Spotlight on . . . Peter Griggs
Boathouse & Co. is lucky that one day in February, Peter stuck his head in the door of Mama Calizo's Voice Factory and asked if we were auditioning. Yes! we said. Two weeks later he joined our cast, and in these last couple of months, Peter has brought a versatile blend of movement, acting, and singing skills to our work together (not to mention a good measure of humor).
Peter's Bio: Originally from Seattle, this San Francisco transplant has been involved in numerous incarnations of stagecraft. Growing up in acting, dance, and voice classes made for an interesting beginning and present. In his youth Peter was part of a Company called "Greaspaint" where he learned the wonders of dance, iambic pentameter, improv, stage combat; a foundation for the creative arts was formed. Musical endeavors include: “A Chorus Line” (Bobby), Peninsula Civic Light Opera, “West Side Story” (PePe), Sunnyvale Community Players, Godspell (Judas/John) - Palo Alto Players; and many more. In San Jose he was involved with the Young Peoples Theatre where he played Mr. Jordan in “Heaven Can Wait”as well as SJCC’s groundbreaking play “AS IS”. Peter’s passion for the theatre is inspired by new works. In Seattle he was heavily involved with the nationally renowned “Alice B. Theatre” [A Queer theatre for all people]; while in residence he performed, workshopped, directed, and wrote original pieces. In San Francisco Peter has been lucky enough to work with Erika Shuch (ESP Project), Crash Cabaret, reveller/dancer with New College [EPI rocks!] afficionados Dwayne Calizo and Jessica Fudim. Peter feels very honored to be working with Row & Susie in this, a truly inspired piece of art. Photo by Borys Procak.
