Photo Flash: Hiller, Settle, Hendy, Schwitter, Witt & Dotson Launch Laughs at VILLAIN: DEBLANKS at The Triad
By: BWW News Desk Nov. 03, 2015
BRENDA BRAXTON PRESENTS VILLAIN: DEBLANKS began monthly performances Sunday night, November 1, The Triad NYC, and the audience and cast alike laughed themselves silly. Sometimes it was the script, sometimes it was the delivery, sometimes it was a brilliant combination of the two, but whichever it was, the room never got quiet from the opening line. Check out photos of the hijinks below!
Five first-timers made their DeBlanks debuts. Jeff Hiller, Keala Settle, Jessica Hendy, Mike Schwitter & Laura Yoder Witt joined 6-time DeBlanks veteran Bernard Dotson for an unrepeatable (and unpublishable) night of naughty words and ridiculous characters.
Don't miss the next installment on Sunday, December 6, starring the gloriously funny Geneva Carr (currently on Broadway in "Hand to God"), incisively witty Tony-winner Daisy Eagan ("Secret Garden"), the uniquely delightful Lauren Elder ("Sideshow," "HAIR"), multi-talented award-winning composer/lyricist Bobby Cronin ("Mary and Max," "(un)Lucky in Love"), hilarious and handsome Hunter Ryan Herdlicka (current revival of "Once Upon A Mattress," "A Little Night Music"), and inveterate reviewer, former president of the Drama Desk Awards, and champion of the theater, Peter Filichia.

Laura Yoder Witt may or may not be feigning innocence. Mike Schwitter & Jessica Hendy are amused, either way.
