United Solo Artists Presents SATAN SPEAKS: “Why I Don't Exist,” A TED-ish Talk

Sympathy for the Devil? Do I exist or not? Using the format of a TED Talk, Satan brings up surprising revelations about his life as the angel Lucifer, his bitter Fall from Heaven, and the many masks humanity has forced upon him. But Satan's spirit is periodically called away 'on business,' leaving the clueless Actor portraying him to adlib, revealing both hapless and grim truths about himself. The audience is left with the question of whether the devil controls his own actions or is simply a convenient scapegoat for humanity's sins.

Bart McCarthy (AEA) has written and produced over 18 productions including biographical shows about Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and Amelia Earheart. Acting in Hollywood for the past 24 years, Bart's credits include NCIS, Sons of Anarchy, New Girl, Spongebob Squarepants the Movie and many more.
