So this past weekend at the Brick Theater in Brooklyn was the final installment of Penny Dreadful. The ongoing theatrical serial which I have had the fortune to be a part of. The project started in the late fall of 2007 by Matt Gray and Bryan Enk in conjunction with the Third Lows. Quite a run if you ask me. The project follows the life and adventures of the Magician Viernik and the ex Pinkerton Detective Leslie Caldwell. The series spans a century of historical events and the stage hosts a parade of historical characters all cleverly intertwined to tell this amazing story.
In this production I had the great pleasure of being cast as Harry Houdini. A Houdini who becomes quite an ass as the story unfolds.
I want to thank everyone who has come out to support Penny these past months and who have watched it online. Episode 11 is currently viewable
And this past and final Episode, 12, will be uploaded shortly.
To anyone who finds there way to this blog and is curious about any project helmed by the thirdlows, Matt Gray,or Bryan Enk...by all means jump at the chance to work with them.
I am so sad to say goodbye to Houdini and his porkpie hat, but am reveling in the ending to this huge undertaking of a series.
