We closed our evening of one-acts at Theatre at the Glen to a full house. Thank you to everyone who participated both on and off stage. I think a good time was had by all.
A Christmas Carol at Theatre Three opens in two weeks (is that possible?!). Once again, Jeffrey Sanzel is offering incredibly-priced tickets for LI performers. The show is just wonderful and I say this not only as an actor in the current production, but also as a long-time audience member (22 years). It never ceases to choke me up at the end and it's the best way to usher in the holiday season that I know of. The cast all hope to see you there. With 50+ performances and discounted tickets, there's just no excuse.

NEW CALLS
Dominique Bouchard, Casting Director
New “SECRET” game show, HONEY, PLEASE!, from the producers of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and The Newlywed Game is looking for unique couples/families with LOTS of personality (we’re looking for really FUN and ADVENTUROUS people). Contestants will open-up their homes and pick an UNKNOWING teammate in their family (husband/wife, fiancé, boyfriend/girlfriend, children) to be their accomplice in this hilarious challenge of wit and task (CASTING IN NY/NJ ONLY AND YOU MUST LIVE TOGETHER). The show is a fun, lighthearted, comedic, hidden camera show, where you have to convince your UNKNOWING teammate to complete several tasks. And the tasks are things they would not normally do, i.e. laundry, a fitness work out tape, making you dinner, giving you a back massage, spending time with the family, taking care of the pets etc. (the weirder the better). For every task he or she completes, you win cash and prizes. As the tasks get progressively harder, the cash and prizes increase. You can win $12K+ in CASH and PRIZES!! BUT your secret teammate has no idea they are being filmed or competing (you will be disqualified if you don’t keep it confidential, so don’t tell your secret teammate or anyone that would tell them…including kids)!
Please contact us ASAP. To get more info and to apply for the show email: casting.honeyplease@gmail.com

This haunted pirate-themed guided walkthrough at the new CAP is theatrical, creepy and lots of fun. There’s entertainment at every level – over your head, under your feet and some “on the water” in a pirate ship. Every inch of the space, inside and outside, is packed with things to see and hear. Each of the rogues you meet inside have their own sordid story to tell you - and they throw themselves into it a hundred percent. Go for some giggles and some chills.
Well done, maties! Arrrrr.
Roe Kurtz at the opening performance of All My Sons at The Stage, Merrick, Saturday night.
I had read the script before seeing the show, but reading it doesn’t give you a hint of the power in this play.
The family is in the grip of a crisis resurfacing from their recent past. Arnold Sabino is nothing short of amazing as the tormented businessman, husband and father. Sandy Gart as his loving, haunted wife provides a gentle yet undeniable counterpoint to his bluster and domination. Rian Romeo as their conflicted son and Danielle Crinnion as his girlfriend are heartbreaking in their difficult and multilayered roles. Derek McLaughlin as the good-natured neighbor brings a buoyancy that pulls you toward his character, while you wonder if he’s quite in touch with the reality all around him.
It’s quite an evening of theater. Don’t miss this show – and don’t forget to bring tissues.
