David was nominated for ‘Actor in a Supporting Role – Contracted Play’ for his portrayal of Carl in Opus at Actors Theatre of Phoenix.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing Carl, the cellist in an internationally renowned string quartet, in this production, and I was equally honored to be recognized for my work.
This production of Opus was also nominated for Best Production – Contracted Play. Four of the cast members including myself and the director were all nominated for awards in their respective categories. So needless to say it was a production I will always keep near and dear in my memories, especially because I had to dramatically destroy a violin every night at the end of the show. Our props master Scott Wagner secured real violins to be broken which was always a shocker for the audience each night.
