Don will be returning for a third season at Post Playhouse on Fort Robinson in Nebraska this summer. He will be appearing in four of the five productions that are being mounted this year. Last time Don went to Post Playhouse, he was featured as the guitar playing character of Jim in Pump Boys and Dinettes. This year he will not only be playing guitar again (as Hank Williams in Hank Williams: Lost Highway) but he will also be choreographing for Forever Plaid (and playing Frankie).
This summer will see the return of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with Don as Vice Principal Panch. The final published show to round off the season is The Marvelous Wonderettes which does not include Don, but does feature his girlfriend, Diana Rose Becker.
