'SWEENEY TODD" ACTOR JASON SWITZER EXPLAINS WHY HE IS HAPPY TO BE AT MEDIA THEATRE

Jason Switzer plays the role of Judge Turpin in "Sweeney Todd" at The Media Theatre, on stage now through October 28. (Tickets available at 610-891-0100/ mediatheatre.org)
Here, he explains why he is happy to be in the production:

"Throughout my career, I have had the fortune to work in many of the greatest, most beautiful cities in the world.  It is, undoubtedly, one of the great perks of being a performing artist.  However, all the travel and living out of suitcases is not all it's cracked up to be.  Here are the sorts of things that have happened:

Very long travel days, like the time I took a red-eye flight, then another red eye, then an hour shuttle, then a 4-hour train, then a 2-hour train, then a 45-minute ferry, and finally was picked up by somebody in a car, driven straight to rehearsal.  I did not sing very well that day.

There was the time I finished a job in Bremen, Germany and was flying home from Hanover.  I didn't receive my wakeup call.  So instead of a nice relaxing train, I got in a taxi that drove me over 100 mph for 53 minutes where I barely made my flight.  I mention the 53 minutes because that's exactly how long the taxi driver said it would take to pull up to the gate.  It was thrilling.  The Autobahn is the best!!!

How about the time my luggage was lost in London, but I was going from city to city in Scotland and the airline was desperately trying to catch my luggage up to me, finally getting it to me when I returned back to London.  I will tell you that Scotland is very cold when you don't have your full slate of clothes with you.

Here's one of my favorites.  I had a flight canceled, so my hastily rescheduled connection had the city name right, but had me going to a different state.  Who knew there were so many Bloomingtons in this country?

Or how about the time I was in a very nice hotel when the fire alarm went off at 4 a.m. sending everybody out of the hotel.  And it was raining.  Why did it happen?  Somebody was smoking in their room and they had very sensitive smoke detectors in the hotel.

Which leads me to say how grateful I am that I am able to work so close to home, because life at home with two young girls isn't nearly as chaotic as being on the road in this crazy life."

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

  5. I don't have time beating around the bush, instead I go straight to the point.... So to you doubters I ain't expecting you all to believe my testimony but only the few chosen ones by God. In a short summary, I'm here to tell the whole world that I recently got cured from my long term herpes disease, both the HSV1 and HSV2 through the assistance of Herbalist doctor Oyagu I pray God continually blesses Dr Oyagu in all he does, because he is indeed a very good, nice and powerful doctor. I’m cured of herpes disease at last! Wow I'm so much in great joy because I've never in my life believed herbs works, but meeting doctor Oyagu was an eye opener and he made me believe that herpes truly got a complete cure. I used the doctor's herbal medicine for just two weeks and I was totally cured from both my HSV1 and HSV2. I'm so excited. For help and assistance in getting rid of your herpes virus you can Call/WhatsApp doctor Oyagu on his telephone number: +2348101755322 or for more inquiries you can as well contact the doctor on EMAIL: oyaguherbalhome@gmail.com
