Chap Wolff - Actor

15 down, 0 to go

"One afternoon, while watching his children play, Tateh had an idea for a movie: a bunch of children. White, Black, Christian, Jew, Rich, Poor, all kinds. A gang, a crazy gang, getting into trouble, getting out of trouble, but together dispite their differences. He was sure it would make a wonderful movie; a dream of what this country could be. And he would be the first in line to see it"

And with that, Tateh's journey is complete, at least my telling of it. There were nights where I didn't want to tell it because of sheer exhaustion on my part. Yet, I am glad for every second I was on that stage. I got to work with an amazing cast and crew who put every ounce of themselves into their characters.

I got to tell the story of a man who was beaten down and disillusioned by the "American Dream" yet found the courage to keep going for his daughter. My words are not enough to say what I feel about Tateh, so I will leave it at that.

With all of that said, I am glad it is done. I am exhausted, I am looking forward to not stepping on a stage as an actor for a year but being an audience member and seeing others tell stories.

Remember to take care of yourself
