Hi All,

This Saturday I'll be performing in a two hander of a scene from the full length Iraq War drama "HEADS" at the Workshop Mainstage Theater. 312 W 36 St., 4th floor, NY NY 10018.

Also I've taped a new episode of One Life to Live on ABC that should be airing in the coming week. So stay tuned to that dial.

In addition I've booked and recorded twelve promos for Musical Theater International to be used as advertisments for their stable of big musicals (i.e. West Side Story, Jekyl and Hyde, etc.).

Tombstone: Saga of the Americans - The West

2010-07-22T08:49:00.003-04:00

I'm directing the world premiere of Tombstone: Saga of the Americans - The West for the Inwood Shakespeare Festival, performing through July 31 in New York City.

Tombstone: Saga of the Americans - The West is a new western fantasy that explores the definition of justice and honr in the formation and development of the boomtown settlements of the Southwest. It is the story of real people in their struggle to be morally responsible to a greater community while striving to remain true to their aspirations and individual freedom. This story is illustrated through the historical conflict between Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp & his brothers against the Clanton "Cowboy" Gang which climaxed at the legendary shootout at the O.K. Corral.

Breathe(ing) in the NYC Fringe Festival

2009-07-28T20:07:00.002-04:00

Hey there!

I wanted to let you know about the latest project I'm working on. It's a new play called BREATHE by Tim MacMillan and it's running as part of the NYC FRINGE FESTIVAL, which produces new works in limited runs to showcase productions for publication and perhaps for a chance to be a forthcoming production in a company's future season.

A little bit of info about the show and it's purpose is below. Only FIVE performances, with a possible six if they all sell out. Tickets are available for $15 at www.FringeNYC.org or call 866-468-7619.

Breathe... Jill grows up in a dysfunctional home and becomes afflicted with Lupus. Now she faces a make-or-break moment. To summon strength - she looks back for new answers. A survival story that speaks to everyone who has or is facing critical choices. It's a life affirming hour and 20 mins!!

Aim High Productions was started in 2003 by Jill Nicole Kuirsky to bring theatre and awareness about Lupus to the community. Aim High Productions have raised thousand of dollars for people living with this disease. See Breathe.. will continue to support people with this disease. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, which means that the body's natural defense system (immune system) attacks its own tissues instead of attacking foreign substances like bacteria and viruses. This causes inflammation. Inflammation causes swelling, pain, and tissue damage throughout the body. If you develop severe lupus, you may have problems with your kidneys, heart, lungs, nervous system, or blood cells.

Starring: Jill Nicole Kuirsky, Meghan Lowery, Dara O'Brien, Aaron Simms, Lily Kleinman, Clint Zugel, Karen Lynn Gorney, Gary Corbin, Chelsea D'Aprile, Le-Anne Garland, Paul Gregg, Sammy Mena, and Audrey Amey
