This one has been a long time coming-over three years in the making and now we’re two weeks from the [...]
Will Power given Yellow Roses
This past week I was in Texas having a grand ole’ time. DJ Reborn and I performed a swift 25 minute set in celebration of the AT & T Performing Arts Center down there in Dallas. It was the big gala opening. Our set was part of a larger set, and I found myself sharing [...]

South Africa
The trip to South Africa was one of the most incredible experiences of my professional and personal life to be sure. I was on a U.S. State Department sponsored, barnstorming 12 day/4 city tour-first to Johannesburg, then Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban. Got the opportunity to speak to so many different kinds of people, all [...]

Will Power in Tanzania
This summer was an amazing one for me. Two weeks ago I was in South Africa on a 12 day tour sponsored by the State Department (more on that later), but the early part of the season found me in Tanzania. I traveled there with the International Theatre & Literacy project-and for almost three weeks [...]
American Theatre Magazine’s “At 25”
What up everybody!
I’ve just been named 1 of 25 artists who will more than likely influence American theatre over the next 25 years. The vote of confidence was given by American Theatre Magazine, the largest and most respected journal in the field. I have to say, it’s a thrill and an honor to be in [...]
