Oh, right, and one more reading I'm performing in that is coming up, which I should promote, featuring a sizable group of "The Brick Theater Irregulars and All-Stars," most of whom I didn't even know were participating (I should pay more attention):
There is only one way to observe this coming APRIL FOOL’S DAY . . .
And that’s at CONEY ISLAND USA!
. . . where Trav S.D. and company will read a new adaptation of
THE CONFIDENCE MAN
Herman Melville’s epic tribute to the American tradition of swindles, hoaxes, practical jokes and blarney.
April 1, 2007 marks the 150th anniversary –- to the day -- of the publication of Melville’s experimental masterwork, his last novel published during his lifetime, which pits the eponymous “Con Man” (Trav S.D.) against a series of marks on a Mississippi riverboat, played by Fred Backus, Danny Bowes, Hope Cartelli, Maggie Cino, Bryan Enk, Michael Gardner, Richard Harrington, Ian W. Hill, Devon Hawks Ludlow, Michael O’Brien, Robert Pinnock, and Art Wallace. Directed by Jeff Lewonczyck. Who is this shape-shifting anti-hero? Satan? An angel? Or six different fast-talking flim-flam men? You decide.
All PROCEEDS OF THE EVENT WILL GO TO BENEFIT CONEY ISLAND USA, producer of the CONEY ISLAND CIRCUS SIDESHOW and the MERMAID PARADE. As you may know, Coney Island will be undergoing a major transformation over the next couple of years. Come find out the real skinny on what’s going on out there and help support the traditional art of American sideshow!
