This is David's favorite role. At least it is now jockeying for the role he is playing in, "Pirated" now playing at Rogers Memorial Theater in Centerville. It is a story about a movie "Mogul" filming "The Pirates of Penzance" with "silent" actors with no singing voices and requiring sound overs. It quickly descends to mayhem and David plays the Mogul who is the "epitome" of arrogance. An absolutely funny show and a "must" see. David has played a lot of roles over the years and always enjoys the roles that give his personality a chance to come through. We were on our mission in England when he played in "South Pacific", I don't like "Shenendoah" he got killed in that. And I do not like "West Side Story", he didn't get killed I just do not like the story. He played Joseph in "Joseph and Mary" a very touching Christmas story. He played Joseph in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and on and on. He is good at what he does and that is not just a proud Mom making that statement, he has a following. Many people go because David is playing. As a family we remember the day at Cherry Hill and he was on the pirate ship there and suddenly burst into song, "I am a Pirate King....." his family disappeared into the crowd. But his Mom (me) stayed and filmed the whole sequence. What a character, what a "David".

We will NEVER forget the day he sang at Cherry Hill.
'Nuf said!
If we lived in Utah, we would be regulars at David's shows I'm sure. His knack for entertaining whether through song or joke is a gift.
I have never in my life met anyone quite like our David. And that's a good thing. It makes us an interesting family :-)
Ah, the Cherry Hill performance--- that for sure should be in the Marsden Family Classics.
I can't wait to see his performance next Monday night!!
Megan and I are planning to come see David next week. He is so talented and my sisters and parents love to see him perform. He has a fan club for sure!!
Thanks for the kind words, all. Just for the record, I was killed in West Side Story. It was a glorious death scene.
