Back stage fun and acting adventures at the 1599 Globe Theatre - our postmodern

Watch Shakespeare direct work on selected scenes from Henry V and Hamlet, and rehearse famous scenes from Henry IV, Part I. Will will work with the men responsible for the fabulously famous “First Folio” (John Heminge and Henry Condell), and the company’s lead actor, Richard Burbage, as well as the “man” purported to have played “Falstaff” before the Queen, Thomas Pope. Musician/actor Augustine Phillips is here too with his trumpet, bass/viol and tambourine. But it’s our “Nell” who runs the show.

“When we get a theatrical idea, we run with it.” Collaborations between Loose Moon Productions and Al Dente Productions include Yikes, Yeats!, coda to a run of David Mamet’s Reunionat the American Theatre of Actors, and performances of Mousetrap, The Farce of the Worthy Master Pierre Patelin, Ionesco’s The Lesson and many more at the Seventh Street Small Stage.

Evie Aronson, our "Nell," is a stand up girl... a comic and improv actor who performs on stage and in films all over the tri-state area. She has a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University. She has collaborated often with Loose Moon/ Al Dente Productions, in particular as "Florence" in Kobun Kaluza's modern romance, St. Valentine and the Wildebeest. Her dream is to someday sing and dance on Broadway, hopefully in a show. www.eviechevy.blogspot.com |

Kobun Kaluza as "Henry Condell," apprentice to "John Heminge," (Condell and Heminge were responsible for the famous "First Folio," preserving his plays for posterity: that's us). Kobun made his professional debut at Sanders Theatre with Jo Ha Kyu, earned his BA in Theatre from Sarah Lawrence, spent a year abroad at the British American Drama Academy and completed Brooklyn College with an MFA in Playwriting, 2006. Founded Al Dente Productions in 2000. |

Garretson James Seely Lang, musician/actor "Augustine Phillips," is a student majoring in Music at the New School. California-born, child actor, he is still mourning the loss of Joe Torre's Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs. Claims he's straight, but doth he protest too much? |
 |
James Richard, lead actor/sharer "Richard Burbage," a suffering Green Bay Packer fan from Wisconsin with a stiff upper lip, among other things, available. Mr. Richard, who sells shaving cream, just wants to act, yea, and maybe direct some day too. I mean, who doesn't? And a back-up dancer for the New York Knicks. |
 |
Texas-born Amara Untemeyer as a woman who calls herself "Thomas Pope" himself and has studied with the LAByrinth Theatre Company and is most famous (ha!) for her roles as "Mickey" in the female version of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple and for dating the wrong men. She would like to thank her wonderfully lovely cast and mostly Tom White who saw past her drunken shopping cart moment outside the Corner Bistro and still said "That woman is our Falstaff!" |
 |
Dave Warth IS the "Bard," William (no middle name) Shakespeare, whom most of the world acknowledges was, and is the greatest writer of English ever born of a woman and is, as we will prove beyond the shadow of any doubt before your amazed and disbelieving eyes, the smuttiest. Get this: Dave has a theatre degree from where? Yep. Bard. |
