Where Have WE Been?? Where Have YOU Been?!

We've missed you! It's been a long time since November's R2RJ, and even longer than that since we've seen some of you. But we've been staying busy, and we're sure you have too. The HIDiots have been involved in shows, readings, workshops, and more! Exciting, right? We know! And we want you to be a part of it all as we move forward.

For example, this past weekend was one of our more theatrically saturated. First, Artistic Director David Andrew Laws co-facilitated a workshop with Sarah Plotkin of the Electric Eye Ensemble! Sarah and EEE hold a monthly Artist Gym for performers and non-performers alike to gather in a safe space and create together. Exercises were led, pieces were created, and many thoughts, emotions, and illuminations were awakened. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, you should e-mail electriceyeinfo@gmail.com and join them!

And it's definitely not a cult. We promise.

Almost immediately after that, David was at it again, leading a workshop on bringing Commedia dell'arte into a modern context. Long-time HIDiots and fresh faces alike, they played diligently to create from today's New York City archetypes. With characters like the Hipster Barista, Fresh-Faced New Yorker, and Department of Citywide Administrative Services Worker, the 16th Century Italians would have been proud (and possibly a little bit intimidated).

Molto intimidito.

Besides that, we've had HIDiots in Proof, a show about Typhoid Mary, shadowing a Juilliard, and more! Not only do we want to hear about all of your spectacular adventures, but we want to bring you along on all of ours. So, if you haven't already, subscribe to our Mailing List and join us on social media. It's the only way you can be certain not to miss an ounce of HIDiocy.

We miss you, we love you, and let's not go so long without seeing each other. Deal? Deal.

Two Truths w/ Robin Rightmyer

What can be said about Robin Rightmyer that hasn't been said already? That depends, really. What have you heard?

Whether it's good, bad, or otherwise, it's probably true. And most of the bad is even good! Take his turn as Lord Capulet in Hamlet Isn't Dead's Richard II / Romeo & Juliet for example. You'll love him in the party scene, but watch out! Things can get intense later on.


No spoilers though. For now, catch his softer side in this edition of Two Truths & a Lie.


See? Wasn't that lovely. The show closes November 22nd, and our Indiegogo's gone before that! Click the links below and don't miss a thing!

Two Truths w/ Morgan Hooper

In his day, Morgan Hooper has played many, many kings: King John, King Henry VI, King Cophetua, Old King Cole, Burger King, Kingdom Hearts 2, and George, King of the Jungle. But his greatest kingship to date is that of Richard II in Hamlet Isn't Dead's Richard II / Romeo & Juliet duology. 



He also plays the Prince in Romeo & Juliet. Does that count? We're gonna say that counts. And speaking of counting, can you count to Two Truths & a Lie? If not, here's a little assistance from the King of Things himself, Morgan Hooper.

If that video doesn't make you want to pledge fealty, we don't know what to tell you. All we can suggest is that you catch him in R2RJ, and that you make your contribution to Hamlet Isn't Dead's Indiegogo Campaign before it's too late! Hurry! We'll meet you there!

Two Truths w/ Kitty Mortland

Extrae! Extrae! Read all about it! Local actress reduces audience to tears of laugher and tears of joy in the same production!

Wow, that is a long headline, but the referenced article is certainly one to behold. Kitty is a strong, dynamic actress who flexes every emotional muscle at her disposal in Hamlet Isn't Dead's Richard II and Romeo & Juliet. She's also a woman of a thousand faces. Don't believe us? Would we tell you Two Truths & a Lie? No, but Kitty would! Check it out!




Come see these faces and many more this weekend only! We close on November 22nd, and there's only so much audience interaction to go around. Come get yours before it's gone!

Two Truths w/ Kineta Kunutu

Maybe it's ironic that the first thing Kineta ever said to us when she walked into the audition room was "It's Gonna Be Me". After she finished blowing our minds, she said "Bye, Bye, Bye", but we said "I Want You Back"! Thus, a collaboration was born, and we are happily able to share with you the following "Digital Get Down". (Oh my god, remember that song? Classic.)


There she is, and she speaks the truth(s and a lie), "No Strings Attached". You'd be a real "Space Cowboy" if you'd follow her suggestions and donate! And if you don't, we'll start "Trashin the Camp"! (Remember? From Tarzan? Ah...good times.) In the meantime, we'll be here "Thinkin of You"! Aaaaand, that's all the N*Sync songs we can think of off the top of our heads. So... Hooray!

Two Truths w/ Alice Qin

Little known fact: Today is International Alice Qin Day! Even littler known fact: Alice Qin Day is everyday! She's a lady worth celebrating, and all she wants as a gift is your presence at Hamlet Isn't Dead's in-rep production of Richard II and Romeo & Juliet! Or a donation to Hamlet Isn't Dead's HIDiegogo Campaign would be nice. Or both! It's up to you.


We hope you enjoyed her Two Truths and a Lie! Or, as she says, Two Truths and a False. When someone's as talented as Alice, you don't go around correcting her.
