It’s always cool to see a performer that you really look up to. It’s even cooler when you get to share a stage with them. But when you perform on the same stage they’re on twice at two different occassions, two nights in a row, it’s something those credit card commercials would call “priceless.”

Duncan Pflaster called me to be play Rick, a selfish, know it all and inferior scientist in one of his plays for Just ASK Production’s “One Night Stands” evening of short plays hosted by John Tartaglia. Apparently someone dropped out. One of these days I’ll actually be the first choice in one of his shows. In the meantime, I’m extremely grateful that he continues to call. We performed Duncan’s short comedy and watched the other plays and then at some point in the night, John came up to me and said I was great. I told him how much I enjoyed his song earlier and he said something very humble.

Then… the very next night I went to sing in my friend Colleen’s show at the TimeOut NY Lounge. It just so happened that John Tartaglia was hosting… again! He recognized me and we briefly chatted… such a nice guy.

After two months in New York City things are looking fine. It’s always difficult breaking into a new scene but New York’s creative forces have definitely taken note of Matt Falber. I’ve received several callbacks and was cast in a show which my team and I decided to decline. I’m also currently working on a screenplay. It’s a thriller that focuses on those who have it all but still aren’t happy. I’ll be releasing more details in the distant future.

“It was an interesting experience,” say Falber about his recent experience behind the camera. Falber recently worked as Post Production Coordinator for Edgeworx on an upcoming pilot for VH1. “I can’t tell you too much about it since it’s not out… [but] it’s a spoof of an entertainment gossip program.” Falber says he enjoyed the project but notes, “I haven’t lost my focus. It’s interesting to be a part of projects like this and it puts money in my pocket… music and acting are my passion.”

Hey everybody! I hope you enjoy the new site. You can still find all the stuff that used to be on here, plus we’ve added some new goodies. Enjoy!

Love and Life,

Matt
