Since "Murder,"  Joseph has become the first Company Member with The Rubicon Theatre Company, appearing three times in their 2001 season, in The Rainmaker (with Stephanie Zimbalist - October 12-November 5, 2000), The Glass Menagerie (with Susan Clark - March 1-25, 2001), and The Boys Next Door (with Dirk Blocker and Dana Elcar - May 3-June 3, 2001), as well as taking part in a special all-star 2-night staged reading of Ancestral Voices: A Family Story - (March 18-19, 2001).  (Check out links to reviews on these shows on Joseph's theatre page on this site.)  "The Rainmaker" returned in a special encore run to kick of RTC's 2002 season in late August/September, 2001 (see the notice on Joseph's theatre page).  

Joseph was scheduled to direct J for J (Oct. 20-Nov. 4, 2001) in RTC's 2002 season, but was paged to repeat his role as Jeb Stuart in the Gettysburg prequel Gods and Generals (currently playing in movie theatres throughout the US), however, he did direct the second engagement of J for J, when it moved to LA, and  he did perform at RTC later in the 2002 season in the smash hit Old Wicked Songs (April 13-May 19, 2002) with Harold Gould (which traveled to Santa Fe Stages in Santa Fe, NM for a special engagement (June 21-July 14, 2002)) (see info on Joseph's theatre page), per the updates below: 

In the 2003 RTC season, Joseph performed in Dancing At Lughnasa (February 24-April 6, 2003), A Streetcar Named Desire (April 24-May 25, 2003), and Art (August 28-September 28, 2003), as well as directing Of Time and Tide (June, 2003) - all at Rubicon Theatre Company.

In the 2004 season at RTC, Joseph appeared in All My Sons (October 9-November 9, 2003), and The Importance of Being Earnest (February 26-March 24, 2004).  Joseph won an Ovation Award in 2004 for his work in All My Sons (details are on on my page for him, as well as the Rubicon Theatre Company page)! 

Joseph was to play Lucky in RTC's Waiting For Godot, to begin the 2004-2005 season at BeckettFest, but he had to withdraw, due to illness.  Fortunately, he recovered quickly enough to be a moderator at the Festival.
 

Joseph also appeared as Jake Latta in RTC's Night of the Iguana in the 2004-2005 RTC season. Iguana relocated for a second run at the Manitoba Theatre Centre of Canada, from November 18 - December 11, 2004.  Here's the link for that engagement:

Joseph directed RTC's inaugural production for their new event called "Show of Justice". The show, was Twelve Angry Jurors (a.k.a. Twelve Angry Men) and played 11/4 - 6/05. For more on this program, see both Joseph's page and RTC's page on my site.

In RTC's 2004-2005 season, Joseph appeared as Mitch Albom in Tuesdays With Morrie - (a reunion with Harold Gould - whom he last appeared at RTC with in Old Wicked Songs) -  for those who missed this show, it was a really beautiful production.  Details on the show are are on my Joseph and RTC pages. 

In RTC's (2005-2006) season, Joseph appeared as Dale Harding in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest March 16 through April 9, 2006, and appeared as The Duke in Man of La Mancha all at RTC. 

In RTC's (2006-2007) season, Joseph appeared in Shakespeare's plumb lead role of "the Melancholy Dane" himself in Hamlet (4/26 - 5/20/07).  Joseph threw in some Shakespeare - just for fun - during a coaching session I had with him that November (2006), and, as I suspected even then, he was absolutely fabulous in the role - as was "verified" when he won an Indy Award for Best Performance by an Actor!

In RTC's (2007-2008) season, Joseph appeared in two RTC productions: You Can't Take It With You (11/15 - 12/23/07) (which was QUITE an outing, as just about everyone who's ever appeared at RTC was tapped to be in the show!  A great time was had by all, and Joseph was hilarious as Ed), and Picasso at the Lapine Agile (4/3 - 27/08) (another outrageous outing written by Steve Martin that  delivered a TON of laughs.  Joseph got spectacular notices as Charles Dabernow Schmendiman. 

