While I am in town for a minute before another rehearsal, I thought I would post a link to pictures of an art show I am in this month. It is called Patterns of Behavior and it is at Booklyn Art Gallery in Greenpoint. The show is curated by Aimee Lusty, and she is awesome. Check it out if you are in the neighborhood!

summer funtimes!
Well, I have left Charlottesville and I am now in the woods of Vermont for the month of June. I am camping with a bunch of nice folks on a big wooded piece of property, and we are putting together a musical. It is called Less Miserable. I made the promotional posters, which you can see above. I am also going to be doing quite a bit of singing in the play! We have been working on this for weeks now and I can assure you that it is going to be completely awesome. I guess that is what happens when you have so many super talented punks working on one project 12 hours a day for a month! Come see it if you can! Here is the press release:
For the entire month
of June 2012, over seventy underground artists from around the country have
converged in the woods of northern Vermont to mount a monumentally ambitious
and unabashedly DIY adaptation Victor Hugo’s epic novel about post-Napoleonic
France. This operatic take on Hugo’s sweeping narrative comes complete with
badass musical arrangements, a 20’ diameter revolving stage, and a cast,
crew, and set requiring 3 veggie-oil school buses for transportation. After
opening in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, the production will tour for one week
along the I-95 corridor.
Celebrate US Independence Day by
remembering the failed Parisian rebellion of 1832! Save the dates!
