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!

Every year McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ works with five different New Jersey schools to talented cultivate young playwrights. Over the period of ten weeks selected students create one act plays that will eventually be performed in New York. I was fortunate enough to spend an amazing day recently performing readings of the plays with other NY actors so that students could get a chance to hear their play for the first time. It was an amazing experience to perform play after play all day long. The calibre of the high school senior’s work was astounding. If all goes well I’ll be doing three more readings of a similar fashion with McCarter.

I recently portrayed the role of Kyle in Les Simpson’s new play “The Bad Hostess” with three other cast members in an initial reading of the script. The show reflects on religion, homosexuality, and family in a sort of holiday twist on “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” The show will be performed in December.
