One man’s poison is another man’s meat: “ARTFUCKERS” & “MONKEY TRICK”

 

This time last year David Marcus was starring in a gritty, downtown play written by Michael Domtrovich, directed by Eduardo Machado called Artfuckers at Theatre for The New City. I went to this show twice, entertained both times. I went to the show primarily because I had worked with Dave on Williamsburg and several plays, but also because I had seen a reading of the play during the Summer of the previous year at Intar Studios and was impressed by Domitrovich’s writing. I should mention that the production also included the very capable actors: Nicole LaLiberte, Jessica Kaye, and Tuomas Hiltunen. The only incapable actor in the cast was Asher Grodman.

The show at Theatre For The New City was a success and got funding… From none other than Asher Grodman’s parents.

It is currently running Off-Broadway at the DR2. It opened the same week as Monkey Trick.

The funny thing is in the casting. We began casting for Monkey Trick in early December: Anne Fidler and Penny Bittone already cast as the roles of Wendy and Wilson respectively. Garrett was the trick… We cast the part once, had an actor drop out; held a casting, cast it again, and felt better about our decision even though time was running out.
