The Third Testament

Roles
- A Homeless Mutant, A member of the Obese Liberation Army
Production Company
- Third Period Productions

About the show:
Book and Lyrics by Larry Charles (of "Seinfeld" and "Mad About You")
Music by John Mascaro

"The Third Testament is a piece of musical theatre which uses elements of comedy, satire and farce to skeptically--but not cynically--probe the question of whether, in a world of rampant materialism and voracious media, there is any longer the possibility of divine revelation and spiritual redemption, and, if so, what forms these might take.  The Third Testament itself is  an electronic transmission emanating from a mysterious and unknown source.  It has appeared miraculously and without explanation in the personal computers of certain selected individuals.  The Third Testament heralds a new truth and reveals the secret meaning of life, while completely disputing the teachings of all other major religions, rendering them irrelevant and obsolete and plunging society into a cataclysmic tizzy.  Is it a miracle, an alien, or just another scam?"

Bard At The Bar

Date - April 30,2001
Role - Rosiland in a scene from "As You Like It"
Presented by - The Simon Studio

 

REVIEW - "Alliance E News"
From the review by Julie Halpern in the OFF-OFF BROADWAY REVIEW @ oobr.com, 5/22/01

BARD AT THE BAR - a collage of plays, songs and dance by Shakespeare, directed by Roger Hendricks Simon at THE WEST END BAR, 2911
Broadway at 114th. St. 

Shakespeare's 437th birthday and the 22nd year of THE SIMON STUDIO were commemorated in a unique setting - the rec. room at a historic Columbia University area bar. Famous and almost famous alumni and current students of THE SIMON STUDIO presented an impressive group of scenes using every inch of expansive room, as well as audience members, as part of the ambience. Actors appeared in street clothes using the simplest of props, creating a 60's style street theatre environment, while audience members wandered in and out and photographers documented the performance. Strict homage was paid to the Bard's language, with vivid, highly physicalized portrayals by all. Seasoned pros generously shared the stage with less experienced students (of the Bard) in a mutually beneficial situation. Actors of all shapes, sizes, and ages were encouraged to share their talents, eschewing the youth-oriented look of many recent Shakespeare productions. Director Roger Hendricks Simon is to be congratulated for his dedication to the inclusion of all types of talented actors, and the large. enthusiastic crowd obviously agreed.
