The Sculptor
Posted July 19th, 2007 by GretjenProduced by Donna Peronace
Modern-day renaissance men and women will enjoy this short conversation with Dennis Christopher Murphy, a biologist who made a career and life-altering decision to trade in his microscope for the allure of lumps of unformed clay. Murphy finds his inspiration in a variety of natural forms and objects such as rocks, sticks, moss plants and fish skulls -- and the occasional human-made object like a soap bar, thrown in for good measure.

Some call it "paying dues," some call it "toughing it out," but whatever you call it, trying to survive in the uncertain, fluky world of art -- waiting for a break which may never come -- is a precarious and unsettling way to live. Larry Moses writes, directs and acts in this humorous mini-drama about making a living cleaning offices (while surreptitiously reading battered copies of Harold Pinter plays) and pursuing his dreams of being an accomplished actor.
By day, Larry Moses is the Program Coordinator for the University of Pennsylvania's Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. When his workday is over, Moses transfers his boisterous personality to the Philadelphia-area stage, where he’s acted in close to 150 plays and directed more than 100, including "Purlie Victorious" for the Philadelphia Black Theater Festival in the mid-1980s, which was named one of the five best plays that year.
