Planning productions for 2021

We will be tackling" Jammed: A stop motion drama" -- based on the stage play "Jam" by Vince Gatton. 

We are thrilled to produce a stop motion version of this fantastic script! 

Vince Gatton is a New York-based playwright and Drama Desk-nominated actor. His full- length play ALEXANDRIA won Sanguine Theatre Company’s Project Playwright Festival 2018, and his short play BETTER was one of the winners of the 2018 Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival. Other shorts have had readings in mtp’s annual CHERRY PICKING at the Wild Project in NYC; IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF HI-Q, BETTER, and HEY were both finalists for the National Playwriting Award at City Theatre in Miami; and another short, JAM, won Best Play in the 2015 LIC Short Play Festival at the Secret Theatre in Long Island City. WAKE, his first full-length play, was a semifinalist for PlayPenn, and a finalist with readings at Dayton Playhouse’s FutureFest, Boomerang Theatre’s First Flight Festival, and Vintage Theatre Productions’ Mystery/Thriller New Works Festival. He received a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Play for David Johnston's Candy and Dorothy, which he also performed at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre in Cape Cod. Other notable acting credits include Leigh Fondakowski’s SPILL at Ensemble Studio Theatre; Cock and Clean Alternatives at the Kitchen Theatre in Ithaca; I Am My Own Wife and Fully Committed at Barrington Stage Company; I Am My Own Wife again at Coachella Valley Rep (Desert Star Award Nomination) and Two Turns Theatre Company; Taylor Mac’s The Hot Month at Boomerang Theatre Company; and The Temperamentals at New World Stages, standing by for Michael Urie. You can also catch him being himself on a certain rerun of Jeopardy, in the documentary Married & Counting, and in the Pippin episode of Encore! on Disney+.
