Cheerful Insanity in Time Out New York

Look in the theater section in the back of the magazine for a picture of Kim and myself, along with our show listing.

The Callous Cad team!

Still rehearsing away on Callous Cad!

We had a fantastic daytime rehearsal for Callous Cad this morning. Boy, it feels different to rehearse early, when I have a lot of energy, and not at the end of a long work day when I'm drained.

We rehearsed with water in our various water-related props today, and I was completely soaked! Gotta keep rehearsing until we get that right.

Also, it was Amy's birthday, and TXC Heavy Industries sprang for some red velvet cupcakes for her, with candles, even. (Pictures to come.) Happy birthday to our Magical Assistant!

Rehearsal of Callous Cad: A moment frozen in time

Charlotte (L) and Tom discuss the finer nuances of an exchange of dialogue as the director, John (R,) contemplates another topic.

NY Craft Beer Week is here, and I must rehearse!

Good lord! NY Craft Beer Week is here, but I must focus and maintain discipline, not go out and enjoy many different craft ales! I must remain lucid and coherent, in order to rehearse the show properly! Oh, the sorrow!

So, you go out and bend a few elbows for me. Meanwhile, Callous Cad is improving steadily!

INTRODUCING CHARLOTTE!

Hi, all!

This is Charlotte Pines, Magical Being in Callous Cad, part of the Cheerful Insanity residency at HERE later this month.

I just want to tell you... it's gonna be amazing. Tom is nuts, John is nuts, Amy is nuts, I'm fairly certain Kim is nuts, I'm positive I'm nuts, and I can tell you right now that I mean that in the best, most wonderful, out-of-the-box way. You will love it - you will leave the theater thinking "That was f-ing awesome."

More Cheerful Insanity here.

More Callous Cad here.

KEEP CHECKING BACK, and buy your tickets already!
