Last night, Amy Dannenmueller, Angelo Berkowitz, and myself won Best Play after a vote by the audience in JustAsk Production’s Final “One Night Stands” competition for the year. Duncan Pflaster wrote a fantastic play for us called “Not in Those Shoes” in which our bodies were invaded by aliens during a performance in a play competition. They’ve now commissioned Duncan to write a show for them. I’ve been very lucky to work with Duncan as much as I have.
Another Awesome Review for Midsummer Night’s Dream Sequel
On June - 14 - 2010
The Happiest Medium calls our production of “The Thyme Of The Season” a great, colorful and worthy successor to the “prequel”. Today’s show was amazing. I’m so lucky to be working with such a brilliant cast of actors and as I mentioned Duncan’s a brilliant writer. We have three more performances: Friday, June 18th at 5pm, Saturday June 19th at 7pm, and Wednesday, June 23rd at 5:30pm.
Here’s the full review for those that are interested:

Positive review for “The Thyme of The Season”
On June - 12 - 2010
Though I was too busy learning iambic pentameter to ever sit down and announce it, I’m currently performing as Demetrius in a sequel to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s another Duncan Pflaster play — love him — called “The Thyme of the Season” or “A Midautumn Night’s Dream.”
The review says:
“it is all acted with infectious spirit. There is not a weak link in this gorgeous, enthusiastic cast.”
And mentions me specifically:
“The dialogue simulates Shakespearean verse with the occasional hilarious veer into modern language; “I want not the fount of rumor—not—well, I want people not to know about it,” says Demetrius.”
Pretty cool! Check out the entire story here: http://www.theasy.com/Reviews/thethymeoftheseason.php.
Performed “Pocket Universe” at the birthplace of beat poetry
On May - 26 - 2010
I recently had the chance to step in for an actor that broke his leg (teach me to use that expression) in a short play by Duncan Pflaster called “Pocket Universe.” Jeff Martin was supposed to play my role of Zack, though I’ve never met him I hope he gets better. Anyway, it was a brief one act where I was someone’s boyfriend in their fantasy world but just their co-worker in the “real world.” I had a blast and got to perform in the Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe is the East Village. I could swear I could feel the presence of Jack Kerouac and others like him who’d no doubt spent countless hours in that very space. I love my life.
One and a half hours and counting…

If you follow me on Twitter (@mattfalber),you’d know that today at 2pm I’m performing in a reading of a new play called “In Spirit” by the talented Duncan Pflaster. In it I play a young, attractive, con artist who winds up getting possessed by a renowned author’s dead lover. It’s a little like a modern day Blythe Spirit. In the mean time I’m chilling out and drinking some chai tea and getting ready to have a really great time!
