BUDDY BECKER'S BIG UNCUT FLICK Plays The NY Int'l Fringe Fest At The Players Theater 8/15-28

Gracye Productions is pleased to announce the upcoming premiere of BUDDY BECKER'S BIG UNCUT FLICK, The company's fourth production with The New York International Fringe Festival. Performances of Todd Michael's comedy, which parodies 1940s film and 1960s television, will be directed by Walter J. Hoffman and will appear at The Players Theatre (115 Macdougal Street).

Is the recession repressing you? Then tune in your TV dial and join your old buddy, Buddy Becker, as he whips out another one of his big, uncut flicks filled with intrigue, murder, and romance! This week Buddy will unveil Passkey to Espionage, a 1940 thriller set on the island of Machado, where the scorching sun isn't the only thing making Detective Nick Ormsby sweat. Will Ormsby find his mysteriously missing partner before he gets the chill-or before his heart warms to the local chanteuse? Husbands and wives agree: BUDDY BECKER'S BIG UNCUT FLICK will leave you cinematically satisfied.

Gracye Productions proudly participated in the 12th Annual FringeNYC last year with Tough Guys Don't Shoot Blanks, which appeared at The Barrow Street Theatre and garnered enthusiastic notices.

Hoffman, who will direct BUDDY BECKER'S BIG UNCUT FLICK, Vice Girl Confidential received the best reviews of Michael's career.  

Prior to Vice Girl Confidential, Gracye Productions presented Michael's Say Your Prayers, Mug! at Horse Trade's Red Room.
