Woah, the JCC bought this ad in the Village Voice this week!:
I should probably clarify that tickets are $10, not $20. Also, that's an old synopsis (there are no longer peasant girls (only communists from the 1920s)), and it's a reading, not a staged play. Other than that, wow, a fancy ad!!!
I'm pasting the real, up-to-date info below. We've added so many amazing performers to the cast! I laughed so hard at the table reading, I almost barfed on our director. Since then, we've roped in Micah Bucey of The Gay Agenda! I enjoy him so much! He will be playing Ian Fleishman, the character I played in "You Will Experience Silence." (Did I mention this is a sequel?)
Anyway! Please come! It's gonna be ridiculous!

Micah Bucey, Mary Wiseman, Ben Beckley and Lynne Rosenberg
musical accompaniment by Matt Katz and Dibson Hoffweiler
334 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC, Tickets: $10, Reading starts at 8:30pm
The time is 1921. The place is the Bronx. The Fenster family is contemplating a return to Russia, years after escaping the Tsar. As Mama and Papa fight about socialism and communism, their daughter Gittel hangs out with Madonna, Britney Spears, and an amateur gay webcam pornographer. Everyone breaks out in song. "The Material World" is the sequel to Fishback's "You Will Experience Silence," which ran at Dixon Place in Spring 2009.

Dear Friends,
Halloween is a time for scary things, and I can think of nothing scarier than this: I AM WRITING A MUSICAL. The folks at Nehirim and the JCC have kindly invited me to do a reading of my new work-in-progress on October 31st, as part of their Queer Shabbaton New York weekend. Feel free to come in costume! I will be going as "Person Who is Barfing All Over Himself," because that's how nervous I am to put this thing on stage.
Scroll down for the synopsis. I needn't say more.
Perhaps I'll see you there?
Much Love
Dan
