Hello everyone,
Well, it appears a critic came to see Crossing Paths in Washington Square, and had some really nice things to say about the cast, along with Yours Truly. Check out the remarks from Show Business Weekly's Gena Hymowech. Thanks for the kind words Gena!

What's in a Name?
Welcome all and hello 2013!
So much has been on my mind, and this year feels fresh to me in many news ways.
Right now, the first step is to find my definitive stage name. Now many people have said, "what's wrong with Ben Davis?"--nothing at all. It's just that someone else has thought to use it first.
Actually, my name is SO GOOD, that people couldn't resist putting it to good use before I came along (hard to believe, huh?).
When I was at college, I once had to replace my I.D. When I told them my full name, Benjamin Davis, they asked me, "which one"--because there were 19 others(!).
According to the inter-webs it's a pretty catchy name for other things, too; with a clothing line, a high school, and even some delicious produce, named after "us". One father and son even used it to make history. Oh, and a major Broadway caliber actor, too.
Clearly, my name is meant for the kind of big things my Life Journey is all about. It's time for me to take this wonderful title provided from my parents and find my own Ben Davis Flavor.
And, being the wonderful fans that you are, it wouldn't be right to decide without hearing your thoughts!
You can join the discussion I've started on facebook. There's a place to vote there, or post a comment of your own. You can email me, too, of course. But, please, take your two cents and spend it here.
Below are just some of the ideas already suggested for bringing the "real Ben Davis":
Ben Davis (stick with the one I've got)
Ben W. Davis
B. W. Davis
Ben Davy
Benjamin W. Davis
Ben Davis Seuss
Wells Davis
B. Wells Davis
Ben Davi
NEW SUGGESTION:
Ben Davy Jones (or some spelling thereof)
UPDATE: LEADING NAMES THUS FAR.
Ben Davis
B. Wells Davis
Wells Davis
Ben Davi
I'm making my mark in New York, or bust. This will be the first big step to getting out there. Good to be writing to you all again.

Return to the Stage
I don't even how to commence the explanation of how the journey winded, so I will simply cut to the chase and provide you with some good yule tidings of Twenty and Thirteen:
I am in another show called Crossing Paths in Washington Sqaure. Performances are from January 17 to February 3, 2013, Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. That's twelve shows in all, so there's plenty o' time for you to make your way to 1st Ave, between 9th and 10th street, in the N-Y of C.
This play developed out of a reading I did with playwright Barbara Kahn late last year, and am very happy to be working with her collaborative team again. She has a knack for exploring identity issues using the unique culture of Bohemian Greenwich Village. We are very excited to see the words come to life and are moving full-steam towards the realized production.
Can't wait to see you all.
