EDGAR ALAN AND POE GOES FORWARD


Our newest musical "Edgar Alan and Poe" goes forward. We have about fifteen days before opening night and a lot of the show is really going nicely. We have a few rough spots and not everyone is off-book yet, but all in all, John Nugent and I are quite happy with the results. We have an excellent cast who have together some absolutely amazing talent between them and individually. Our cast includes Timothy Bergen as "Benjamin Franklin", Bryce Kidman as "Alan", Zane Grogan as "Poe" and my dear partner John Nugent who stepped into the role of "Edgar" about two weeks ago. The music is very Sherman Brothers -esque and thats a good thing, Cat Deobler plays the parts of Mrs. Brown and Lanore and our dear friend David Marc plays Burt the Bartender, The Strong Armed Man and King George III. The play is a musical fantasy that is based on historical fact. Benjamin Franklin and John Adams went to their graves despising one another based only a late life encounter in France while Ben was serving as Ambassador to France. The French, then, as they are today are very laid back and "Bon Vivant" and no amount of hard diplomacy will get them to change their lifestyle. Disney found this out the hard way while they were trying to run Disneyland Paris in those early years of 1990's. So on we go to a November 1st Opening at the Actor's Garden Theatre at 1306 North Wilton Place in Los Angeles. Today is also the 93rd anniversary of "The Miracle of The Sun" when our Dearest Mother of God appeared for the last time to the three children of Fatima and gave the world a miracle that thousands witnesssed in both delight and fear. The Mother of God has always been my champion. My dear heavenly friend. I just know that she pleads my case before God more than I ever realize. So come out and see our newest musical and bring your friends. Dinner with a show is just $25.00
