Just returned from a fun interview with actor Tom Pelphrey and his friends of the Apothecary Theatre Company. US Townhall is committed to supporting the entrepreneurs and up-and-comers from all walks of life. Contact us, and tell us your RealStoryTM. We want to hear it.
For this RealStory, Tom Pelphrey, Dennis Flannagan, Kate Russell, and Shawn Renfro talk with us about their theatrical venture and all that goes into getting a production off the ground.
Also, we sit one-on-one with Tom Pelphrey, one of the more popular stars of Guiding Light in its recent years, to talk about his experiences there.
We'll have the full segments up shortly, but in the meantime, enjoy a quick, YouTube version of the signoff segment. We were going to edit this out, but hey, it wouldn't be a RealStory without a glitch or two.
All in all, I had a fun time with the gang, and I think what they're doing in helping to bring independent voices to the New York City theatrical experience is well worth supporting.
Their next event is a fundraiser featuring a stage reading of the play "Grotesque Lovesongs" by playwright Don Nigro. The ATC has previously performed Nigro's plays, "Fair Rosamund and Her Murderer" and "Wonders of the Invisible World Revealed."

Tickets for this October 10 fundraiser featuring Tom along with Guiding Light cast members Kim Zimmer, Grant Aleksander, and Bonnie Dennison should still be available, so if you're in the New York area on Saturday, October 10, this would be a great way to spend an evening and help raise funds for their next production, "In God's Hat," which is scheduled to premiere in July 2010.
Keep checking back with US Townhall because the full interview segments will be posted as soon as possible.
