VivanWestworld

In honor of Westworld Season 2 premeiring this weekend, sharing video I took of Vivian Glazier as a "host" at the SXSW Westworld activation in March. Vivan nor any of the cast, even once, broke character interacting with the "visitors". It was a truly surreal experience, and very special I was able to capture a Variant actor giving such a unique (and wonderful) performance.

Here is Paul Sanchez performing at a posh event by Zach Theatre. Both Paul and Kenny Williams will be acting in Zach's "A Christmas Carol", and they're not the only ones in upcoming shows around town- look out for Hannah M LeBrun in Georgetown's "The Little Mermaid", Kathryn Lane in "Laughter on the 23rd Floor" at The City Theatre, and Miles Chick in Zach Theatre's "The Great Society"!
