Go see Michael Hirstreet in MY BROKEN BRAIN http://www.mybrokenbrain.net/. Sad to say Michael was only with us briefly. This amazing young talent was way to busy with some great projects for us to hold him down. Now playing at the The Players Loft @ 115 MacDougal St. 3rd Fl., New York N.Y. 10012
Show Times Remaining: 8/27 Friday 5:45 PM & 8/28 Saturday 10:00 PM. The revies so far have been great http://adaumbellesquest.com/2010/08/15/review-mbb/
Today (8/23/10) is opening night for former EIGHT member Killy Dwyer in GIRL BALLS FREE at the Edinburgh Fringe. Killy was a valuable member of the cast for over a year in our early days at the Laugh Factory. If you are over seas anywhere in Europe, jet set over to see this amazing show that has already taken NYC by storm. http://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/music/girl-balls-free
Know any other former cast members at the festivals let us know!
I was never impressed with the idea of THE FRINGE festivals until I participated last year. Well, to be fair I did not have a huge respect for showcases in general. Moved to NYC in 1997 already with a couple paid jobs under my belt. Mostly DT and church gigs, but I have always been anti-non-paid gigs. But it was just recently that I realized how good and innovative and artistic the theater becomes in many of these situations. Or perhaps, although fun, I discovered how non-artistic working on a TV or commercial set can be. I think every artist defines "Living the Dream" in their own way. I used to think it would be being on Broadway or at the MET Opera. Now I realize being able to create real characters and experiencing the world thru fresh eyes while not having to work in restaurants is pretty much a dream come true. Bway and the MET would be a bonus right now. Anyway, if you have not had the pleasure of checking out the NYC Fringe or others, please do. If you are an up and coming artist, this is a must check out festival. Going on last summer - LAST MINUTE - as an understudy I received more critical acclaim than anything else in 10+ years of professional work. And I was just there as a back up for an ailing talent. Plus the chances I would otherwise get to work on a stage like the Minetta Lane are slim to none.

"Walt Frasier ... gave the best-sung and most assured performance to be found in the show.... His supple baritone and confident manner gave the show an anchoring dramatic weight."
