FEATURING

NY Monologues

written by Mike Poblete, featuring Max Woertendyke
After a highly publicized run in Dublin, Ireland, New York native Mike Poblete finally brings an excerpt from this highly successful play to his hometown.

"Poblete is full of sharp one liners - it's a play alive with laughter, but also has the power to provoke reflection."
- Irish Theater Magazine
about NY Monologues

Hawk & Owl
The collaborative musical stylings of John Dyer and Hilary Hawke, with fellow musicians Mike Brown and Brian Geltner.
This alt-bluegrass, oldtime, Americana rock band was recently featured at the Roosevelt Live Festival, NYC.
