Star's 'Life Goes On'to theater
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Chad Lowe grew up surfing and acting along side his brother, Rob, who costars on TV's West Wing.
Chad is best remembered for his role as a wisecracking teen on Spencer in the mid-1980s, and then for his portrayal of the HIV-positive Jesse McKenna in the 1990s series Life Goes On, which earned him an Emmy. Since then, he has appeared in a number of movies and TV productions. None, though, offered the acting challenge he found in off-Broadway's Burning Blue.
Homosexuality in the military landed center stage in the DMW Greer play about an officer who discovers that his best friend and wing man is having an affair with a fellow officer.
"I felt like this was a love story between two friends more than anything." Lowe said in a recent interview. "Yes, it's set against the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy of the military. Yes, it's set against
these naval flyers. But, ultimately, I think it's a very unique love story in that — how does a heterosexual man express his love to his dearest childhood friend who comes out as being gay?"
Lowe, 34, portrayed Lt. Will Stephensen, who eventually comes to terms with his own jealousy and prejudices and lets love and friendship prevail. The play, directed by John Hickok, recently closed at the Samuel Beckett Theatre.
"I think I've grown a little bit since I was last in a play," said Lowe. "It's a challenge every night — an exploration. That's exciting, I haven't really had that experience before." Lowe's other stage appearances have been a 1990 WPA Theatre production in New York of Don Nigro's *Groteques Love Songs and Huckleberry Finn* at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts.
Greer said that Lowe was a-perfect match for the role of
Stephensen.
"Chad is incredibly honest," he said. "He has the vulnerabilities I was looking for in the character, and they really come across on stage."
Lowe says his portrayal of Stephensen speaks to his evolution as an actor and a person.
"The goal has always been to continue to grow as a human being, as an artist and as a couple so that we are always challenging ourselves and inspiring one another," he said, referring to himself and his wife, Academy Award-winning actor Hilary Swank.
For the past few years, Lowe has worked on movie projects of his own. His short film, The Space Between, featuring Swank, received good reviews at a number of film festivals.
Lowe is looking forward to them both working in New York theatre.
"There is nowhere like this city to do live theatre," he said. "I love it."
