Naked Holidays, Neighborhood 3, and Video Games

A little update for anyone who happens upon this little website.  

 

Naked Holidays 2011 came and went with a big splash!  Bringing in over 1000 people to see our show and raving reviews!  What did those reviews say, you might ask?  Well here's a little taste!

 

Atomic Cafe Tonight!

 

TMZ TV WINS FESTIVAL HONORS!

 A little over-worked company called EndTimes Productions put out for a little festival called the Shortened Attention Span Horror Festival a week ago performing the EndTimes classic, TMZ TV: Too Many Zombies.  We had packed houses cracking up night after night!  And to top off a successful run, SAS festival has informed us that TMZ TV has won best in show for the festival! 

 

A big congratulations to the writer, Jamie King, for writing a great script.  Also the hard work and talent of Elijah Bridges, Chris Cornwell, Dylan Weinberger, and Megan Lee for making the brilliant script shine.  We did it!! 

A little update...

Hey all you guys, if you're still following!

It's been a crazy 6 months and I have been hard pressed to update, but just a little update for the internet goers ardently seeking information from the "series of tubes" that information comes from.

In the past 6 months, I have put Freedom Instinct Theatre through a few performances...
Directed and managed EndTimes Production's 4th Annual, "Vignettes for the Apocalypse"
Managed and coordinated EndTimes Production's "Atomic Cafe"
Directed and workshopped a full-length play "Gods at the End of the World"

and finally...

Produced the now running "Sweet, Sweet Motherhood" which has gotten such wonderful responses such as:

“De Nola’s and Cooney’s presentation are on target and endearing.”

Open Call for Submissions for Vignettes of the Apocalypse!

Do you have a play about the macabre, the menacing, or the just plain
funny?

EndTimes Productions is looking for submissions for our fourth annual
Vignettes of the Apocalypse festival. Plays should be one act, no longer
than 30 minutes. Submissions can be sent to
submissions@endtimesproductions.org. The competition ends Feb. 7th.

“Pushing Theatre to the edge fearlessly and perhaps even wantonly … unlike
anything else that’s playing on stage in New York at the moment.”- Martin
Denton, NYTheatre.com, on 2009’s Vignettes Festival

The Godling, winner for Best Drama in last year’s Vignettes of the
Apocalypse festival, went on to the San Francisco Fringe 2009 to win the
Sold Out award, Best Ensemble, and Best Director. This year, we're going to
do even better.
 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We here at Old Guinea Productions, and that namely means, myself, would like to wish you all a very happy New Year. 

2009 has brought us a lot of good times, great plays, awards, naked women, naked men, and the introduction of The Freedom Instinct Theatre!  All in all, it's been a great year and I hope it's been just as great (if not greater) for all of you as well.

The next year is upon us and there is much to look forward too.  On my end, we have the revamp of Manson: The Musical, the escalation of Freedom Instinct Theatre into more regular performances, and upcoming Vignettes for the Apocalypse! 

WEll enough babbling.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!  SEE YOU IN THE NEW DECADE!!

NAKED HOLIDAYS OPENS, MANY BODIES REVEALED!
