The last four performances of DEMONOLOGY, featuring my production of sixsixsix by Gregory S. Moss, are this Weds and Fri-Sun. Come see it. Here’s what Flavorpill had to say when they made us the Editor Pick for theater in Brooklyn: “Given that you’re essentially in an abandoned warehouse, the “anything could happen” atmosphere amplifies this show into absolutely must-see terriftory. We’ll leave it there; to say anything else would be to spoil the brilliant fever-dream you’re in for with Demonology.”

You can get tickets and show info here.

“It’s not about genre – I’ll go see any kind of play – it’s more about creating a unique, unsummarizible event that has some lingering human fingerprints on it.” Greg Moss, in an interview with Adam Szymkowicz. He’s writing my next project, sixsixsix.

A production photo taken by Jim Moore of The Dreams in the Witch House. There’s another shot if you follow the link. The show went really great!

I don’t know how I feel someone coming in, taking photos of a performance I created without my permission, and then offering to sell me the pictures for $15 a pop. It’s certainly an effective business strategy, but it makes me feel a little used. Still, they’re good photos.

“Whether the dreams brought on the fever or the fever brought on the dreams I do not know…”

This weekend I have a small new project going up as part of the Brick Theater’s Tiny Theater Festival, which features six 10-minute shows that all take place in a 6′x6′x6′ cube.

It’s called The Dreams in the Witch House, adapted from the H.P. Lovecraft story, and I’ll be doing the shadow puppetry. You can get tickets here, hope to see you there!

I have a new project coming up this month that you should check out. It’s called Something Wicked. It’s a night of horror-themed one-acts, with a three-course dinner included with the show. Lilla Cafe has 4 1/2 stars on Yelp, so it looks like it will be quite a delicious evening. Hope to see you there!

Next show: A staged reading of The Dying Days of Viktor Castle for Dreamscape Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 25th at 7:30pm. It’s at the 440 Studios’ Black Box, 440 Lafayette St. 4th floor. Hope to see you there!
