Thanks for indulging me in some off-topic news, but two of my loved ones have exciting things to share:
My feller, the twisted playwright/sexynerd/boy wonder, Matt Freeman, has a play opening soon here in NYC, which you won't want to miss. It's called GLEE CLUB (written before that show Glee ever existed, thankyouverymuch) and is a hilarious dark comedy with quite a lot of filthy language, a bit of singing, and ridiculously talented actors including Steve from Blues Clues "like you've never seen him before," as they say. It's up March 3rd - April 3rd, full info below:
Blue Coyote Theater Group proudly invites you to GLEE CLUB, Matthew Freeman’s hilarious comedy about a cut-throat men’s chorus on the verge of meltdown. A sold-out hit at the Antidepressant Festival at the Brick Theater in 2009, GLEE CLUB runs for 20 performances at the Access Theater in Tribeca, opening Mar. 3.Tickets are $25.Previews (Wed., Mar. 3–Fri., Mar 5 @ 8pm) are $15.IF YOU ORDER BY Mar. 3, ticket code WEDS10 can get you unlimited $10 tickets to any WEDNESDAY performance throughout GLEE CLUB’s run! That’s almost 60% off the regular ticket price, but this offer ends once we open so order now!
You can order tickets thru Smarttix at http://www.smarttix.com/show. aspx?EID=&showCode=GLE1 or find out more about the show and order tickets at http://www.bluecoyote.org (and check out the progress on our sparkly new website!)
