REVISED WEB SITE COMING SOON I'm hoping to revise the City of Kik Web site very soon, I just need time to make it happen. The hard part is getting the initial redesign finished and running so I have a template that I can update on a frequent and regular basis. I want the new site to promote my acting and writing projects in a user-friendly way. It'll be a way to formalize and professionalize the City of Kik Entertainment brand while also serving as a marketing tool for my personal projects. And I'll have a new blog to go along with it with much more frenquent journal entries. My recent and current projects include: 1. AGNES OF GOD - Keith Maxwell and I produced this show, directed by Tal Aviezer, for Center Stage Playhouse in the Bronx. We had our preview performance last night and it was wonderful. For ticket information, please call 718-823-6434. The movie version in the early 1980s starred Anne Bancroft, Meg Tilly, and Jane Fonda. 2. CENTER STAGE - Speaking of Center Stage, I'm on the Board of Directors and next year is the 40th Anniversary of the group. So we're trying to come up with a very special season. More news as it develops. 2. DARKNIGHT PRODUCTIONS - I'm happy to continue to be involved with this independent Manhattan theater group. I performed a monologuefrom John Patrick Shanley's SAVAGE IN LIMBO a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. I'm hoping to write a new short play for one of their upcoming anthology productions, and I'm currently reading an original full-length script by Kevin Clancy called GREAT DEPRESSION. There's a cool part in it for me, so fingers crossed. 3. DREAM FRAGMENTS - Even though the grant didn't come through, I'm still hoping to eventually produce a full production of my anthology script. I've been rewriting it and I'm investigating the logistics and costs of putting it up in Manhattan. This will happen eventually, the only question now is when. It will be the first official City of Kik Entertainment theater production. 4. LEVEL 92 PRODUCTIONS - I acted in two short films with this new independent film company, and I've been invited to a screening reception later this month to viiew the final cuts. Should be exciting! 5. THE WATER CYCLE - Speaking of Level 92, my four short "water-themed" screenplays are on their development slate and should begin pre-production soon. I've submitted the scripts for a local grant and I should know by June whether or not I'll get any money for it. Either way I think this will be one of the next Level 92 film projects, and the first official City of Kik Entertainment movie! 6. WRITERS GROUP - It's been tough to coordinate an official big writers group since I've been so busy lately, so Vin Forgione and I have decided to meet regularly even if it's just the two of us. We'll work on the Web site and our own multiple writing projects, and hopefully we'll have some finished material soon to share with everyone. |
