Q&A with Naked Stage Co-Founder Antonio Amadeo

Talkin’ in the Green Room With: Antonio Amadeo

BY BILL HIRSCHMAN

Welcome to a regular, if intermittent feature: Irreverent, lighthearted question & answer sessions with some of South Florida’s best known professionals. Unlikely but perhaps, secretly, Antonio Amadeo is actually a nasty rotten misanthrope, but no one will ever believe it. Amadeo is widely-regarded as one of the nicest guys and quietly talented members in the local theater community, eliciting comparisons to Tom Hanks and a teddy bear (although Amadeo himself reveals below that he’s Batman.) Over the decades he has built an enviable resume of acting roles, including the tortured souls in Mosaic Theatre’s The Elephant Man, GableStage’s The Pillowman and Promethean Theatre’s The Unseen...

Tickets are going fast for the Theatre Event of the Year!

The Fourth Annual 24-Hour Theatre Project is FAST approaching and we couldn't be more excited. Many of South Florida's top theatre artists are gearing up for the event that, every year, produces some of the most exciting theatre in the area.

Here's how it works: 4 dozen or so of the region's top actors, directors, playwrights and stage managers have 24 hours to write, rehearse and perform 9 brand new plays for a paying audience at 8pm on Monday, October 4. It's like the entire theatrical process on speed!

Tickets are $25 for General Admission and $50 for special VIP seating. For more info, please go to www.nakedstage.org.

See you there!

At the "meet & greet" for our first ever 24-Hour Theatre Project, director Kim St. Leon & playwright Ricky J. Martinez (Artistic Director of New Theatre) discuss their strategy for the short play Martinez will spend the next 12 hours writing from scratch. George Schiavone (www.schiavonephoto.com) is the photographer.

Archive Pic of the Week!

This is me (Producing Artistic Director Antonio Amadeo) during the photo call for Nerve by Adam Szymkowicz. I played oppostie my wife, Katherine, in the production which was directed by John Manzelli. I like this pic because it shows off a little of the detail I enjoyed putting into the set. It's our Karaoke corner of the "bar." Behind it was the "billiards room" with a full sized pool table. It's probably my favorite set I've done. Check out the pics at www.nakedstage.org!

Archive Pic of the Week!

Director Paul Tei and Lead Actor/Producer Katherine Amadeo relieve some stress by goofing around during George Schiavone's photo call for Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis. The Naked Stage's production in May of 2008 earned the company 6 Carbonell Award nominations including Best Director for Tei, Best Actress in a Play for Amadeo and Best Production of a Play. Sevim Abaza & Marty Mets won for Best Lighting Design and Best Sound Design, respectively. To see more 4.48 Psychosis pics, please visit our website at www.nakedstage.org.

Archive Pic of the Week!

Every week, the Naked Stage will post a random archive pic intended to give you a little added insight into who we are and what we do. These pics will include show pics, rehearsal shots, candid pics and pics from the company members' past. For the most part, these will be photos that will not make it into the website, but are fun to look at. I hope you enjoy.

This first shot is of Erin Joy Schmidt & Barry Tarallo rehearsing a scene for Elena Garcia's Randok’s Retirement Villa of Galactic Scoundrels and Their Cat-tastic Holiday Show for The Naked Stage's 24-Hour Theatre Project 2008 at the Miracle Theatre.

The second pic is founding company member John Manzelli taking a break from rehearsing Lucas Leyva's For Love of Play-Doh & F*ck You, Harold Pinter also for The Naked Stage's 24-Hour Theatre Project 2008.

The photographer for these particular pictures was Anabelle Amadeo. In all, there were 4 photographers working this event (All of them generously donated their time and talent). They were Anabelle Amadeo, Aran Graham, the great George Schiavone & Angela Garrett-Wallis.

WELCOME to the Naked Stage's BLOG!

Well, PHASE ONE of our new website is FINALLY up & running!!!

We have included this blog as part of our new website in order to update you on any recent news on the Naked Stage.

Please take a stroll through the new website, then come back here and let us know what you think.

We are very excited as each individual page has an entirely different artistic spin to it. We thought it was important to show that (like in our productions) you don't need a lot of money and hi-tech resources to do something artistic. As you will see, some of the site is still under construction, but we will continue to fill it out as the days go. But for now, there are 37 entirely different pages up and ready for you to view.

Check it out! What's your favorite page?!
