American Soldiers at Theater for the New City

My next project, a play entitled American Soldiers opens January 14th at Theatre for the New City.

I play Hutch, a Long Island layabout who is the only voice of caution in the life of Angela Colleti–a returning Iraq veteran.

The play takes place in Hicksville, NY (the real-life hometown of playwright Matt Morillo) and kicks off with Angie returning home to find things exactly the way she left them… and none too pleased to be back in Long Island.

For the full details, check out the article on BroadwayWorld.com.

Runs:
January 14 – 31, 2010
Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 3:00 PM.

Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue (at E. 10th Street)
