Three Days of Rain - A Play
SM is in a play called Three Days of Rain by Richard Greenberg. There are only three actors in the play, which is why in the previous and following photos you only see the three of them. The play is dreary and full of shouting...okay, maybe not exactly all that...but I'm not used to hearing SM shout, and he does a lot of that in this play.
As you can probably guess from the photos, the three characters are in a triangle relationship. In the first act you meet a brother, sister and best friend. During this act they confront each other about certain parts of their past, trying to understand why they are where they are...and how the past has shaped their futures.
In the second act, these same three actors play the father, mother and best friend. The children from the first act came to conclussions about the past and now you (as the audience) get to go back to the past and see if the conclussions are correct. 
It was a very interesting play to attend. It didn't leave you feeling joyous and happy, but I don't think it was supposed to. I really enjoyed watching SM on the stage. He loves theatre and used to act more regularly, but once he got married, went to law school, and finished a PhD...well, there really wasn't any time for him to act in the theatre...until now.

When is his play? I would like to go and see his acting skills.
Can't wait to see it!
Wish we lived closer so we could see it! Jeremy shouting...eh? Odd. Smile...it's so great that you guys have picked back up so many talents since being in UT!
I saw Jeremy's acting, and he's got skills! I was totally impressed, and as depressing as the story line is, watching Jeremy was so entertaining that I really did enjoy it!
