Here is a little preview for A Very Orphan Christmas: a sketch show I helped write and am in that is coming up at Magnet Theater this Thursday at 7PM!  Here is the description:

When a group of ragtag orphans receive a new member into the fold, they have to explain to him the true meaning of Christmas through a magical musical journey - join us - for a bit of Magnet Theater Christmas Magic!

Eee!  Exciting!  And check out the tags to this post for a hint of who I’m playing in the show… ;)

Hey everyone,

Hope you’re all enjoying this absolutely beautiful day.  I wanted to let you know about some awesome creative stuff I’m involved in this month that I think you’d all enjoy.

I am doing a run with the amazing theater company I’m in, The Story Pirates.  We are a group of comedians and actors that take stories written by kids and make them into a hilarious sketch-comedy musical variety show.  If you haven’t seen me perform in this amazing show yet, you have four whole chances this month!

What: The Striking Viking Story Pirates Main Stage Show
When: Saturday April 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th @ 2PM
Where: The Arthur Selene Theater at The Drama Bookshop - 250 West 40th Street btw 7th and 8th Ave
Web: www.storypirates.org - email friendtix@storypirates.org for discount tickets!

Also, I have helped direct an awesome one woman comedic show called Hope that is at The Magnet Theater this month!  Hope is about a young mother-to-be who confronts the realities of pregnancy in her interactions with 5 amusing women, each with their own unique set of maternal issues.  It’s good, funny stuff and I’m very proud to be part of it.

What: Hope
When: Tuesday April 6th & 20th @ 8:30PM
