PLAYING BURTON is a fascinating one-man play about the storied life of international star of stage and screen, Richard Burton. It offers a penetrating look at the notorious actor’s life—from growing up in an impoverished mining community in South Wales to becoming one of the greatest performers of his generation. PLAYING BURTON is an intense and personal look at his lifelong achievements as an artist, his passionate, yet tempestuous love affair with Elizabeth Taylor, and his tragic, yet public battle with alcoholism. The lyrical, poetic text is a soulful exploration of fame, ambition, and identity told from the perspective of the megastar who experienced it all. Acclaimed actor Brian Mallon (Gods and Generals and Gettysburg), reprises the role of Burton with expertise. In 2005, he performed this play at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to great accolades. Mallon also played this role in NYC, LA and Cardiff. His fluency in Welsh provides genuine authenticity, as that was Burton’s first language.

We want to help your kid land their first job!

Hello!  I am a co-founder of Converge, and I’m excited to share our Job Search Course with DC Moms – we are offering this community 10% off our job search course for recent and soon-to-be college grads.

Converge offers a high-touch, small group, six-week program led live by ICF-certified coaches with backgrounds at the CIA, Tesla, OpenAI, and with Fortune 100 firms. This isn’t a generic online class. We work directly with students and recent grads to build a polished resume and LinkedIn profile, sharpen interview skills, and (most importantly) gain the confidence and clarity to land roles that truly fit.

What makes the program unique is the network students build while they’re in it. Each cohort moves through the course together, practicing networking in real time and forming professional relationships that often continue long after the program ends.

And it doesn’t stop at the job offer. In our final session, we prepare grads for success from day one on the job: teaching skills like intellectual empathy, professional etiquette, and how to connect with coworkers and managers. That way, students don’t just land well, they thrive once they’re in the role.

If you have a college student, recent grad, or young professional in your life who’s job hunting, this could be the structured, confidence-building boost they need.

Please use YOURJOB10 at checkout for 10% off the course, and visit http://www.convergecoaches.com/job-search to learn more.
