Jay Halton

Jack Halton, who is also preparing for Shakespeare at Stinson's production of Hamlet this May/June 2006, mastered the role of Richard's right-hand man, Buckingham. Halton's portrayal reminded me more so of a Godfather-like consiglieri than the more often played amoral mirror to Richard, but it was not the interpretation that struck me; rather, it was the fact that there reigned a true Shakespearean presence upon the stage.

Worked at Mario's my senior year with Engster and Kevin Harrigan and Rocky I was encouraged by Mrs Biskin? and Mr. O'Brien. I still remember Hamlet's advice to The Players that I learned with them. I did Mark Twain Tonight in the gymnasium and have a photo of it in the guest room. I like most kids there intended to join the army like my brother and cousins, but I took drugs and decided I wanted to go on the stage instead.
