So…the latest episode of Monster Literature, “Robin Hood: Prince of…MONSTERS!” closed this past weekend, and it went fantastic-goric. It was a huge step for whole the gang- in terms of production, performance and especially audience! With most of our 8 shows sold out over the 2 weekends, nearly 400 Park Slope kids and parents got [...]
As reported yesterday on Vanishing New York, the Village Paper Store- IMHO the best place to buy ridiculous old-school comedy props in NYC- has burnt down.
Let me just say I loved this store. Back when I was doing sketch comedy, it was the first place I’d turn whenever I needed a ludicrous and hilarious object. [...]
Before the turn of 2010, myself and fellow playwright Maya Macdonald assembled a rag tag group of playwrights to meet weekly and share and talk about the kind of work we’re all doing. We’re currently one month in, and going strong!
One of the many things I’m enjoying (besides the fact that everyone is hilarious) is [...]
My review of the Gotham Chamber Opera’s “Il Mondo Della Luna” is up on nytheatre.com.
You can read it here.
If you can swing a ticket, I highly recommend it. Opera in the planetarium! Who could ask for anything more?
Earlier this month, my good friend Annie Levy’s directing class at PACE University did a one-act festival (See what I did there with the title? See that? Eh? Ehhhh).
Two one-acts of mine were featured as part of it: Dizzy Dizzy Dingo Breath’s Bad Day and Gibbins. Having seen these performed before, and having been a [...]
My first blog entry on the massively awesome opera blog Parterre Box has posted.
It’s a review of a DVD of Walter Felsenstein’s film of Verdi’s Otello.
You can read it here.
Here’s hoping I get to do more in the future…
So…the reading of PLAGUED happened Monday night, and boy howdy, was I proud. The show is in great shape- there’s still work to be done, but it’s a giant leap from where we were back in July. We had a great turn out, and the cast gave it all they had, and now we proceed [...]
Little news, folks: My short play Practical Origami, which I recorded a while back as a piece of audio theatre, was included last week on the fantastic podcast “The Road 2 Shambala.”
Once again, the cast is:
Narrator- Hal Fickett
Sherrie- Carrie Getman
The Origami Crane- Rory Sheridan
The Government- Giverny Petitmermet, Anna Derr and Jared Stern
With original music [...]
My review for the New Victory Theatre’s Hansel and Gretel- imported fresh and terrifying from Scotland- is now up on Nytheatre.com.
You can check it out here.
If you read this, and you have children, and you think this school of parenting is ridiculous, I think you should check it out.
Yesterday, I went down to Washington DC for the National Equality March, because I believe all people should have all of their rights (What a concept!).
Below are some pictures I took along the way. You can also check out a play by play of how it all went down (up until the point when my [...]
