Long time no post…
Life has been crazy and there has been little time to visit the blog because I’ve been writing new material for this new theatrical series that I’ve been playing with.
Working title for the series is SATURDAYS IN THE DARK. I’ve been imagining it would be a thing…yeah…let’s just call it a “thing” for the time being…an experience???…yeah…let’s call it and “experience”…that would happen every few weeks – on saturday nights – that would involve performances of the creepy and the profane. Dark pieces. Horror pieces. Maybe a sci-fi piece or two. A party might follow. Food and drink and talk and digest the whole thing that has just been viewed.
Why Saturday nights? Saturday night was the one night of the week I would curl in front of my t.v. when I was a kid and get the hell creep-ed (crept?? 😉 out of me by the likes of “The Outer Limits” and “The Twilight Zone” and “Doctor Who” and “Night Gallery.”
Fellow writers Josh Cox, Mallory Westfall, and I have started working on some new pieces which are proving to be quite “grand guignol.” Very horrific. Sometimes funny. Often creepy. Certainly fun to write.
And before we start throwing it to the masses – I’ve decided to give a little party where our close friends, trusted colleagues, and long-time admirers (I’m sure we have at least a few – you lovely little heathens) where you would get a taste of these ghoulish pieces first.
The party begins at 9:30pm. The reading begins at 11:00pm. At midnight – there’ll be a champagne toast and the birthday bash will continue!
We’ll have food and drink, games and prizes, and a little live music!
It’s in QUEENS – but don’t let that SCARE YOU.
It’s near the Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue station – the second express stop off the E-Train and F-Train. You can also get there by taking the local R-Train to the same station or by taking the local 7-Train to 74 Street-Broadway (same station, different name for the stop).
The party’s at
4232 79th Street 2nd Floor
Elmhurst, NY 11373
There is a SUGGESTED DONATION of $10 – $15. FEEL FREE TO GIVE WHAT-YOU-CAN.
I’m hoping this proves to be a success and we can start looking at making this thing a more polished affair in the city – perhaps just after the start of the New Year.
Stay tuned for more details!
