The Society for Saving Men (formerly, Dick Shtick)
The first is 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.
Here are the details:
- Wednesday, January 16th, 2008
- 6 PM (arrive around 5:45) and will be followed by a Q&A
- 1501 Broadway (at 44th, right next to the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square)
- 7th floor, Room 710
- Admission is FREE
If you would like to attend, please send me an email as there is very limited seating.
The Virgin, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
The second is 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 have ever known.
Again, this one is a reading and not a full production. I will be the Stage Reader and also read three character parts throughout the play. I haven't even seen the script in total yet, so I don't have much more to go on at this point than that.
Here are the details:
- Friday, January 18th, 2008
- 8 PM (arrive around 7:45)
- 12 W. 45th Street (Bet. 5th & 6th Aves.)
