The Flea
Assistant Director: Atomic City by Anson Mount
On January 11 The Flea hosted a reading of Atomic City by Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels) directed by Leon Ingulsrud (SITI Company) and featuring the BATS. It’s a twisted take on Our Town with a really great creative team behind it and I was honored to assist one of my former teachers of Suzuki/Viewpoints and, well, one of my favorite actors.Posted in: Director, Plays, Resident Artist, ShowsComments: No commentsTags: Grand Guignol, New York City, René Berton, The Flea
Winner of the first Cutthroat Duel at The Flea
With 51% of the votes – more than the other two plays combined – Tics or Doing the Deed has aced the first cutthroat duel at The Flea and will be returning for an extended three weeks run in January! It will be a great opportunity to implement all those details we really wanted to see when rehearsal time ran out. Stay tuned!Posted in: Director, Plays, Resident Artist, ShowsComments: No commentsTags: Grand Guignol, New York City, René Berton, The Flea
Director: The Cutthroat Series at The Flea
The Flea is producing a series of Grand Guignol plays in the fall and I will direct Tics, or Doing the Deed by René Berton, a grotesque and sexy farce that stages marital revenge: "an eye for an eye, a hump for a hump." The show, which will include two other short pieces in the same genre, will run from September 23 to October 5. Auditions are next week and I look forward to announcing the full cast by the end of July!Posted in: Director, Plays, ReadingsComments: No commentsTags: Graham Parkes, New York City, NYU Tisch, The Flea
