134 West has announced O Baby Mine: Sing A Song of Shakespeare, an album of music for parents and children of all ages. Comprised of songs from and inspired by Shakespeare’s plays, the CD and digital downloads release on Tuesday, August 12.

O Baby Mine: Sing A Song of Shakespeare is for anyone that wants to share their love of theatre, music, and the Bard and his language with their families. Featuring eight songwriters and 14 tracks, Shakespeare plays represented include Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, The Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, Macbeth, and King Lear.

The composers are (in alphabetical order) Raymond Bokhour, Sean Galuszka, Rob Kendt, Susan Lambert, Cinco Paul, Madison Scheckel, William Shakespeare, and David Tobocman. The project was conceived by Susan Lambert, who also acts as executive producer. The CD is produced, mixed, and engineered by Rob Kendt, with additional mixing by Matt North, mastering by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering, and art direction and design by Chad Calvert/Muse of Fire Creative.

Said producers Lambert and Kendt, “This album began as a way to introduce the wonder of Shakespeare to our kids, but it quickly took on a life of its own. Music flows throughout Shakespeare’s work: the rhythm and melody of his language can really make you want to sing and dance … and listen.”

There Are Bees
O Baby Mine (Daddy version)
Witches’ Song
Who Is Sylvia?

Announcing: Environmental “Poison Apple” One Night Only, Saturday 10/22

HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL FAVORITE
AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED THRILLER
POISON APPLE BY SEAN GALUSZKA
FEATURING GALUSZKA AND CHRIS SAMS
DIRECTED BY SUSAN LAMBERT

SET FOR A ONE NIGHT ONLY, ENCORE PERFORMANCE
AT A DOWNTOWN LOFT APARTMENT
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22 AT 8PM

Dancing Barefoot Productions and 134 West Productions have announced an exclusive, one-night-only encore performance of Poison Apple, written by Sean Galuszka and directed by Susan Lambert, on Saturday, October 22, at 8pm. This critically acclaimed thriller, which is set in a New York City loft, will become a unique environmental theatre experience as it is performed in an actual downtown loft apartment.

Poison Apple is a psycho-sexy, tragic love story. Based on true events that took place in Hell’s Kitchen in New York City, this frightening tale follows two men (Galuszka and Chris Sams), who are forced to confront their innermost demons and, ultimately, take unimaginable action. Of the world premiere during this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival, Back Stage called the play, “Ominous … harrowing … seductive.” And LATheatreReview.com said, “A Hitchcockian game of cat and mouse with Grimm results. Edge of your seat thrills.”

Seating is very limited. From its sold out world premiere at Celebration Theatre during the Hollywood Fringe Festival, and subsequent six week run at Space 916, the one-act play runs 70 minutes with no intermission.

Sean Galuszka is a writer, performer, singer, and songwriter. He graduated from Syracuse University with a triple major in acting, directing, and English. On stage in Los Angeles, he originated the role of Leo in the American premiere of Fucking Men at Celebration Theatre. He has also appeared in a revival of The Boys in the Band at the Coast Playhouse and the Los Angeles premiere of K2. Galuszka’s television and film credits include Taming the Wild West: The Legend of Jedediah Smith (TNT), Water for Elephants, Miracles, and The Ghost Whisperer. Chris Sams has been seen locally in the GLAAD Award-winning production of Revolver and The Boys in the Band, among others, and director Susan Lambert received an LADCC Award nomination for her work on An Appalachian Twelfth Night.

This special performance of Poison Apple is on Saturday, October 22 at 8pm. Admission is $25, and tickets may be purchased by calling (323) 848-4561. Seating is limited, and the one-act play runs 70 minutes with no intermission. For exclusive details, news about other performances and locations, and a pre-story dialogue via text messages between the characters, text POISON to 41411.

The downtown LA loft space where this performance of Poison Apple will take place, is located at 312 West 5th Street #315, in Pershing Square, only steps away from the Pershing Square Metro stop. Metered street parking is available, as well as a $5 lot.
