See I A... - This action-comedy just wrapped shooting on 3/10 and will be screened on April 4th and 5th. Check out the trailer below in the video section. Many thanks go out to Jill Ahrold, Imagine Me, and Big Colums Productions for putting this all together. Click the image below for all the details.

I'd like to make note of an upcoming benefit for the Shooting Stars program at PS 87 which will feature the previews of both Imagine Me shorts as well as the classic film, Some Like it Hot. Proceeds will help provide scholarships for kids to participate in theatre and film production!

Season 10: February Showcases - presented by The Actor's Project NYC. Although some scenes and sketches will be performed in both showcases, the majority of the content will be different.

• Just for Giggles - An all-comedy showcase featuring sketches, scenes, and monologues. I take part in several scenes and play a couple of funny characters. I even get my butt kicked a little bit! Good times.
  
  

  Monday | February 18th | 7:30 PM The Abingdon Theatre - 312 W. 36th St. (bet. 8th/9th) MAP Admission: $25/$30 - TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE DISCOUNTED TICKETS FOR A LIMITED TIME!

  
  
• Theatre of the Diverse - A combination of dramatic and comedic sketches, scenes, and monologues. I take part in a couple of things again here, one of which will be a repeat from the Just for Giggles showcase; the other is only being done at Theatre of the Diverse.
  
  

  Monday | February 25th | 7:30 PM The Abingdon Theatre - 312 W. 36th St. (bet 8th/9th) MAP Admission: $25/$30 - TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE DISCOUNTED TICKETS FOR A LIMITED TIME!

January Staged Readings - I have just completed two readings.

• The Society for Saving Men - A very intense play about men, masculinity, and gender role expectations in our society and runs the gamut from old to young, gay to straight to cross-dresser.
  
  I read the part of Blake, who is a troubled, troubled young man with a drug problem and emotional issues. It's really far away from any part I've ever played. Since this isn't a full-scale production, all of the actors will essentially be reading from the scripts, so it's going to be a little different than what most of you would think of as theatre. As you can guess from the title, it's got a lot of profanity and fairly gruesome dialogue. I wouldn't suggest bringing the kiddies.
  
  
  • Reading took place on Wednesday, 1/16!
    
    
• The Virgin, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - An emotional comedy that begs the question, can the Wicked Witch and the Virgin Mary be civil, let alone sisters? In a different take on the typical culture clash story, two estranged half-sisters, one Catholic and one Wiccan, struggle to fulfill their father's last wish in order to receive their inheritance and in the process challenge every belief either of them has ever known.
  
  Again, this one is a reading and not a full production. I will be the reading the stage directions and also three character parts throughout the play. (It's fun when I have to switch between characters and stage directions in successive lines...almost like a split personality.)
  
  
  • Reading took place on Friday, 1/18!
