Jim & his wife Nancy have launched a campaign on indiegogo to build Underhill, a green-roof house! Currently 50% complete, Underhill will have a full 12" of earth on its roof, supporting a full restoration of the woodland habitat in which the house is set.  The house will conserve energy, reduce stormwater runoff, minimize the urban heat island effect, and maximize habitat for plants & animals.  Visit http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/build-underhill/x/1817452.

Jim is performing the role of Editor Webb in OUR TOWN at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey.  It's one of his top ten all-time favorite plays.  Directed by Joseph P. Discher, it will perform through November 17, 2013.

Jim played Amos Hart in CHICAGO at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, Summer 2013!  The local paper called his performance "...a knockout...poignant, funny, spot on."

Jim was project leader in this exciting new product from Google:

On March 4, Jim played Duke Frederick and Duke Senior in the concert reading of VERY VERY, a new rock musical that reinvents Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT!  It was an extraordinary evening in the theatre.  Conceived and directed by the amazing Jason King Jones, the astonishingly good and varied music was penned by Zac Lasher (music) and Jay Leibowitz (lyrics).  This talented trio deserves to go all the way with this great work of art!
