Photographic resume of my acting career!
THEATRICALLY SPEAKING
October 2006 (David in Mornings at Seven)
THIS IS ME
Well, it's close to what I look like. The facial hair alters with mood and acting roles.
Just so you know, Mickey Ray was my chosen name for theatre back in 1968. My birth name is Michael Pfleger. (Unless you're German, I doubt you can pronounce that correctly, so you now know why I changed it back then.
More permanently speaking,
the hair on the scalp gets a little thinner with every passing year.

Wearing the Playwright's Hat
(Only recently wearing this hat!)
"Imaging This"
Seven characters - 3 males, 4 females One of the actresses, Naomi, should not be mentioned in the program, but announced, at the bows, after her surprise entrance at the end of the play
Five actors gather on the stage of their local community theater to read a new one act play called, "Sessions and Secrets”, written by one of their members, Naomi.
Although the new play takes place at a Catholic school, some actors begin to notice the resemblance of themselves in the various characters. The resemblance leans towards their darker side and even darker secrets and, perhaps, somebody among them doesn't want their secret to be told.
"Condescending Order"

Wearing the Director's Hat
As time went by, I often wound up directing shows that I'd also appeared in.
I have only had to direct myself in emergencies when a cast member was no longer a part of the show for whatever reasons. I have not
purposely directed myself in any lead role, nor do I envy anyone who takes on
that task.
