Don Giovanni Tonight, Don Carlo Tomorrow

don_splashcard_med

Greg has been cast as Thomas in the Sacred Fools Theater Company’s world-premiere production of Don Giovanni Tonight, Don Carlo Tomorrow. (Written by Dennis Miles, Directed by Kiff Scholl) It's all about the goings-on backstage at a regional opera house during an unprecedented performance of Don Carlo... or is it Don Giovanni? There are 18 roles (one of which is silent), 17 of which are on stage almost the entire play. It's Altman-esque to say the least. Oh, and there's a dog. I think this show is going to both amaze and offend.

SHOW DATES: SEPTEMBER 17 - OCTOBER 17, 2010.
Fridays & Saturdays @ 8pm, Sundays @ 7pm (no performance Sunday, September 19)

New York Musical Theatre Festival

nymf_logo2

Greg has been cast in a series of NYMF Micro-Musicals as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival 2007.  These three minute-long musical appetizers are bookended by the typical pre-show curtain speech, bursting "spontaneously" out of expected announcements about cell phones and candy wrappers. The MicroMusicals ensemble is seated undetectably among regular NYMF patrons.  No announcement will be made as to what shows the MicroMusicals will be performed at, making them a surprising and exclusive bonus for audience members lucky enough to be present at one of them.
