FAUX-BIA! is a brand new, fast-paced musical, written in the style of the father of ancient Greek comedy, Aristophanes, and stars the most renowned characters of Greek mythology. We speak to the producers Angelika Sandora and Sophia Dama. The story begins just after Aristophanes’ most famous heroine “Lysistrata”, announced an outrageous plan to blackmail the men of Greece, by withholding what men want most from women!

FAUX-BIA!’s subject matter is that which Aristophanes would definitely comment on if he was alive today: the WORLD CRISIS, in both politics and personal relationships, through the lens of Greek political satire. The solution, as in most of his plays, lies in the power of the female libido!

FAUX-BIA! features beautiful women, eccentric soothsayers,
mermaids, magical elixirs, exotic journeys, a bunch of sex-starved men (and women!), and a hilarious chorus of men and women who sing and dance and constantly brawl to the rhythm of lively music and primal drum beats from all over the world, proving that phobia is nothing but fake violence, a…FAUX-BIA!

“Blackbird” is a play written in 2005 by Scottish playwright David Harrower. It was inspired in part by the crimes of sex offender Toby Studebaker, an American Marine who made contact with an 11-year-old girl in rural Scotland, took her for three days to Paris, and spent another 2 days in Strasbourg. He was arrested, served 4 years and 11 months in Scotland, was deported to the U.S. where he is serving an additional 11 years and 4 months, and a concurrent 7-year 11-month sentence for possessing child pornography.

“The Little Flower” is an educational, inspirational and at times comedic one-man show set in the office of Fiorello H. La Guardia, during his last day as three-term Mayor of New York City in 1945. The stage is a theatricalized representation of the American-Georgian City Hall building in Manhattan’s City Hall Park. This show can be performed with either a full set, limited set or touring set on a limited budget.

“The Little Flower” presents a historic look into the life and career of Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia – a courageous and flamboyant personality, who read comics to the children during a newspaper strike, fought against corruption and cleaned up city politics setting a new standard for mayors and politicians in America. He was a great statesman and champion of the poor and under privileged, and a father figure to millions of Americans living through the hard times of the 1930’s and 1940’s. La Guardia was a man of integrity with outstanding principles, morals and values whose voice resonated throughout America. He was steadfast in standing up for his beliefs regardless of obstacles, challenges or political agenda.

The show is set in “present time-1945” and “flashbacks.” Chronologically, it re-enacts important events in La Guardia’s life and the lessons he learned. It moves colorfully through the first half of the 20th century in America, and provides a clear vision of a man who not only lived through those times, but helped shape them. The problems La Guardia faced parallel those we are facing now. He held strong convictions on family values, inflation, women’s suffrage, financial responsibility, education, unions, political corruption and prohibition. He transcended political party barriers while holding strong to his plan of action that served him well then and could serve the American people today!

What this world needs is another La Guardia, and I am truly honored and excited to present “The Little Flower”, the return of our One-Man Show. This adaptation is enlightening and inspirational. His legacy will live on forever!

Please contact me upon receipt of the enclosed so that we can discuss the project in further detail at your early convenience.

THE CRITICS RAVE!
“A delight! New York’s most colorful mayor comes alive. A wonderful evening of theater. Tony Lo Bianco is brilliant!”

“Tony Lo Bianco shines in his stirring solo show about New York’s legendary mayor. Lo Bianco’s impassioned delivery of a vintage campaign speech could have been written yesterday. A highly energetic and entertaining performance!”
Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

“Tony Lo Bianco is a supremely talented and innovative actor who brings Mayor Fiorello La Guardia to life in an evening so exhilarating that New Yorkers – especially political junkie types — who don’t catch this one-man show should be fined. It would be a crime to miss it”
Linda Stasi, New York Post, commentator, NY1

“Bravo Tony! A wonderful performance about Mayor La Guardia,
a man of his time and ours.”
Pia Lindstrom

“Tony Lo Bianco gives a mesmerizing and beyond brilliant performance. His transition into La Guardia captures the essence of this lovable man. I for one nominate Tony Lo Bianco to run for mayor!”
Jules Peimer, Broadway After Dark

“Mr. Lo Bianco’s award-winning performance should not be missed! Please take time from your busy schedule and go see Tony Lo Bianco’s extremely realistic performance. You will not be sorry. He is so convincing you feel as though you are looking at and hearing
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia live on stage.”
James C. Lisa, Italian American Journal

“He is inspiring!”

you to a bygone era in NYC’s history. It is as topical as
today’s news with a history lesson to boot.
Tony is superb in delivering a fascinating performance.”
Joe Bruno, Commissioner NYC OEM

Thomas DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller

AND THE FAMILY!

“Tony Lo Bianco is LaGuardia! To watch the joyous faces of all who see him in this role reminds us of the great love New Yorkers still have for their former Mayor”
