Sunday, April 26th, 8pm:

Ian Thal presents a staged reading of his five-act play, TOTAL WAR, at Cambridge's Outpost 186.

TOTAL WAR was a semi-finalist in the 2009 Dorothy Silver Playwriting Competition, and is set at a Catholic university where the student newspaper has published a Holocaust denial advertisement. While faculty and staff attempt to show solidarity with the small Jewish community on campus, an anarchist-cell using the nom de guerre of “Total War” begins a campaign of guerrilla art attacks before a predictable dialogue on free speech and religious pluralism can begin.

The reading will feature the talents of: Dale Appel, Anika M. Colvin-Hannibal, John M. Costa, Anthony DiBartolomeo, Mikey DiLoreto, Lou Fuoco, Kate Heffernan, Andrew Hicks, Lesley Anne Moreau, Krystle Spoon, and Tom Sprague.

The reading is an opportunity for an audience to listen to a stripped-down version of a work-in-progress followed by a talk-back.

Happy Spring!

I'm performing this Sunday, May 4th with i Sebastiani, "The Greatest
Commedia dell'Arte Troupe in the Entire World" as part of the May Day
celebrations at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA.

The scenario is entitled "Il Formaggio di Amore" and as well as
playing Arlecchino, I also served as choreographer.

The show begins at 5:30 in Sherman Hall on the Brandeis campus.

Admission is free, but as the event is sponsored by the Society for
Creative Anachronism, it is requested that all attendees come in some
attempt at pre-1600 dress.

Brandeis is accessible via commuter rail.

I wrote a blog entry about rehearsals and posted some photographs from
another i Sebastiani show:
