The new CD, INDELIBLE was a labor of love recorded mostly at Dave Budrys [of Chuckleheads and Patty Elvis fame] fine studio in Evanston, IL, EARLY RECORDING. Additional recording was done at rawkin' percussionist/engineer Sue Hadjopoulos' NYC studio, (some of you may know Sue from her work with Cyndi Lauper, Joe Jackson, Enrique Iglesias, Simple Minds...)

David is also a member of the sketch group Below the Belt, which performs at The Belt Theatre the second Tuesday of each month.

"There is something wrong with me and they can't figure out what it is."
A rant, a run on sentence, heightened every day chatter between your MRI and your CATscan. Come and get gooey with a reading of "There is something wrong with me and they can't figure out what it is."
Directed by Honor Mosher.

Florence Yoo
Florence Yoo is a Korean American wisenheimer/singer/songwriter. She has performed at: schools and colleges including Univ. of Michigan @Ann
Arbor, Harvard, NYU, Joe's Pub, Cobi's Place, the Cutting Room, Boston Comedy Club, and was recently seen at Liam McEneaney/Angela Bowers'

It's been a little while since I've rambled... So
here we go...

BIG HUGE THANKS TO the gifted and prolific JULIA CHO
for having me be a part of her awesome play, BAY AND
THE SPECTACLES OF DOOM at the La Jolla Playhouse in
sunny CA! More deets below...

Florence's review corner...

Theatre

CHILDREN'S LETTERS TO GOD
Yes, real children are in this cast! My first thought
was: are these really kids, or 40 year-old midgets?
Mainly because these performers were seasoned pros!
The set was beautiful. Very light on the God stuff,
good if you're not into that sort of thing, not so
good if you are looking for something spiritual.

DOGEATERS
Jessica Hagedorn's beautiful, dark, disturbing, intense,
hypersexual show about the Phillipines. I wouldn't
bring the kids. Rodney To's portrayal of
hustler/junkie, JOEY was poignant and memorable... I
have been a longtime fan of Rodney's -- now more than
ever!

'NIGHT MOTHER
Marsha Norman's evening of a woman with mother
issues... One of my favorite plays of all time...
When I read this play, I thought of it as the
daughter's story. The current production on Broadway
is all about Brenda Blethyn, Brenda Blethyn, Brenda
Blethyn... It's a truly remarkable performance.

BAY AND THE SPECTACLES OF DOOM
Julia Cho wrote this delightful children's play for
the La Jolla Playhouse in La Jolla, CA. Somehow she
got some crazy idea into her head that I should write
some music for a few of the songs. I did. She and
the theater enlisted the directing talents of Robert
Castro. Robert and triple threat, Rodney To
CHOREOGRAPHED the last number for the staged reading
last week! It was so much fun!

The talented cast:
Amir Khastoo
Jeannine Marquie
Joseph T. Narducci
Rodney To*
Anne Tran

*Member of Actor's Equity Association, the Union of
Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United
States.

Many, many thanks to Julia and Robert, Rodney and the
cast for an amazing experience!

This play will tour in CA in 2005.

Look out for Julia Cho's new play, BFE that will
premiere at the Long Wharf Theater in CT, and will
also be presented Playwrights Horizons in NYC in 2005!

CONGRATULATIONS, JULIA!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy whatever y'all celebrate and God bless you and
yours and please, please, please come on by on Friday!

Love,
Florence

A little help from Ali Costine and Luis Vega on my ranting and raving piece about working in the restaurant biz..Bring your friends, please. There is only one woman in this darn thing, I need to fill the seats.
