Jim Gambaro Photography at the Cooley Dick North Gallery in September
I just saw a really interesting photography exhibit by local photographer Jim Gambaro at the North Gallery of Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton. It’s called “Soft Focus.”
Check it out. It runs the month of September.
The critics have been kind
The reviews are in and “One Down,” the new play by my son, Michael, is a hit.
“The play, written by Mike Poblete…is a moving, frequently funny look at loss, raging, drams and human connection.”
–Deborah Martin, Arts Writer, San Antonio Express-News
If you’re in San Antonio area , you can catch it at the Overtime Theatre through August 27.
If you’re in the NYC area, Michael has a new play going up on August 15 at the Louise Lortel Theatre, 121 Christopher St at 4 pm, called “Surfacing.” It’s free, but you need to register for a ticket.
Surfacing: Aug. 15 in Greenwich Village
I’m very excited to announce my son Michael’s newest play, SURFACING, being developed by Primary Stages as part of the Drills 2016 series! For you non-theater folk, Primary Stages is a celebrated Off-Broadway company. Basically, this is kind of a big deal for Michael.
The month long rewrite process culminates with a FREE staged reading Monday, August 15th at 4pm at the Lucille Lortel Theater in Greenwich Village. Here’s the link to book your seat:
I will still be in Europe at that time, but I hope you can make it. It is free, but you need to book a seat.
