A Joe Iconis Mini-Musical Triple Feature

“One of something is fine, but three of something makes me shake my ass with joy.”
– Abe Lincoln

A night of three, count ‘em, THREE 25-minute musicals written by Joe Iconis for your viewing and listening pleasure. Three tiny musicals explore such topics as asking Jenny Vecharelli to the prom, how to prepare for a high-stakes dinner party, and the fantastical journey into the mind of a writer. John Simpkins directs a cast of rebels and rogues who will provide laughs, shocks, and ‘tween show palate cleansers that are sure to delight.

Accident

In her new one woman show, ACCIDENT, Amy Ziff (from the pop group BETTY), uses a cast of comedic characters, music, and monologues to explore the meaning of Life and After-Life. This is a great opportunity to preview a brand new piece in progress, from a Helen Hayes nominee, who the New York Times has called “a remarkable caricaturist.”

Movie Geek

MOVIE GEEK, a hilarious multimedia satire, follows the epic rise and fall of “Geek,” a passionate movie-lover who would grow up to become the world’s biggest movie nerd and most powerful Hollywood mogul. With all new onstage spoofs of classic movies and on-screen interviews from movie-star friends including Kathleen Turner, Henry Winkler, Lea DeLaria and even Bill Cosby, MOVIE GEEK combines Citizen Kane with a Ken Burns-style documentary and ends up with an award-winning play destined to attract both film and theater lovers alike. Written by Dylan Dawson, directed by Andy Donald, and co-conceived by Dylan Dawson and Andy Donald.
