This Weekend’s Must See~ the Final Weekend of “The People vs. Friar Laurence”!

This weekend marks the final three performances of the hilarious new musical comedy, The People vs. Friar Laurence- The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks. I highly recommend you get out and see this hysterical musical that is a twisted and wacky version of the classic Romeo + Juliet where we find Friar Laurence being interrogated for the murders of the title characters. People stars my dear friend and Sammy Kingsford: Manager to the Stars costar Rick Simone as Tybalt along with a great cast including Billy Giampaolo as Friar Laurence, Alex Tordi as Romeo and Bethany Regan as Juliet. Take a look at all the show and cast info below plus some pictures from this great show. Then, head to www.iotatheatrecompany.com or brown paper tickets to get your seats to The People vs. Friar Laurence. Enjoy

The People Vs. Friar Laurence: The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet

Written by Ron West and Phil Swann, The People vs Friar Laurence is a hilarious musical comedy rendition starring the Friar of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence is behind bars and charged with the murder of the two young lovers. The twisted trial progresses into a Vaudeville-like mayhem in the race to determine the plot behind the ultimate blame for Romeo and Juliet’s demise at the feet of Friar Laurence. The fast-moving freight train of characters and non-stop Shakespearean spoof of adventure takes the audience on a musical journey of love, confusion and chaos.

Shameless Self Promotion Again~ It’s Episode 2 of “Sammy Kingsford: Manager to the Stars”!

A few weeks ago, I shared with you the first episode of the hilarious new web series I’m doing, Sammy Kingsford: Manager to the Stars, and now it’s time for some more Sammy. Check out episode 2 of our hysterical show below. This time, Sammy (played by series creator Rick Simone) and his trusted assistant Matthew (yours truly, Jason Boegh) are looking to sign up some new clients.

Shameless Self Promotion~ “Sammy Kingsford: Manager to the Stars”!

Hey readers,
I’m at it again, shamelessly self promoting my latest project. This time it’s the first episode of my hilarious new mockumentary web series Sammy Kingsford: Manager to the Stars. This hysterical comedy was created by the immensely talented Rick Simone who also plays the title character, a glamorous talent manager named Sammy Kingsford who wants to restore Hollywood to its glory days. I play his incredibly optimistic and enthusiastic assistant Matthew St. Peters (who is also one of Sammy’s clients). In upcoming episodes, Sammy and Matthew will be searching for new talent, working to make them big stars, and we will also look into Sammy and Matthew’s fascinatingly funny personal lives. Check out the first episode below. I can’t tell you how excited I am for this one. It’s such a riot and I’m trilled to be working with Simone again who I did the GLAAD nominated play Revolver with almost two years ago. Enjoy Sammy Kingsford, “like” it on YouTube and stay tuned for more episodes. Thanks!!!
