2003

No Shame Theatre in New York will have its triumphant return on January 17th, which is a week from this Friday. Perhaps you've seen our snazzy posters about town. Or mayhaps you have missed them thus far, being as how they all went up yesterday. Oh, bother.

So that's it. Anybody who has any questions, please e-mail me at danpbrooks@hotmail.com, or at dan@ps122.org.

This is the official Sans-Dan No-Shame night, the esteemed Dan Brooks being detained by official business somewhere in Pennsylvania or whereabouts. I'm sure he'll be back as soon as he makes bail. But the show went on! There for awhile, it looked as though No Shame might take place out on the sidewalk in the snow as we found ourselves locked out, but the capable Kyle Lange was on the job (and the cell phone) and soon the honorable John Peruzzi showed up with the key to let the crowd into the theatre.

1) Joshua James - Rick the Dick
2) Joshua Peskay - Yuh
3) Ed Malin - Alzheimer's
4) Kyle Lange - Orheus' Lament - a new song
5) Julie Polk - Red, white, black and Blue
6) Sean Sellers - Tent Revival at Rattlesnake Gulch
7) Joshua Peskay - Yuh, part two
8) Ed Malin - The god Thor visits New Jersey
9) Emmet - Sleeping - a song
10) the honorable John Peruzzi - Drunken Dancing Redux
11) Kyle Lange - Vunerability and Feelings
12) Joshua James - Bad News
Great show, really tight and fun, the beer flowed like champagne and the laughs were plentiful. It's just too bad Sarah Greer couldn't stay, she was there at 10:25, then decided to go get something to "eat" instead - silly Sarah, No-Shame will sustain you!

    It was a fine show, and that drunk girl was quickly convinced to sit down. If there's one thing I can do, it's make a drunk girl lose interest.
