a few selected and edited.
I attempted to shoot some behind the scenes video, but my camera set-up was not conducive to the low light backstage. My friend and fellow cast member
David Wells, however, got a lot of footage on one of his video cameras.
I had a great time doing the show. I'm already making plans for writing for next year's production.
Bar & Grill is a fundraiser for the AYLA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Austin Young Lawyer's Association.
I was very pleased to have my company, Prism Risk Management LLC, be included as one of the sponsors for the Austin Young Lawyers' Association holiday party. This year's event was held at Malverde in downtown Austin. Malverde is always a good venue for this type of event, and the food from La Condesa was quite popular with the AYLA members.
