Stuff to Do

I don’t have much to report. I’m feeling oddly peaceful, despite shifts in the tectonic plates all around me and being sort of kind of unemployed, there’s a stillness to my center that hasn’t been there for a long time. It’s… refreshing.

Treasure Island is pretty much up and running. Matey. It’s a fun show. Go see it.

Various and sundry readings are coming up:

First Up:

The New Musical Fund Under the direction of Charlie Fink and Matt Wolf Presents a Staged Reading of:

The Wonderful World of Zidney
A new musical comedy by Shawn Northrip and Mike Pettry
Directed by Me
Featuring Toni Rae Brotons, Michael John Casey, John Dow, Michael Grew, Jillian Locklear, Jennie Lutz, Alessandra Migliaccio, Joe Pindelski, Casie Platt, Kelly Tighe and Bobby Smith, as Ike Meisner

The tragic fall of the most powerful man in show business unleashes boardroom savagery of legendary proportions, as the mighty never fall alone.

Monday, December 10, at 7:30 pm.
MetroStage
1201 N. Royal St.
Alexandria, VA
(703) 548-9044

Soon afterwards:

The next week we have an encore performance of Titus! The Musical at the Black Cat. “Not again?!” you say? But wait! Marybeth Fritzky and Jason Stiles will be reprising the roles that made them hot stuff and furthermore made them hot for each other. Or so I like to say. I mean, really? They were meant to be together and the forces aligning them were far greater than mere mortals can claim to know, but I like to think that Titus helped things along somehow. One way or the other, the show was the start of many great things for me: my collaborations with Shawn, my undying love for Joe Pindelski, and friendships with MB and Stiles that have gotten me through many a rough spell. Booyah.

Here’s the scoop:
