I am very excited to announce the release of a music video I produced/co-designed/directed for Tally Hall. The song is called “The Whole World and You,” off their album, “Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum.” The music video can be seen at Tally Hall’s website, www.tallyhall.com, starting on December 22nd. It will be within an episode from their webseries, a co-production between the band and Atlantic Records I’m back as an understudy puppeteer in “Madama Butterfly” at the Metropolitan Opera in NYC. It performs for the next few weeks, and will be back for a short stint in Feb/March of 2009. Go to www.metopera.org for tickets and more info. I am performing in “Ko’olau- A true story of Kaua’i” at La Mama ETC from September 18th-October 5th. Shows are Thursdays through Saturdays at 10PM and Sundays at 5:30PM. Tickets are available at the La Mama website. Using puppets and live animation, the performance tells the story of Kaluaiko’olau, a respected Hawai’ian paniolo (cowboy) who contracted leprosy and was forced to choose between his family and exile.
PinoKENSTEIN, The Musical (I play Pinokenstein) is currently playing in the Grand Theater, at the Producers Club Theatres in the Grand Theater. 358 West 44th street, between 8th and 9th ave. Performances are Tuesday, July 29th at 8PM, Sunday August 3rd at 2PM, and Friday August 8th at 8PM. Pinokenstein, neglected by Dr. Gepetto, only wants love, and will do anything to get it. Based upon the famed works of Mary Shelly and Carlo Collodi, Pinokenstein: the Musical horrifically explores our perception of life and creative ethics using stunning puppetry and brilliantly dark electronic rock.

Below is “Felix,” a huge chinchilla walk-around puppet that I designed and built for a film by Director, David Fishel. I also performed/sweated inside the suit for 2 100-degree days at a cemetery in New Jersey. It looks great so far, and I’ll be sure to post info on where to see it once it is completed. Photo by Kyle Fasanella I will be playing “Pinokenstein” in PinoKENSTEIN, The Musical at the Grand Theater, at the Producers Club Theaters. Show dates and times can be found here. I am excited to return to this role, after having performed it at the University of Connecticut in 2002. Hope to see you there… Pinokenstein, neglected by Gepetto, only wants love, and will do anything to get it… Based upon the famed works of Mary Shelly and Carlo Collodi, Pinokenstein: the Musical horrifically explores our perception of life and creative ethics using stunning puppetry and brilliantly dark electronic rock. The Barenaked Ladies Video I puppeteered in is now online! I performed various characters throughout the day, but was mainly on the otter drummer, with another puppeteer, Jeremy Eckman, performing the otter’s drumming hands. I’ll be in Chicago this coming weekend, performing for the new Barenaked Ladies music video, “Pollywog in a Bog,” a song from their new children’s album, “Snacktime.” |
I’m happy to be back performing in
