Anthony Misiano, in association with The Aviary and the wild project, presents the World Premiere of I SQUEEZED REALLY HARD. Directed by Jacob Titus (Spaceman by Leegrid Stevens), this one man comedy about one kid's tragedy runs through September 26th at the wild project.

Classic Stage Company has announced that John Doyle’s staging of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Assassins will run November 2, 2021, through January 8, 2022, and will officially open on November 14. A year and a half after its planned debut, CSC is proud to present its much-anticipated production of Assassins. 

In I SQUEEZED REALLY HARD., Anthony Misiano serves up a series of painfully funny, progressively more shocking true stories about his turbulent childhood and the modern broken home. A Dickensian journey as raw as it is intangibly universal, Misiano's fearless, high-energy storytelling takes us down an engrossing autobiographical road that makes us laugh at our darkest moments, and question what exactly we define as family. A bold, unapologetic comedy set in a simpler, more aggressive time known commonly as: The 90's.

The theatre goes on to say that they hope to stage the production in the future, stating 'We hope to have a chance to get it right once we can start again.'
