BAIT n' SWISH - Performances Added

by Thomas Gualtieri


January 19 - February 10, 2012

I play dozens of characters in David Sisco's critically-acclaimed two-man show, BAIT n’ SWISH, directed by Laura Josepher. Performances are added after a successful run in 2010. The show is hailed as “the funniest evening of theatre I’ve seen…,” our “warm, witty, smart” and “sophisticated.” At Stage Left Studio.


BAIT n' SWISH at Stage Left Studio

by Thomas Gualtieri


October - November 2011

Two plays, two folding chairs, two actors, 49 characters. BAIT n' SWISH tells the story of Justin and Charlie who must navigate a series of hilarious situations (including a gay, speed-dating night) which force them to confront their true feelings.

These short, interconnected plays are brought together for the first time at Stage Left Studio. BAIT had previously played in venues worldwide. With David Sisco and me as Justin & Charley and a mess of other characters.

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER at NYMF

by Thomas Gualtieri


September 26 - October 1, 2006

Based on the novel and the classic film thriller starring Robert Mitchum, Lillian Gish and Shelley Winters, The Night of the Hunter concerns an evil preacher who pursues two young children. Scary stuff. The film was the only movie directed by the great actor Charles Laughton and is highly regarded by film buffs (like me). I was Associate Director for this musical adaptation and played Ben Harper, father of little John & Pearl, whose crime sets the story in motion. The musical version featured Beth Fowler, Dee Hoty, and Mary Stout. Directed by Nona Lloyd.
