CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!

Hello All You People…

I am proud to announce my new project, THE MEET! I coerced 10 theater/production companies into representing themselves over four nights at Center Stage, NY.

Each company will represent themselves in scenes no longer than 20 minutes. No other limitations on style or theme was given. Come out and see what these companies come up with, and cheer your favorite company on.

This is an exhibition, not a competition. But since each company has their own audience, own style, own reputations… and all on one stage. Well, I doubt they will do anything less than put their best foot forward.

Just added: STAGE OF FIENDS will be providing a nightly burlesque-y variety act named “The Witching Hour Burlesque”, which will feature flech, erotic poetry and theatre!

The Witching Hour Burlesque will start at exactly 7:30PM, all nights of THE MEET. This is for ADULTS ONLY! Attendance is optional with your ticket.

THE MEET takes place August 18th through the 21st, 2010 @8 PM. Here is the schedule:

AUGUST 18th & AUGUST 20th 2010:

Lighthouse Theatre Company presents…

 Observations of Hindsight

Observations of Hindsight combines live theatre and film to tell the story

A second that will change everything about the way you feel when walking the
streets of this city.

Written by Anthony Caronna

Anthony Caronna, Zach Galligan, Jonathan Tracey, Olivia Caronna, and Ethan Clarke

Boomerang theatre Company presents…

 How to Speak Man

 In the entire history of theater, from the Greeks to Shakespeare to

Shaw to the Wilson brothers (August and Lanford), only one play has

proclaimed itself the best of them all, a play born to increase our

understanding of ourselves, our souls and our world. This play,

however, is just funny and silly.

Written by Sharyn Rothstein

Directed by Ric Sechrest

With: Douglas Giorgis*, Ric Sechrest*, Dave Koenig, and Mark Souza

STuFF Happens

 STuFF FiLMS is a smorgasbord of scintillating, splendiferous, socially irreverent and somewhat silly string of sketches…so

enjoy!
