Play Workshop a Great Success

The Common Swallow by David Caudle
Annie Golden and Me.

This workshop, directed by Kirsten Kelly featured Annie Golden, Doug Rees, Elizabeth Rich, Matt D'Amico, Julie Jesneck and me, in no particular order. We had a great turnout and most importantly got a chance to put this wonderful play up on it's feet (training wheels still attached) in little more than a week's time! Stressful yes-but there could not have been a better group of people with whom to be in the theatrical trenches.

Good Things,

MacLeod

If you really like it, and use digg.com, it would be really great if you dugg us up, as that's a huge way to get hit counts up.

Second- Monday, September 14 at 7pm I will be performing in a reading of

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

A Radio Play by Meyer Levin

at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. tickets $15

Third- I will be performing in a workshop of The Common Swallow by David Caudle. September 25-27 as part of the Howl Festival at 45 Bleeker st. Theater. Tickets $15

Fourth
- Tuesday, September 15 at 12pm I will be performing in a reading of Besharet a new play by Chana Porter at Primary Stages. I'm not sure if that's open to the public or not.

Slipping
closed Off- Broadway and was a huge success. The entire run completely sold out! Here are some links to some great reviews.

There are more readings, more excitement, but thus not enough time to report on them all.

Reviews for Sandman Slim

"The reading is performed by Macleod Andrews, who does the narration in a perfect whiskey voice that's 80 percent Tom Waits, 20 percent Clint Eastwood. The performance and production are marvellous, a great interpretive reading that really brought the novel to life for me."

Keeping Busy

I will be doing a couple of readings for new plays in development this month. I will also be performing in the workshop of a new play by David Caudle. Then in October I'll hopefully be getting back into some audiobook action.

Good Things,
