WALKEN ON SUNSHINE

Written by Dave Droxler

Directed by Marcus Stevens

Cast: Maggie Carr, Dave Droxler, Jennifer Fouche, DeLance Minefee, Paul Pakler, Jonathan Spivey and James Rushin.

I first met Dave Droxler in 2013 when I did a video interview with him and Stolen Chair director Jon Stancato. They were bringing to the stage a wonderful film “The Man Who Laughs”. Dave gave a most amazing performance in that show. When he contacted me to do this interview regarding his play I was most interested in meeting him to do it. I am very excited to see this show! Please come and support Dave and this great cast!

Gustavo Pace

I have been photographing Gustavo for quite a few years now. I shot one of his first performances in NYC in 2011.

He has been dedicated and very busy. Here is a glimpse of his bio:

He attended a full two years course at AMDA – American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. Graduated in acting with a Master of Fine Arts from The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University.

Gustavo Pace was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship for Theater/Acting. He obtained the Extraordinary VISA for Arts, based on shows and theater activities performed in the United States and Brazil.

He is now performing his new ‘original’ play “Naked Brazilian“. Written, and performed by him. Directed by Stephen Brown-Fried.

We went walking around NYC yesterday and I did some shots to capture the mood of this play. Here is the description:

“Struggling against his father’s wishes to become a lawyer, a young man journeys from Rio to NYC to make a case for his own destiny.”

Gustavo Pace arrives in NYC with a Brazilian flag and his suitcase.

Hurtled into the train station with doubts and concerns for what the future holds in this grand city.

“It is a delightful show! I highly recommend it.” Jim Moore

Landscape with Missing Person – A new play by John Crutchfield – @ The Fringe Festival NYC

Post author By Jim R. Moore
Post date August 9, 2013

“..witnessing it is an enlarging and uplifting experience. This is due not only to the excellence of Crutchfield’s script, which brims with wisdom and humor and deliciously colorful examples of Southern and Midwestern speech, but also to Samuels’ production and the performances of a top-notch cast, all of which add up to as close to perfection as theater ever gets.” NYTheatre.com

Asheville, North Carolina has quite a few wonderful things going on. One of them is a theater company directed by Steven Samuels. The Magnetic Theatre. A ‘seasoned’ director and theater person, Steven Samuels has brought a new play written by John Crutchfield to this years Fringe Festival. “Landscape with Missing Person”. Being presented at Venue #4 – Teatro Latea located at 107 Suffolk Street (between Rivington & Delancey)

The shows description reads as follows: A teenage railroad punk helps a strange middle-aged man search for his mysteriously vanished wife. From a small southern town, across the Midwest, to San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, the mismatched pair’s cross-country journey introduces them to a motley crew of characters, most more desperate and deranged than the last. By turns comic, menacing, lyrical, and bizarre-and sometimes all at once – Landscapes with Missing Person proves moving, mesmerizing, and as surprising as it is psychologically acute, a gripping and poignant hitchhiker’s guide to postmodern 21st Century America.

Produced and Directed by Steven Samuels

Written by John Crutchfield

Starring John Crutchfield, Lisa M Smith and Jennifer Gatti.

Here are some photographs from this delightful production.
