You are cordially invited to the hilarious new comedy When Joey Married Bobby opening February 6, 2010 at Theatre 80 St. Marks Place.

“When Joey Married Bobby”, starring Lady Bunny, two-time S.A.G.Award Nominee Tina McKissick and introducing former Detroit Tiger Pitcher Matthew Pender as Joey, opens February 6, 2010 for an open-ended run at Off-Broadway house Theatre 80 St. Marks, between 1st & 2nd Avenues.

From the comic mind of GLAAD Award winning playwright, William Wyatt (Peachtree Battle, A Sunday Afternoon At Loehmans, The Limousine Ride and Veranda) comes a tale about gay marriage in an ultra conservative household. Bright-eyed hunk Joey (Matthew Pender) has finally met the man of his dreams and ready to take a plunge into marriage. The thought of a gay wedding has Joey’s southern socialite mother Sarah Edwards (Tina McKissick) in quite a tizzy. Worried that the news of her son’s nuptials might jeopardize her chances of winning “Christian of the Year,” Sarah stops at nothing to protect her name, image and reputation. The legendary Lady Bunny co-stars in the play as the power-wielding, Baptist Minister’s Wife, Charity Divine.

Seeking Great Screenwriters for Free Manhattan Workshop

NYScreenwriters.org is a group of skilled writers who get together every other Monday evening in midtown Manhattan to hear our screenplay pages performed (by four superb actors, with a different cast each session) and then critiqued.

Our diverse membership includes working screenwriters, directors, TV writers, playwrights, theatre reviewers, professional script readers, book authors, journalists, and comedians. However, we’re all sharp screenwriters with a thorough grounding in the fundamentals (instigating incident, three-act structure, etc.) and a very strong understanding of storytelling.

The workshop is entirely free.

To apply for membership, please email us a very strong feature screenplay you’ve written. (Alternatively, you can send just the first 40-50 pages, which will be enough to give us a sense of how you’re handling structure.) Please also include your phone number, and a little information about your writing and film background.

If your approach seems compatible with ours, we’ll typically get in touch within a couple of weeks of receiving your pages.

We have a limited number of open slots and membership is fairly competitive, so please don’t be put off if you don’t hear back from us; we have to say “no” to the vast majority of submissions.

That said, if you’re serious about getting your work sold and have a professional attitude, please feel encouraged to give us a try.

For more information, please visit our Web page at www.NYScreenwriters.org and then email us at NYScreenwriters*at*optonline.net. If you’re a talented writer focused on listening and improving, we’d love to hear from you.

Who is Perez Hilton? Perez Hilton is the name of Mario Lavandeira’s hugely successful celebrity gossip blog (www.PerezHilton.com). Perez has made millions for Mario because it is read by millions everyday – it averages 260 million page views a month.

That is some success story. And something we can all learn lessons from.

So, here are the 7 things every actor/singer/dancer can learn from PerezHilton.com:

1. Find an idea you have passion for.
Perez blogged about celebrities “because it was something I was inherently curious about, fascinated with.” Make sure your project is something you’re passionate about. You’re going to be working on it for at least 2 years and you’ll need to stay enthusiastic both to work on the project and to work on promoting it long after its finished.

2. Find an idea there is an audience for.
Celebrity gossip pulls in a big crowd and Perez has capitalized on this. Your project should have audience appeal, whether it be for the quirky festival circuit followers or prepubescent girls. Try to avoid making a project about a deeply traumatic bus ride you once had unless it says something to someone else.

3. Be consistent.
Perez posts about 40 times a day, on average. That is a fearsome work rate but he does it because he loves his blog and he needs to keep working at it to keep it working. If you’re writing or planning your project you need to make sure that you’ve a work ethic just as strong. Be consistent, set goals and strive to meet them everyday.

4. Be unique.
Have a voice that stands out from the crowd. There is no point churning out the same projects as everyone else, be they genre blockbusters or cut and paste indie arthouse. Perez differentiated his blog from other gossip pages with personal touches such as writing messages on the photos. Your project too should project your personal voice loudly and clearly.

5. Do not be censored.
Perez gets in trouble for saying what he thinks. Every time he does it and a celebrity attacks him, his blog gets more popular. Stay strong and don’t let you’re creative vision waver. Make the project the way you want to make it.

6. Experiment with monetization.
Perez realized that he could monetize his blog, experimented with several different advertising formats and now gets paid up to $54,000 for a short campaign. As an artist you need to have a good idea about how your project is going to make its money; check out crowd sourcing, social media marketing and other self-distribution techniques.

7. Develop your career.
Perez started with a blog but has grown a media empire of TV shows, book deals and even clothing lines around his persona. Have a long term plan and remember to work towards. Develop friends and contacts in the industry, make yourself known and refer to your goals. Make sure you have an answer when someone asks you “what’s next?”

ARE YOU A LARGER THAN-LIFE MOM PLANNING AN OVER-THE-TOP PARTY FOR YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER?

Then this is your chance to be featured in an upcoming episode of the hit reality series “Party Mamas”.
We’re looking for outgoing moms and/or dads who are planning a fabulous party for their son/daughter. From a Birthday Party to a Stagette, anything Goes- as long as the ‘Party Mama’ is ready to pull up her sleeves and have an elaborate bash.

Successful candidates will receive fair compensation in addition to a DVD copy of the episode.

Send an email to PRETTYPARTYCASTING@GMAIL.COM with your contact information, photo and details on your party.

“Actual reality TV show stars and veterans sit in and dish tips, dirt and give you an insiders seat to reality TV!” Jason Kennedy, E! Entertainment News

“Robert Galinsky is the Reality TV guru…” Andrew Hampff, Advertising Age

“Reality-show professor…” Maryellen Fillo, The Hartford Courant

“Galinsky, a 40-something theater operative, director, acting coach and impresario, runs the program. He’s a bundle of energy and curly black hair.” Melik Kaylan, The Wall Street Journal

“Coach to the ‘Stars’.” Gigi Stone & Melia Petria, ABC Nightline News

“And there’s the rub, for in the age of the voyeur, of random celebrity and disgrace, the Big Brother syndrome infects all media — TV, Internet, radio, gossip, email — and ultimately reality itself. We all seem to walk before a perpetual camera. Privacy, like oil, may be a diminishing commodity. Mr. Galinsky and his kind will have taught us to whoop and applaud as it disappears.” Melik Kaylan, The Wall Street Journal
