Shoes: A World Premiere Musical!

What happens when 7 very different people get stuck in an elevator and then decide to trade "shoes" for 6 months and see how the other half lives? You get this original, comical, hummable, huggable, musical: "SHOES"!

I appear as Jack Sloan the local hospital's surgeon trying to escape his families "assembly line medical" practice and the mold his father has set out to put him in. Jack's just looking to find a place to practice the true "art of medicine", and also learn how to just relax and have fun!!!

Night Blue Theater Presents: "La Cage Aux Folles"

Shawn Quinlan: Choreographer

Paul Packer: Director

David E. Walters: Assistant Director/Producer

Lesley Hoerner: Vocal Director

Based on a French film by Jean Poiret by the same name (that was also the inspiration for the 1996 hit film "The Birdcage"), La Cage aux Folles is a boisterous and uplifting celebration of family values. The musical tells the story of Albin and Georges, two middle-aged partners who run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez. Their outrageously resplendent peace turns to mayhem when their son announces that he is getting married--to the daughter of a local morals crusader!

Featuring a hilarious book by Harvey Fierstein and a score by composing legend Jerry Herman ("Hello, Dolly", "Mack and Mable", and "Dear World) the original Broadway production of La Cage aux Folles won six Tony Awards including Best Musical and ran for over four years in the mid-1980s.

"Cycle"- A New Work, Staged Reading with Hubris Productions

I am in a staged reading of a new play called "Cycle" with Hubris Productions. The play is about a young gay man, Jonathon, who stumbles into a laundry mat after a horrible car accident. He later finds out that he has died in that car accident and this is sort of a "waiting room" for the next life. Before he can go on to the next re-carnation he must clean his "dirty laundry" from the past.

I am playing the role of Jonathon, and am very excited! This show reads very well. Even though the main character is gay and deals with his relationships, I think this show has something in it to say to everyone: what would you do if you had a second chance?

Perfomance of "Cycle" is April 9th

Time: 7pm

Presented at: Rubin's Chicago Room Gallery Cafe

Address: 3318 N. Halsted

Suggested Donation: $5

Other readings will be at the same place and time on the following dates:

April 16, 23, 30th
