It's me! Mickey!

Before I moved to NYC, I studied at Theatre at Illinois State University. I left on a year hiatus to pursue my profession and am returning in the Fall of 2011 to finish my degree. This will be my last project in NYC until I return. A sort of farewell event. I worked my butt off for this and this would be the cherry on the sunday! In the year I've lived in New York City, the pursuit of an acting career has kept me quite busy. I've been involved in thirteen staged productions, four new play readings, three films, two TV spots and two web-series. I've taken a number of classes and worn out the soles of several pairs of shoes. Looking back, I'm overwhelmed. The memories; time spent backstage at dingy theatre's - time spent backstage at state of the art ones, getting mic'd up for tv, meeting producers for coffee, sitting at staples, stapling head-shots to resumes on Madison Ave and 45th St, missing trains, catching cabs, sweating though t-shirts and trudging along in heavy winter boots - all reserve a place in my heart. None of these memories, however, would exist without the people who were there create them. On August 6th and 7th , my friend Matthew Wright and I will be presenting A Chaotically Complete Collaboration at The Clurman Theatre, 410 W 42nd Street, on Theatre Row.   When I received permission from playwright Bill Daniel to produce a collection of his one-acts, my immediate gut reaction was that his work had to be produced. I raced through my memory and contacted 23 solid actors, 8 unique directors, 2 efficient stage managers, 2 delightful costume designers, 1 colorful lighting designer and 1 vibrant sound designer. It's not often you will find this many talented artists working together for such a short time. We've decided to tackle these plays in just two days. The first day being completely process oriented; meet and greets, table reads, design meetings, blocking sessions, runs, and a cohesive dry tech. The second day we meet at the crack of dawn to put them on the stage. We have full tech, dress rehearsal, then a matinee and an evening performance. Our goal is to examine the process of play production when time is minimal. To  use the time restraints as a trampoline for creativity, rather than a road-block. Essentially, we hope to discover and record the vital pieces of a true collaboration. We aim to create a atmosphere in which artists can combine forces and make theater magic happen. Now that you know about the project, I ask for your help. There are many ways to help Matt and I in our endeavor. You can donate to our Indie Go Go account by clicking on this link. As you can imagine theater in New York isn't cheap to produce, however it isn't impossible. It's amazing what a group of people can do when they all work together.;)If you cannot donate, you can help spread the word by passing this email on to friends and family, liking and sharing our Facebook group and event, following us on Twitter, or by buying tickets to come see the show. Collaborate with us! You are an essential part of this process. I assure you, this is much more difficult alone. I can't wait to share this experience with you! Best Mickey O'Sullivan
