Chicago Theater Blog Weighs In!

"One of the most visually intriguing shows of the season"

http://chicagotheaterblog.com/2010/04/20/the-meatlocker-review/

Centerstage Weighs In

Fisher has a way with disturbing characters - the seedy Radio Howard (Vinny Lacey) and Gonzalez's twitchy Benny are particularly memorable - and there are scenes where the tension and disgust he creates in the audience are palpable. The low-ceilinged basement space and the truly unsettling sound design (uncredited) help significantly..the sections that work are exceptionally effective... an evening that really gets under your skin.

Meet the Cast - Dave Goss

Dave Goss is an actor, writer, and the managing director of Chicago’s WNEP Theater. He lives on the north side of the city with his wife, Lori, a.k.a. DADA Nip, a.k.a. WNEP’s business manager, and their two crazy daughters, Maddie and Shelby. Dave is excited to be working the Mammals again, after appearing as Sammy in Sammy and the Cricketman, and as Edward Hyde in Clay Continent. He has also worked with a number of other theater companies in and outside of Chicago, played bit parts in several films, and appeared in a handful of commercials -- some you have seen and some you have not (that is, unless you watch late-night cable television in east-coast suburbia). Dave’s alter ego, DADA Grizzle, has been spotted wreaking havoc in various parts of the city, and, when not locked in the basement with his grandmother (who, like Grizzle, enjoys wrestling, tattoos, and wreckage), disgracing the stages of WNEP Theater’s DADA soirees, namely Blinde Essel Hopse and Schmuck die Hallen. Next fall, for WNEP, Dave will be directing a dada-esque, Theater of Cruelty meets Poor Theater style adaptation of A Clockwork Orange. Be sure to check it out.

Meet the Cast - Roy Gonzalez

This is Roy's first time working with the Mammals, an awesome group of dedicated and creative people! It's been a blast to play cops and robbers every night for the past two months on such an original and bold story. When not acting, you can find Roy working on the marketing staff of the Chicago Fringe Festival or talking about how proud he is to be a Texan. Roy would like to thank Bob and the crew for giving him the opportunity to have so much fun with this show. He'd also like to thank his friends and his parents for all their continuing support.

Meet the Cast - Vinny Lacey

Vincent Lacey is playing "Radio Howard" in THE MEATLOCKER. He is an actor, writer, producer, and otherwise multi-functional talent. His Mom always said he had a face for radio, so playing this part is a dream come true. For his mother. Vincent has trained with a lot of improv and comedy theaters in the great city of Chicago and enjoyed almost all of them. He was most recently in WNEP's production The (edward) Hopper Project. He is Associate Producer of the Chicago Fringe Festival (Pilsen 2010!) and occasionally you can find him on TV trying to sell you something. He thanks the Mammals and especially Bob Fisher for casting him and being the older brother he never wanted.

Come see Vinny call the fights at THE MEATLOCKER

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Mammals Theatre Company presents

THE MEATLOCKER

written and directed by Bob Fisher

THE MEATLOCKER is the tale of a boxer haunted by demons from his past warning that if he goes down for the full ten count, even if it's a dive, he wont ever get back up. Every time the boxer steps on the mat, he is fighting for his life. The real trouble occurs when the boxer meets a bookie who wont take no for an answer to a fixed fight.

THE MEATLOCKER is the third of three plays in a cycle entitled THE NOIR TRIPTYCH. Part ONE was BREED WITH ME, produced in January of 2010. Part TWO was DEVILS DON'T FORGET, previously presented in Spring of 2009.

Hey! Just Who The Heck Is In This Thing!?

RE: The MEATLOCKER



Folks are asking... "Hey! I don't get it. You got some folks who are in the show that we haven't seen yet on the blog. And, you got folks who aren't in the show in some of these graphics! What gives?"

Here's what gives. The Mammals are working on a production of MEATLOCKER opening this April 16th, and we have been working slowly but surely on a graphic novel version of the project since last year. Some of the folks who worked with us a year ago on photoshoots, etc. were a great help in laying down the ground work for the graphic novel still in development. Some of these folks will be in the upcoming production, some have committed to other projects this spring. But, they are all beloved by the Mammals and close friends.

We will be sharing some of the concept art work that was developed using images of these folks. Also, we will be bring you images of the newest cast members as well.

We hope you'll enjoy!

Sara Gorsky has won best actress for the 2010 Orgie Awards!

More on the Orgie award and ceremony below!

ORGIE THEATRE AWARD

The "Orgie" is an award to encourage original, innovative, risky, thrilling, inspiring, and possibly outlandish work in Chicago theatre.

The Orgie Theatre Award committee is an anonymous collection of theatre artists and patrons. The name "Orgie" is taken from the word "original." To be granted an Orgie, a nominee must receive a majority of the committee's votes. The Orgie Theatre Award committee does not claim to be fair, unbiased, or reasonable.
