About our Walker

Do you know anyone who has walked 2,400 miles? A thousand miles? Six hundred miles? In 2002 Geoffrey walked the entire north/south distance of his native New Zealand's beautiful South Island. This 600 mile walk took about a month, and in addition to the endurance walking, he performed a "feat of memory" - his one-man presentation of the Gospel of St. Mark - about a 90 minute presentation.

Geoffrey's big strong legs take him many places, and his amazing dramatic acting gifts have also taken him many places. This acclaimed actor has performed in theatres and organizations in northeast Ohio; Illinois; London, England; Ireland; Australia and New Zealand. He studied acting with New Zealand fictional crime writer and theatre director Dame Ngaio Marsh. In 2007, Geoffrey was awarded an Acclamation for Artistic Achievement from the Ohio Senate. He will soon play the "Giver" in a play by the same title produced by the Magical Theater Company in Barberton, Ohio. He has appeared in Equus, Macbeth, The Secret Garden, Terra Nova and numerous others.

Along his 2,400 mile journey, Geoffrey will offer groups, churches and organizations the opportunity for his solo performance of an original play about a conversation with his mother years before she started the struggle with Alzheimer's disease.

If you know an organization, church or group along the US Route 1 historic highway, who might be interested in sponsoring a perfornmance, please contact us either here or at feetmemory.yahoo.com.
