Tomorrow night, Saturday May 28th, is your last chance to catch me performing in Urban Death at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre! If you haven't already seen the show, you're missing out - and I say that as a horror fan, not as a member of the ensemble of said show.

"I thought it was dead, but grand guignol is alive and well. It just doesn't live in 19th Century Paris any more. It dwells in contemporary North Hollywood at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre." - FEARnet review, June 2010

Join us this Saturday at 11 PM at ZJU, 4850 Lankershim Blvd. in the NoHo Arts District. Tickets are $15. Make phone reservations by calling 818 202 4120. And get there early - it WILL sell out!

Spooky Self-Promotion: Catch Me in URBAN DEATH

Hello, spooky friends! I apologize for the relative dearth of posts lately, but I've been keeping busy (a strategy that works well for getting through those boring non-Halloween months). What have I been up to? Well, I am currently rehearsing for the next production of Urban Death at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre in North Hollywood!

If you've never seen Urban Death (and I have, so trust me on this), you're in for a scary treat. The show is essentially a series of horrific vignettes, and the entire show is done with minimal dialogue. Instead, the mood is set via creepy original music and the physicality of the performers. If that sounds at all pretentious, it's not - instead, it's enthralling, disorienting and terrifying.

Since Urban Death is ZJU's signature show, there have been many different incarnations, but this latest version promises to be the scariest to date. Join me on Saturday, April 9th at 11 PM, or any Saturday night through the end of May, to get a taste of the best on-stage horror in Los Angeles. Hope to see you there!

WITCH BALL at Zombie Joe's (Opens Friday the 13th)

A new production is set to open at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre in North Hollywood next weekend, on Friday the 13th: Witch Ball. Described as a "thrilling new adventure that follows a mysterious Witch Ball's two hundred year journey through time and space, collecting spirits, ghosts and demons along its perilous path." The play will be performed every Friday and Saturday at 8:30 PM through September 11th. For my money, ZJU puts on the best horror-themed stage productions in Los Angeles; check out their ongoing Urban Death series if you haven't already.
