Larry Houbre, AKA ‘Lectric Lar’, conceived the idea for the show during the summer of 2004. Having been involved with theatre since 1974 when he was in high school, he is familiar with the music, which includes up-lifting, emotion provoking, and just plain fun songs. Tidbits and trivia about the shows are interspersed between sets, revealing the rich history of the genre.

Your Theatre in New Bedford is presenting “Denial” this November 8 through 18 (2012) . The show is about a contest of intellect and will. A tenacious civil liberties attorney is chosen to defend a right-wing Holocaust denier. She argues her case against a young, committed Jewish federal prosecutor. It’s very interesting in that “proof” for and against the Holocaust is presented, but the pendulum swings back an forth on whom you believe, and what is truth and the desire to see justice served.
I portray the young, committed Jewish federal prosecutor. Don’t miss it!

My latest directorial adventure opens Thursday, September 13, 2012 at Your Theatre (508-993-0772). The cast is comprised of two YTI regulars and five actors new to the YTI stage. The set design by Mark Fuller is wonderful, cramming two bedrooms, dining room, living room, hallway and porch onto the 20-foot wide stage. The costumes are period (mid-1930’s) and even the props are right on. (Thank you Suzanne and David!)
I hope to see you there! Ask for me. Say hi!
