DAVID CALE at La MaMa reprises DEEP IN THE HEART OF YOU in honor of the release of his book SHOWS (LuLu Press)

A number of my friends did as I did on Saturday night go to La MaMa  to be regaled by the gorgeous talent of the best living monologist in the world  ( ok he is mine ..line up your choices) . His name is David Cale and he is well known in the theater community and to directors like Woody Allen. He has appeared in films and numerous TV shows  ( multiple Law And Orders), He is most alive in his theatrical solo performances

La MaMA's Curator at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club Nicky Paraiso  asked David to reprise his Bessie award winning solo performance  DEEP IN THE DREAM OF YOU  in honor of the publishing of SHOWS four monologues written and performed by David Cale. SHOWS by David Cale the book  His masterful recreation of the award winning performance took the audience on sultry journey of gender bending and erotic memory that manage to create an atmosphere of heavy breathing, tissue demanding tears and spontaneous laughter. It was no accident. Here in SHOWS , published by LuLu Press you have four of these pieces. If taught at a master class acting seminare level these pieces would show how theater is at it's core luminescent.  Theatrical magic is when an actor's instrument meshes with the written word to bring authentic life to a moment by moment performance. David Cale is that kind of gifted actor and gifted writer . A perfect book for any aspiring actor and a rewarding creative challenge to both actor and audience to read.
