I've got two shows I'm directly involved in going on this weekend, and one only tangentially so, but I feel like plugging anyway.
First, I was the light designer on this:
THE MURDER OF CROWS
Inspired by the work of James O'Barr
Written and Directed by Bryan Enk
performed by
ADAM SWIDERSKI
BRITTON LAFIELD
and
JESSICA SAVAGE
10.30 pm
Friday, March 30/Saturday, March 31
$5.00
70 minutes with no intermission
The Brick Theater
575 Metropolitan Ave
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
L to Lorimer/G to Metropolitan/Grand
MORE INFO
Next, I'm acting in this, which will be at Coney Island, and on Opening Day of the season:
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!

And finally, I'll be doing the light design for two dance pieces by Rachel Cohen/Racoco Productions at The Brick next month.
