The Lower East SideShow - Nov 22nd

As some of you know, I'm on the Board of Directors of The Deconstructive Theatre Project, a company dedicated to producing new work founded by my friend/roommate Adam J. Thompson. Last year our fall fundraiser was a reading of Lilies (we co-directed) and this year - we're putting on a Lower East Sideshow on November 22nd.

We're at The Delancey, with some cool performers like Passing Strange's Colman Domingo (who starred in Lilies last year), Eric Svejcar (Composer of the musical Caligula), and my boyfriend Kevin Curtis.

It should be a fun night, it's a really cool venue and they have 2-4-1 drink specials. Just $10 to get in, full details at the newly redesigned DTP website or on Facebook.

Odds & Ends

It's been a really busy week. We cast the upcoming reading of Street Lights and are gearing up for rehearsals, which start on May 11th. Here are a few odds & ends for a rainy Friday evening.

If you're looking for a show this weekend, check out the closing weekend of Prospect Theater Company's Golden Boy of the Blue Ridge, by Peter Mills. It's a new country/bluegrass musical that tells the story of The Playboy of the Western World. Prospect's productions are top-notch and this was no exception. We saw it earlier this month and really enjoyed it.

I'm on The Board of Directors of The Deconstructive Theatre Project, a company founded by my good friend & roommate Adam J. Thompson. Last year we co-directed a trendy benefit performance of the French-Canadian play Lilies for the company and we're planning another fundraiser this year.

Adam is developing a new project about the "changing American scientific and cultural landscape during the development of the atomic bomb." Should be pretty cool. Check out their April Newsletter for all the latest and join them on Facebook.
