George Drance (AEA- AFTRA)

This page includes pictures of some of the Off-Broadway and Off-Off- Broadway productions in which I performed.

The old shadowpuppet trick gets Lewis to chuckle

The Magis Theatre production of Shakepeare's "The Winter's Tale" opened in the New York City parks and later moved to our own training and performance space. In this production I had a great pair of roles: Leontes, the tyrannical ruler of Sicilia, and Clown, a simple but clever shepherd of Bohemia.

As Wolf Alexander in Oscar Nominee Josh Greenfeld's play "The Last Two Jews of Kabul." Show Business Weekly described the performance as having "strength and conviction." and The Jewish Standard wrote "Drance plays [Wolf] with a determined bonhomie that seems to mask some internal desparation, a Willy Loman of the Orient"

Of this performance, The New York Times
wrote: "When Medea's slain children are
lowered down to Jason their father
no words are needed."

From Ionesco's "The Lesson" as the Professor.
(directed by Niky Wolcz)
This production won FIRST PRIZE at the
International Theater Festival in
Piatra Neamt, Romania.
It was an honor to play in the land of
Ionesco's birth.
Rosette Lamont wrote, "In the role
of the dictator/professor, George Drance
passes through a complete range
of emotions: from false shyness, to increasing
lubricity, anguish, panic."
Below is a shot of the press conference
after the performance.
