David recently stepped in, last-minute, to take over for a featured role in The Rep's acclaimed production of The Blue Sky Boys directed by Gordon Greenberg. Initially, Girard was serving in the capacity of Assistant Director (and taking the show through tech and previews due to Greenberg's prior commitment to his hit West End production of Guys and Dolls). However, with less than two days, Girard learned the role of Howard Haggarty and with the help of Artistic Director Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill, stepped in, off-book with a new haircut in tow. Check out the Steve Barne's feature in the Times Union of David's crazy adventure.
