COUNT TO TEN THE MUSICAL!
14th Street Theatre @ 344 East 14th Street
June 22, 2007-July 1st, 2007
Count To Ten is the new tap your feet to the beat musical
that charms young and old audiences
alike - a truly original family musical. Book and Lyrics by
Michael Blevins and Beth Clary. Music by Michael Blevins,
Scott Knipe, Bruce Sacks and David Wollenberger.
Directed/Choreographed by
Michael Blevins. Justin Boccitto and The Group Theatre Too,
LLC., producers. Once in a while a great musical comes
along
that captivates and uplifts its audiences. Count To Ten is
one
of those rare musicals in which a sharply etched script
leaves
you with characters who loom larger than life and a story
that
rings true. Count To Ten is a timeless tale of
friendship, romance and growth told through dance, song and
scene. From the pen of 'Victor Chase' comes an unfinished
script
with an unfinished love song that only a change of heart
will
allow him to write. Desperate to produce his show, Victor
finds himself entangled with the ballet dancing heiress of
'Starwood Performing Arts Camp' and a tough talking
teenager
who's irresistible charm makes him perfect for the lead in
Victor's new show. But just like his pen Victor is unsteady
and won't commit or could he return to New York with
something
more precious than a completed script in this musical
story of friendship and dance? Count on a fun-filled
musical
comedy treat that's sure to entertain everyone!

A message from Bill Kalatsky:
ActorsNY- Industry Event- Producers/ Actors/ Directors FREE
in
NYC this Wed.
Hi there,
I know it's been a while since you've had a casting email
from me, and
there is a good reason.
I have been working steadily behind the scenes on a number
of feature
films.
A project I just got involved in with my friend Charles is
a new Rose
McGowan Movie, exec produced by Robert Rodriguez.
Charles also has a nightclub called the Star Lounge on 23rd
street
between 7th and 8th. It used to be called Serena. It's
right next to the Chelsea Hotel.
I proposed to Charles that he has an industry event there
this Wednesday night. This is the first film he is
producing, so he thought it would
be a good idea to begin to network a little more in the
industry.
Charles's girlfriend, Heather Graham, is an actress that
you probably
know. She is starting to produce, as well. It's going to be
a nice crowd.
So, this is a relaxed fun event. It will start at 8 pm and
go as late
as we want. There is no charge to attend until 10 pm. After
10 pm, it may be
too crowded to get in.
I will be there, as well as other directors, producers,
writers, etc.
There won't be any announcements, or giveaways, like at the
industry dinners. Just a fun night of networking.
If we are already friends and have hung out together--and
you get there
late and have trouble getting in, call me.
Shoot me an email with any questions, or if you want to let
me know you
are coming.
If it seems productive, we will do it more often and invite
more
industry guests.
PS
If you are planning on joining us, PLEASE read my book
first--- you
will be much happier at the end of the night when you are
able to use what you learned in the book.
To purchase, go to ActorsNY.com and click the book link, or
go to
myspace.com/actorsguide and order from there.
It's in the Drama book shop too, though I think they are
sold out.
Hope to see you there,
