Joe Iconis's reWrite Plays Joe's Pub Tomorrow 11/6

Preview of the Arts 2011 presents a staged reading of Joe Iconis's musical "ReWrite" at Joe's Pub on Saturday, November 6th at 9:30pm. Directed by John Simpkins, featuring Mr. Iconis on the piano.

The event is part of Preview of the Arts 2011 a three-day series of panel discussions, performances and screenings to be offered at Joe's Pub, November 5-7. Other participants in the festival include writers John Patrick Shanley and Adam Rapp and actor John Turturro.

ReWrite is a wild and unconventional piece of theater, comprised of three mini-musicals that connect in surprising and dangerous ways. Seen briefly at Urban Stages in 2008, the show has been substantially revised and its cast and creators are chomping at the bit to show New York what they've done. Directed by John Simpkins and featuring members from Iconis's notorious family of actors, ReWrite is a weird, funny, and heartfelt piece of geek-pop madness. This ain't no concert, this ain't no cabaret, this is weirdo, bloody musical theater at its finest!

Starring Nick Blaemire, Lorinda Lisitza, Lauren Marcus, A.J. Shively, Jason "Sweettooth" Williams, and Patryce Williams.

Directed by John Simpkins. Musical Direction by Rob Rokicki. Stage Manager Alix Claps.
