Somnia

Hello dear blog-reading person. This blog (very surprisingly) falls really close to my last blog post. Maybe I'm getting better at this blog thing? Maybe I should give up everything else and become a social media guru? Maybe I just have more going on these days? Who knows?

The reason for this particular blog post is to tell you all about a short film I did a while back (back in the time of goatee and long hair). It just recently got finished and looks great. It's called "Somnia" and it was directed by Joe Spit and stars myself along with Rob Holiday, Henrik Korman, Amy Young and Heir Director Joe Spit.

Here it is!

Wasn't that great?!

The film is going to a couple of festivals, which is cool. That's it for now dear reader. Remember to look at my previous blog post and follow the instructions of seeing me in a show this weekend. Ta!

Mind the Art Anthology Vol II

And we're back. After a holiday break of not doing so many things (except for writing when I get the chance), I'm back doing a show with Mind the Art Entertainment. It is one half of a series called A Mind the Art Anthology Vol II. Why Vol II


Well, because we did Vol I last year in the spring. That was the Vol that featured my full-length piece Die.


Both of these wonderful Vols were and are to be held at the La Mama E.T.C. which is a great theatre down on E 4th Between 2 & 3. 

I am in the piece called Story Time with Mr. Butterman (that disturbed man that lives in your park) Fables for Adults Living in a Modern World which is certainly the longest titled play that I've ever been in so far.


The show is a compilation of poetry, music and theatre, all written on the theme of adult fairy tales or fables that have some bearing on life as we know it. I wrote one of the pieces called The Emperor's New...Weapon of Mass Destruction. The show runs Jan 28, 29 & 30 (Friday & Saturday at 10pm, Sunday at 5:30pm).

The other piece that is part of this Vol is called A Woman in Progress


and is written and performed by my lovely soon-to-be-wife Keelie Sheridan. This show runs Jan 21 & 22 (both performances at 10pm).

Tickets for both of these shows can be purchased at the La Mama
