Go see this play now
Calling all tri-staters!
My friend Scott Katzman Who I Love has written, produced and is starring in a wonderful, touching, hilarious, heartbreaking and brilliant play called "Act Naturally." He's spent many years perfecting it, testing it out, casting it with talented actors who believe in it, and pouring his heart into it. And YOU get to see it! Go here to get tickets — it's running from February 8 to the 24th — and maybe I'll see you there.
Even if I didn't know Scott and even if I didn't know what a labor of love this has been for him, I would wholeheartedly recommend this play to anyone. I saw it in an earlier incarnation, and I was deeply moved by it. To see a character put so much of himself on display in an unnatural circumstance ... it's hard to write and act "brave" without coming off as pretentious, desperate or bombastic, and Scott has accomplished that beautifully. In fact, I'm going to throw in some buzzwords here for general Googling purposes so as many people land on this post as possible:
New York theater
must-see play
phenomenal theater-going experience
boobs
four stars!
best actor nomination
gripping
boobs
More details, and a "Grease" shout-out, from Scott himself:
Hello Fans and Friends and Odds and Ends (name the movie for 5 points) …
Well, after three and a half years of blood, sweat and tears — and a lot of other stuff — finally, FINALLY, I am able to tell you that my play is being produced.
All of the relevant information is below and available at the play’s website: www.actnaturallytheplay.com. If you live in the New York area, please consider coming. We have a publicist working diligently to attract theatre companies and producers to potentially remount the show in a more long-term situation and we need loving and enthusiastic audiences to encourage said theatre companies and producers to do so. If you don’t live in the New York area, but know anyone who knows anyone who does, please pass the information on and encourage them to come. The play is really funny and touching, and the cast is amazing. It is a guaranteed good time will be had by all. For only eighteen bucks.
Tickets are available at www.smarttix.com or 212-868-4444.
Thanks now and always for your support. See you at the theatre!

How much do I love you? A lot. Why you ask? Because you posted all the information for my show. Duh. Well, yes. And no. I do love you for posting it, but more importantly, you are the only one who got the Grease reference, and for that you are my personal hero. Good job. And thanks for all the support!!!
