Welcome to the archives here at Derek Coghlan. Have a look around.
Raised in Castlepollard, a small town in the middle of nowhere in the middle of Ireland, I came to the U.S. in 1990 and after a seven year employment odyssey finally found my way to Landrum Middle School in Ponte Vedra where I teach Language Arts. I was a founding member of the Atlantic Shakespeare Company and while with the company I played the title role in Richard II, Cassius in Julius Caesar, Antony in Antony and Cleopatra and Feste in Twelfth Night. I also played the title role in the Playboy of the Western World at Atlantic Beach Experimental Theater, as well as Amundsen in Terra Nova and Dr Watson in Sherlock Holmes and the Curse of the Sign of Four at the Limelight Theater in St. Augustine.
Repainting Larry Cooper is my second one man show. Previously I performed How to Borrow an Egg and other Stories at 9th and Main in Jacksonville. Repainting Larry Cooper also debuted at 9th and Main. It is made up of 8 monologues that deal with various aspects of my life, real and imaginary.
I apologize to my family, the Catholic church, Germany, Monica Lewinsky, and anyone else who is offended by the material. Writing and performing my own work is cheaper and hopefully more effective than therapy.
