American Bomber recently played the Film Anthology Archives on January 19, 2011 in New York. It has turned out to be a slick short film that I am proud to have been in. I get to play a psychopath which is an amazing opportunity and a lot of fun.
Hopefully, American Bomber will screen again somewhere soon.

I've been cast as Nicely-Nicely Johnson in Sierra Repertory Theatre's Guys and Dolls in Northern California. The show will be directed by Dennis Jones with Choreography by Russell Garrett. I'm really looking forward to this job as Nicely-Nicely is a role I've been wanting to play for quite some time. I'm also excited to work with Dennis as I'm a big fan. And I am equally thrilled to be working once again with Russell Garrett, having previously played Mary Sunshine for him in Art Center of Coastal Carolina's production of Chicago.
Guys and Dolls plays February 6th thru March 28th, 2010.

Ben Strothmann, Kubbi, Shashone Lambert, and Julia Sun in Isaiah's Dream at The Shooting Star Theatre
I recently finished directing Isaiah's Dream - A Parade of Poets for New York Artists Unlimited in association with Montuak Theatre Productions. The following is from the press release for the show:
Isaiah's Dream is inspired by a little boy who took part in NY Artists "Voices of Loisaida" workshop at Downeast Arts Center on Manhattan's Lower East Side. He came from an area where he feared every day for his life, living amidst gunfire and drug deals gone wrong. At the end of the workshop, he composed a stirring poem about Martin Luther King, Jr. and what he did for all Americans.
The play begins with Isaiah struggling with a homework assignment on poetry, complaining he doesn't know what relevance poetry could possibly have to his life. He is awakened by Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, who tells him about his life and struggles in India, then recites a poem. Tagore introduces: Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos, Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, Brooklyn poet Walt Whitman, French poet Hilaire Belloc, American poets Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, and Nikki Giovanni, Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet, Japanese poet Kaneko Mitsuharu, Indian poet Rumi, Argentinean poet Jorge Luis Borges, Chinese poet Wu Men, and others. Finally, Langston Hughes appears, who speaks directly to Isaiah's life experience. In the end, Isaiah finds his own voice and speaks the poem about Martin Luther King.
Isaiah's Dream currently features Lynn McCune, Ben Strothmann, Kubbi, and Shashone Lambert.
Isaiah continues to perform for free in and around the tri-state area. For more info visit www.nyartists.org
