earning an Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship nomination for his work in the role of Ernie Hardaway in the fall 2008 production of Natural Selection.
Antigone will be presented at the Garfield Park Arts Center (2432 Conservatory Drive in Indianapolis) on five dates: 7 p.m. March 14, 15, 21 and 22, and 3 p.m. March 23. Admission is free, as are all GSC productions. But because seating is limited, people are asked to call the arts center during regular business hours in advance of the show date to ensure seating is available and to reserve seats.
