This Saturday Dec. 2nd at the Chain Theater in Midtown Manhattan, FEMMAFIA will run two shows (2:30pm and 5:30pm). The 5:30 show is approaching selling out, so the matinee will have better seats available. Tickets to the show include food and drinks!

The show touches on some serious topics and features the voice of a young, black female writer. In it I play a man hellbent on keeping his family business on top of the food chain. 5 young ladies from the roughest part of the Bronx cross paths with me in the worst of ways, and the rest you’ll have to find out!!!

Much love friends. If you’re interested, just give me a shout. Tickets are available through the Chain Theater Box office.

Tickets are available at the Box Office. Please contact Sevi Production for all questions regarding this rental at the theatre.

Anyone local to the Hudson Valley (or willing to travel to the HV) interested in starting up (any role…acting, producing, writing, filming, etc) a skit comedy web-based series/group? I’m thinking of regularly filming around one or two times/monthly, simple setups, pop culture parodies, satire, original scripted shorts, and even some improv. 1-3 minutes ideal running time for each bit. This is something I’ve wanted to do for years and now seems like as good a time as ever to network, laugh and create together. This would all happen here in the Hudson Valley with very little budget at first.

I always have plenty in the works as far as film projects for HVFP are concerned. This would be a separate venture, but I could definitely see the worlds blending in a great way. Just message and we can talk.

Much love,
Vinnie

Same article picked up by a different news site, but the headline is focused on Cuffed! With the acting world on strike until the studios make nice with actual humans again, it’s a great time to develop those passion projects. Well, Cuffed is mine. Please, if you’re interested in helping bring the show to life in any way don’t hesitate to contact me. The gears are turning but there is still a giant hill to climb. Much love my talented friends and may we all rise together.

I was asked sooo many questions, and I’m an easy one to get to say something goofy if the right question is asked. I think I did okay, minus the whole Narnia thing…lol! Haha, love it ,that she put that in there though. Cool write-up for Patch NYC putting the local scene on notice! Much love my friends, and thank you for your support.
