A little about the episode from the creator's: "22-year-old Tori Vienneau was a young mother to baby Dean and the best daughter any parent could ask for. When their bodies are found strangled in Tori's apartment, her friends and family are in complete shock. The horrible nature of this crime makes investigators and the community wonder — what animal would kill a mom and her baby?" You won't want to miss it!!

Equity's Newest Member!
I am now an official member of the Actors' Equity Association! HUZZAH! While in NYC today, I swung by the AEA office and asked about the status of my membership process. They handed me my Equity Card right then and there. I feel so honored and priviledged to call myself a member of this wonderful group of artists! To quote Oscar Wilde, "I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."

PJ is playing Peter Pan in the US Premiere of
Peter Pan A Musical Adventure
Music by George Stiles
Lyrics by Anthony Drewe
Presented by Village Productions
It’s a gorgeous, new, musical version of J.M. Barrie’s timeless story. This is my favorite version of Peter Pan by far! The show’s music is beautiful and the show’s book captures Barrie’s originally intended mystery, romance, and magic. This version has been performed in the United Kingdom a few times but this is the first time it is ever being performed, fully staged, in the USA. Don’t miss your chance to see it!
The show runs:
June 2 - June 19 at Tri-County Performing Arts Center in Pottstown, PA
Please visit www.villageproductions.org for more information!
CRITICS ARE SAYING (Click the link to see the full review)
"PJ Schweizer is delightfully mischievous in the title role and seems to have been born to soar above the
audience and fulfill everyone's concept of the boy who didn't want to grow up. His swagger and the
gleam in his eye as he sings 'The Cleverness of Me," is quintessential Peter Pan."
-The Mercury
"A fine, energetic performance by PJ Schweizer."
