Matthew is currently starring the Bad Musicals Festival, in Stranded! The Musical, and Falling In Love Again.
BAD MUSICALS FESTIVAL '08
Genre: Comedy, Lesbian+Gay, Musical, Festival, Other
presented by NY Artists Unlimited as part of the International Cringe Festival
These musicals are not actually bad but REALLY GOOD. However, they are all naughty, satirical, and politically incorrect. They're filled with bad language/puns and other sorts of things that would be otherwise frowned upon.
Approximately twelve short musicals are arranged in various theme evenings (ex: Is That a Gun in Your Pocket?). The bad house band, Bronze Fondue, and East Village comedians provide entertainment between the shows.
At the Fairies & Phantasies Benefit (7/25), legendary actress Marilyn Sokol and Warhol superstar Ultra Violet will be presented with honorary golden pineapples. Benefit attendees are encouraged to come in costume as a wacked-out version of their favorite children's character, and to bring a toy or book to donate to needy children. There will be costume prizes and raffles. Co-chairing this event are playwright Jean Hart and Kimberly Kopera. In keeping with the bad children's theatre theme that night, there will be lunchbox specials: assorted finger sandwiches (including P&J!), cupcakes, cake, cookies, penny candy, punch, booze, and more.
There will be a Carmen Miranda Closing Benefit (8/10), featuring the presentation of the Golden Pineapple, Silver Tomato, and Bronze Banana (award winners selected by audience vote) for the playwrights & directors and the presentation of the Jack Lemons for the best bad actor & actress. Costumes are encouraged and there will be prizes. Come dressed as your favorite fruit! There will be a special award for the Best Carmen. $25 per person ($20 if you come in costume) benefits the company's work with under-served children & families, seniors & elderly. There will be entertainment, food, booze, and lots of fruit!

Matthew is currently starring in the Off-Off Broadway Production;
Dutch Courage - The Musical at the Wings Theatre.
Music: Sean Peter Fred C.L. Mann III Performances: |
Dutch Courage is a powerful and timely musical providing strong roles for 10 male actors. Set inAmsterdam during the occupation of Nazi Germany, Dutch Courage brings a unique perspective to the historic occurrences of World War II, affecting its audiences with messages of acceptance, persecution and survival. Based on fact, Dutch Courage is a graphic tale of personal identity, belief in the betterment of the world, persecution of minorities and the cement of friendship, loyalty, and the redeeming of the human spirit. As Nazi Germany besets Europe a small group of resistance fighters in Amsterdam do their darndest to change the course of the planet. They play many dangerous games as the mercurial rules of survival morph before them. They were not Jews, socialists or communists. Not philosophers, politicians, musicians, or actors. They were homosexual.
