The Arts | phillytrib.com: When Jordan answers a knock at his door, he's expecting to see his most recent hook-up standing there, but instead encounters Paul, the father of a former boyfriend.
Paul's son Lucas died six months ago, and Paul found Jordan's address among his son's belongings. “Reverie,” by James Ijames and produced by Azuka Theatre, is the play set for the Proscenium Theatre at The Drake May 4-22.

This looks like a really interesting play. It reminds me of a mashup between Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf and many Tenessee Williams plays. The deep grief that Mr. Wallace must embody must be truly heart wrenching to embody for so long. I often wonder why actors would want to risk unemployment by leaving a show. However, I can understand why an actor would leave a position that requires such unbelievable constant mental distress that comes with embodying a grieving father who knows so little about his dead son. Damien J. Wallace seems like an extremely interesting man and actor. Especially his very particular philosophy when it comes to acting. Having discussed method acting with actor friends in the past, I know how deeply taxing it can be to engage in theatre in such an all encompassing way. I think that this method could definitely assist a performance but it is pretty risky for the actors mental state.
