ASTRO BOY: Video Clip!

Hey everyone,

 

I’m waiting on the final edits of Astro Boy and the God of Comics! But I’m getting too antsy to not reveal any video – so here is a sample clip of what went down in WASHINGTON, DC this Winter! Here are clips taken from the preview week.

 

Enjoy!

 

Calling all actors: ANDY’S PLAYHOUSE auditions begin this weekend in NH!

I’m starting to get real excited for the upcoming summer season at Andy’s Summer Playhouse in Wilton, NH! Auditions begin this weekend!

 

If you are a child with a keen imagination and a willingness to be goofy and inspiring while also having the courage to tell unbelievable stories shedding light into human behavior and everyone’s need to dream big? Yeah, then this is where you need to be this summer.

 

I’ll be writing and directing the first show of the summer, THE BFG, and am in the process of creating a pretty drastic remodeling of the story….

 

My adaptation will be filled with chapters from THE BFG, sprinkling a subplot from WHEN THE VERTICAL WORLD BECOMES HORIZONTAL and adding the story of Jack, a child living as one of the MOLE PEOPLE in the subways of NYC who just wants to build a garden. The story will take place in all 5 borroughs of NYC and hopefully create a nice little allegory that fulfills the themes and stylings of Roald Dahl and his fantastic book.

 

Here is a trailer I made for the Winter Gala…. Moving from last year’s adapation of THE LOST WORLD into a world of Giants and NYC’s finest underground…

 

 

 

See you this summer!