In RTC's (2008-2009) season, Joseph appeared in a one-night reading I Loved Lucy (2/9/09), as Lee Tannen. This show/reading was presented as part of the RTC Plays In Progress series. Joseph also directed the Rubicon Youth Acting Intensive production of Bard On A Wire and appeared as The Constable in Fiddler on the Roof (3/19 - 4/26/09)!!! 

In RTC's (2009-2010) season, Joseph appeared in Doubt (1/30-2/21/10) as Father Flynn, opposite Robin Pearson Rose as Sister Aolysius. Doubt is an amazing, searing piece of theatre that will leave you debating its' issues long after it has ended. Joseph also directed the Rubicon Acting Intensive production of Macbeth in July, 2010.   

In RTC's (2010-2011), Joseph appeared as Sebastian in The Tempest - Phase 1 (a staged reading originally scheduled for 9/3 - 27/09, and then again for June of this season, but postponed due to budget availability). The reading took place October 13 - 24, 2010.

This past season (2011-2012) Joseph appeared in two productions he performed elsewhere last season: He appeared in The Mystery of Irma Vep, a two-man tour-de-force show in the tradition of Greater Tuna and Broadway's two-man 39 Steps, and makes for a rollickingly hilarious evening! This show was a co-production between RTC and Ensemble Theatre Company of Santa Barbara. It played as follows: Ensemble Theatre Company:  December 2 - 26, 2010:  http://www.ensembletheatre.com/sub_11_discriptions.php#2, Rubicon Theatre Company: Oct. 15 - November 6, 2011. Joseph also appeared as Elyot in Private Lives, Noel Coward's hilarious sea romp, at The Laguna Playhouse from March 15 - April 10. The played at RTC from September 8 - 30, 2012! For more info on the Laguna production go here: http://www.lagunaplayhouse.com.

Joseph also appeared last season in a ballet (yes - a ballet!) at Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara! The ballet was titled: An American Tango, and played October 27th at 7:30 and October 28 at 2PM. For more info go HERE. The piece is a fabulous multi-media performance, a true American love story, and a beautiful blend of dance, theater, and music. Per Joseph himself: "Um...I am in this. Ok, yes, I am in a Ballet. I narrate and kinda have to dance. A little. No 'walk of the cat' (pas de chat?) or 'neck of the foot' stuff (can't spell that in french)...but ANYHOO. I am in a Ballet." Sounds like it was a blast!

Currently, Joseph is appearing in The Flawless Murder of Edgar Allen Poe, which is part of RTC's Plays In Progress Series this year. The reading will be performed on June 8 and June 15, 2013 at RTC.

Next season (2013-2014), Joseph is slated to appear as James Tyrone, Jr. (Jim) in Eugene O'Neill's A Moon For The Misbegotten. Playing opposite him as Josie Hogan is none other than RTC's Co-Founder, Karyl Lynn Burns. The show will play March 13 - April 6, 2014, and promises to be an incredible piece of theatre! Don't miss this!

While we are fortunate that Joseph has become the first Company Member at RTC, (per Karyl Lynn Burns' 3/3/03 Rubicon Patrons' Crossings Newsletter e-mail: Rubicon's first company member Joseph Fuqua (who has appeared in 6 Rubicon productions) (NOTE: Joseph's first appearance at RTC was in "The Little Foxes" in 1999, and with his performances in their 2007-2008 season, the number increases to 22 - with "Ancestral Voices" included -, plus one Associate Directorial slate and one Directorial Slate)), he is definitely going places fast.  I recommend you catch Joseph while you can, because he's a very special commodity. I was told back in 2001 that Joseph got picked up by a major agency, and his career could really take off at any time! So if you'd like to see him before "we knew him when" becomes a reality, it sounds to me like you'd better hurry!
