Hooray! After fifteen years on the shelf,
When Hell Freezes Over will finally
have its World Premiere February 2006 at Beari Productions in Middle Village, NY! More as it develops ...
The Stevens Dramatic Society
of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ, gave an excellent
presentation
Standard Deviation November 11-13, 2004,
at DeBaun Auditorium on the Stevens campus.
The director is long-time friend and colleague
Christina
Cass! On the12th they hosted a Q&A with Christina,
the cast and myself. The SDS was a joy to work with! |
Type A just garnered an Honorable Mention distinction from Stage 3 Theatre Company's Eighth Annual Festival of New Plays. From out of 266 entries, it made the top 25. Although it didn't make the finals, they were kind enough to forward some glowing
comments!! You can read some of the highlights by clicking here. |
Not Merely Players, a professional not-for-profit theatre of inclusion, is looking to produce Nobody Knows I'm a Dog in their 2005-06 season. Not Merely Players is, at its core, of, by, and for men, women and children with disabilities -- though they do not do works about
disabilities. To quote Artistic Director Gene-Gabriel Moore:
... we stage plays in which the theme is "disabilities" and plays in which disabilities or disability issues are mentioned not at all. On my stage talented actors with disabilities perform side-by-side with talented non-disabled actors. That is a must in the professional wing of NMP, where at least one major role is played by a person with visible disabilities. More on this production as it develops! |

The cast included NKIAD alums Miriam P. Denu, Sylvia Vinall
and Dolores Voyer. Also on board were Bob Acerno, Rene Bendana, Ted
Frank and Donald Gormanly. The show was an overall blast! Kudos

| The good folk at Theater 199 in Sophia, Bulgaria, have taken Nobody
Knows I'm a Dog out for a walk -- specifically the theater festival
in Blagoevgrad on May 17th, as well as the
International
Theatrical Festival "Varna Summer" on June 8 and 9! |
| F2F had been
chosen Winner of the Joyce Dutka Arts
Foundation 2002 Playwrights' Award! They held a wonderful reading
on May 19th, 2003, at the Irish Arts Center. The reading featured the talents
of Mary Testa and Ron Palillo, and was directed by Shari Upbin. The
show got great audience reaction, and Mary, Shari and Ron were not only super
talents but some of the nicest people I've ever had the honor to work with! |

| The New York City Off-off Broadway production of
Nobody Knows I'm a Dog finally closed
after an 8-month run. The show opened November 3rd, 2002, at
The Red Room, and
transferred uptown to The Producers Club where it played its last
performance. Of course, the show is still available to anyone wanting
to produce it ... |
| And, just so you know that it's still out there and kickin', Nobody
Knows I'm a Dog was just selected as a finalist in the
2002 New Century Writer Awards.
Okay -- it was a Quarter-Finalist. But, to quote them: "To be listed on his
page [of finalists] is an accomplishment." |
| Dullsville has just
pulled out of the gate and won honors (third place, actually) at Columbia
Entertainment Company's 2002 Jackie White Memorial National Children's
Playwriting Contest. |

An outstanding review of Parkside Player's production of Second
Bananas was published in the Queens Ledger.
You can read it here. |
| There was another unauthorized production of Nobody Knows I'm a Dog
out there (or, to be precise, Niemand weiß, dass ich ein Hund bin) at
the Fachhochschule (Kreuzberg), Audimax in Zweibrücken. I have no further
information about the production, who is doing it or which language it is
in. If ANYONE knows anything about this, please let me know. |
| The Parkside Players
in Forest Hills, New York, finished their production of Crap
in March, 2002, and it was a huge success! Reviews were very positive
and attendances were high! Keep in mind that the play was renamed
Second Bananas to accommodate. |
