Back from the Desert and Ready for Parent’s Art Night 2019

Always exciting to let my alter ego drop in for an intimate show at Jalopy to celebrate Parents Art Night, a benefit and fun time produced for PS 29. This show is fun and the only way for me to make up for a disastrous auction appearance from a year ago. Will I be able to redeem myself in the eyes of drunk parents eating free chips sitting in old church pews in a tiny space along the Columbia Waterfront? Who knows. But look at it this way, free chips.

So yes, we flew back from a work trip to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree to make it back in time for this show – so if you’d like to attend – you totally should. Drinks, song, a little comedy, and the aforementioned chips. Plus lots of jokes about parenting that I can’t really do anywhere else. You want to hear a tight five on how much I hate slime and youtube stars? This is the show for you.

Here’s the info:
This art night brings parents together to celebrate their creativity! We’ll enjoy 2 hours of comedy, musical performances, readings, and good old fun all served up by the talented parents and alumni of the PS29 community! Tuesday, April 16th @ Jalopy Theatre, 8-10pm.

Purchase tickets here for $40 per person, includes 2 drinks and light snacks. (So I guess the chips aren’t exactly free, but still – chips!)

And ohmygod, we had a good time in Palm Springs, Phoenix, and Joshua Tree. I posted way too many pictures of cacti over on instagram. But I’m still putting one here, because look at that thing. Amazing.

Parents Arts Night at Jalopy Featuring Dale!

Dale’s by no means the star of the show at the upcoming Parents Arts Night at Jalopy in Brooklyn. But he might be a reason to go. I know I love it, because it’s a chance to perform alongside some talented parents while also raising a little scratch for the fine educational programs at PS29. The school has been terrific and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super excited to do this show. Just seeing the hidden talents of the other parents is gift enough. It would be great to see you as well. Some of you may know that I do voice overs, and recently I walked in for a paired audition and who was there? Another parent! We have the same agent. Which I guess is not so weird, but it felt pretty weird. And our paired audition in a tiny tiny recording box was also pretty effing weird. But, there it is, people have talents. So why not come out, enjoy some music, comedy, and whatever else people have going on when not chasing kids around the playground, or sitting quietly in the hall during parent teacher conferences.
