Hewitt, Warren, Heller Star in DEAD AGENTING Reading, 10/18

Dead Agenting, a new play that is "not about Scientology" by award-winning independent filmmaker/playwright Aaron Mark, will receive a private reading in Manhattan on Monday, October 18^th.

The reading will feature Tom Hewitt (The Rocky Horror Show, Dracula), Adam Heller (Victor/Victoria, Random Unrelated Projects), Amy Warren (The Adding Machine), Katie Klaus (A Catered Affair, Random Unrelated Projects), Frank Vlastnik (A Year With Frog and Toad, Random Unrelated Projects), Lance Rubin (Things to Ruin), and BrIan Williams.

Dead Agenting exposes a fictional religious organization called "Catharsigy" and its practice of "dead agenting" dissenters. According to the writer, however, "This play was not remotely inspired by and does not have anything whatsoever with Scientology. I myself know next to nothing about Scientology, so the idea that I would write a potentially incendiary play about L. Ron Hubbard and Tom Cruise and think that by changing their names no one would notice is absurd."

Aaron Mark is the writer/director of two independent feature films, Random Unrelated Projects (Best Experimental Feature, New York International Film Festival) and Zbornik Developing, a documentary about actress-singer-comedienne Kristine Zbornik (screened earlier this year at the Laurie Beechman Theatre). As a writer, he has had readings of his plays, Failed Suicide Attempts (with Faith Prince) and f-ing Wagner (with Michael Cerveris and Leslie Kritzer), and Plays With Landline Phones, the first of which was recently presented by The Blank Theatre in Hollywood as part of their Living Room Series. He directed Hedwig and the Angry Inch for BC/EFA at New World Stages and worked as assistant on Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches at Joe's Pub, the national tour of Brooklyn the Musical, and various other projects around New York. He is twenty-three years old, has no formal training, and does not have aaronmark.com because it belongs to a hustler in Vegas with the same name, so his website is aaronmark.net.
