Hi Folks--two shows of mine

[Adam]

Hi all,

I have two shows going up at pretty much the same time in New York
right now. Hearts Like Fists is a comic book inspired noir comedy and
UBU is an experimental movement piece loosely based on Ubu Roi.

Hope you can come. Info on both below.

1. First up, it's Hearts Like Fists at Flux Theater Ensemble Nov 30-
Dec 15 This show had the best reviews of my life this summer in LA.
Now Flux is doing their version. Preview went great! Can't wait for
you to see it.

directed by Kelly O’Donnell
Nov 30 – Dec 15, 2012
At The Secret Theatre

THE STORY: Hearts Like Fists is a superhero noir comedy about the
dangers of love. The city’s heart beats with fear: Doctor X is
sneaking into apartments and injecting lovers with a lethal poison.
Lisa’s heart beats with hope: now that she’s joined the elite
Crimefighters, maybe she can live a life with meaning. And every beat
of Peter’s wounded heart brings him closer to death, but he’s
designing an artificial replacement that will never break. Can the
Crimefighters stop Doctor X? Do Peter and Lisa have a chance at love?
And who is the girl with a face like a plate?

Featuring: Becky Byers*, Aja Houston*, Rachael Hip-Flores, Jennifer

2. Then it's a slightly tweaked version of the experimental movement
piece UBU we did at SoloNOVA festival at TerraNOVA last year. It sold
really well so they put it in their season.

UBU
presented by

terraNOVA Collective, One-Eighth & IRT
Written by Adam Szymkowicz
Directed and Performed by Daniel Irizarry


December 4 -- 16 , Tuesday -- Sunday (Mondays dark) at 8:30pm
Ticket Price: $20.00 At IRT: 154 Christopher st. #3B (third floor)
-- Running time 1 hour.

Inspired by Ubu Roi, UBU is the King of the Great Expanding Universe
who will allow a privileged few into his mansion to watch him eat
steak. Along the way, he may play music, read you poetry and tell of
his lost loves and purchased politicians – it all depends on the mood
of the King. Join this kinetic romp through the absurdist world of the
most powerful CEO in the universe.
Don't miss the relaunch of UBU, back from a successful run for the
2012 soloNOVA Arts Festival at the New Ohio Theater.

Martin Denton from nytheatre.com said it was:
“…a monster of mammoth size and ravenous appetite, sort of like the
Tasmasian Devil on steroids by way of Monty Python's Mr. Creosote...”

And Olivia Jane Smith from New York Theatre review said:
‘…Irizarry’s singular stage presence and the productions beautifully
grotesque little world make this…expanding universe worth a good
look.’
