Hell in High Water

I returned to New Stage to play Will Percy in Marcus Gardley’s Hell in High Water. There have been few plays I have done that have had such a powerful and immediate impact on the local community. Local leaders and legislators remarked on the importance of the telling of the historic 1927 Mississippi flood. The story came to life in large part through Grammy-winner Vasti Jackson’s original music (http://www.vastijackson.com/) Working him has been an artistic highlight.
