Hector
Desire
in
Streetcar
Named
Hi all,
I heard from Hector Osorio that he is in Marin Theater
Company’s production. He says:
“Hi everyone, here’s the info on my next show. Opening night
is tonight and it runs almost through the end of April. I play
Pablo, one of Stanley Kowalski’s poker buddies.
Marin Theatre Company Presents:
A Streetcar Named Desire
by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Jasson Minadakis
Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece is about a torrid romantic
triangle set in 1940’s New Orleans. The immortal, fragile
Southern Belle Blanche DuBois arrives at her sister Stella’s
French Quarter row house. Here she encounters the sensual,
sweat-stained Stanley Kowalski. Passions erupt and lives hang
in the balance when genteel Southern culture collides with
frustrated, roiling urban desire.
Performances: Tuesday through Sundays
April 1 – April 20, 2008
Boyer Theatre
397 Miller Avenue
Mill Valley, CA 94941
Tickets: Previews: $29
Performances: $29 – $47

TJ on TV
Hi all,
This news from TJ Metz, from the first three cycles of Andrew
Wood. Congrats TJ:
“I am on the tele…cable actually…tomorrow night, Friday
12.14.07 at 8 PM.
The show is a reality show. It’s like dinner and a movie. The
movie is Return to me with David Duchovny and Minnie Driver.
During the commercials, 3 other actors and myself, pretend
like we’re on a date. It was filmed in beautiful Half Moon Bay
– one very chilly afternoon – last month. I’m guy number 3. I
was hired to be goofy and sarcastic…I hope I delivered. You
tell me. =)”
Take care!

Jeremy off the hook
Hi all,
Jeremy Mascia just got cast in Lovers and Other Strangers at
the Shelton Theater! The show will open in October. Stay
tuned!
He is currently in Eavesdropping at CAFE Arts: “I just
received my schedule for the rest of the run of Eavesdropper.
I will be performing the following nights: 9/14, 9/15, 9/21
and 9/28. Doors open at 8 PM. Tickets, I believe, are $15.”
Also: “Saw some great live music last night that I’m still
buzzing from:
Okkervil River at the Independent. I guess they can be
classified as
folk-punk; their strength is in their lyrics, very emotive.”
Thanks for the tip, Jeremy. Great new music always makes the
medicine go down. And congrats! Keep it up.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi all,
I am happy to report that longtime Mother of Inventioner
Cassie Powell will be playing Viola in the California
Shakespeare Festival’s touring production of Twelfth Night.
The show will tour to schools thoughout California. AND it’s a
musical production, and Cassie landed the role with NO prior
musical experience or training. This means that for the next
year Cassie’s primary income will come from acting! Right on,
Cassie!

SURPRISE!!!
“I’ve been to a marvelous party; I couldn’t have liked it
more.”
–Noel Coward
Tonight, I joined longtime Mother of Inventioners Cassie
Powell and Larry Guth in Sausalito for a surprise party for
their classmate and former scene partner Dawn Scott, who is
heading off to Denver to the National Theater Conservatory to
embark on her acting MFA there. It’s a FANTASTIC deal because
all of her tuition is paid, and she gets a stipend. An MFA
program that doesn’t leave you enmired in debt! What a
concept! She will be studying with a longtime student of Earl
Gister’s, one of my teachers at Yale. She is also going to be
taking a class in TRAPEZE! As if Dawn could possibly be MORE
fabulous than she already is, but if there is a way, I guess
Dawn on a trapeze would be it. Anyway, the party was great to
be a part of, because people from every corner of Dawn’s
multifarious life were present, at a beautiful waterside
restaurant, where we got to watch the sun set on our beautiful
city, and smile for the last time in a long while on our
friend as she leaves to walk the road of happy destiny. We are
all with you Dawn!

congrats to jay m
Mother of Invention newcomer is acting in a production of
Midsummer Night’s Dream in the woods! Congrats Jay! Details
from Jay below:
i’ll be performing “a midsummer night’s dream,” directed by
stuart
bousel and presented as part of atmostheatre’s theatre in the
woods
series.
that’s right, it’s theatre-in-the-frickin-woods! we’ve got a
beautiful
plot of land, about 30 miles out of the city, just off of
skyline.
beautiful amphitheaters in the middle of a redwood forest.
[honestly, i
feel better as soon as i get out of the car, but i’m from the
forest,
you know? when i get back to nature i just feel calm, and
free. but
anyway…]
the show’s great. it’s a LOT of fun, briskly paced, highly
intelligible, and it’s got a great cast. it’s a fun way to
spend two
and a half hours on a summer day. and did i mention it’s in
the woods?
and on a personal note: i don’t usually like to pimp my shit,
but i’m
really proud of some of the work i’ve been doing on this show.
i’m doing
two smaller parts, mainly for comic relief, but this shows
just…feels
right. so, if you have a chance to make it up to the bay this
august
[and let’s face it, the only people who don’t want to spend
august in
norcal are northern californians], please come check it out.
tickets are going fast. i found out today like half of our
dates are
sold out. so, my bad. but there are plenty of other
performances. we
preview the last weekend of july and then do saturday/sunday
through
labor day. all performances are matinees [duh, the woods are
scary at
night], 1 o’clock curtain. here’s the website:
http://www.atmostheatre.com/
i believe i’ve got a couple comps as well, so if you need one,
ask early
and be poor. but come see the show.
peace.–jm

congrats to Dawn!
Hi all,
Longtime Mother of Inventioner Dawn Scott will be heading off
to Denver this fall to start her program at the National
Theater Conservatory there. One thing that is great about this
program is that it is tution free– she will get an MFA without
paying a cent. The school itself finds funding for all of its
students.
Dawn told me she observed an acting class when she visited and
felt completely comfortable with what she saw being taught,
based on her Mother of Invention experience. Best of luck to
you Dawn!
