Funaro of 'The Lady Swims Today' & 'Sopranos' on Sirius 9/26

After opening last night in Off-Broadway's The Lady Swims Today, Robert Funaro has been asked by fellow "Sopranos" star Vincent Pastore to be a guest on "The Wiseguy Show" this Wednesday, September 26.  Pastore hosts "The Wiseguy Show" which is broadcast live Wednesdays 6-9PM on Sirius Satellite Radio's Channel 104 and can be heard online at www.sirius.com.  Robert Funaro is scheduled to go on the air at 6:20PM.

Robert Funaro memorably played Eugene Pontecorvo on "The Sopranos," ultimately whacking himself (by hanging) in the Emmy Award-winning sixth season opener.  He has numerous New York stage credits and will appear in the upcoming film "American Gangster" directed by Ridley Scott.

"The Lady Swims Today is set at the Carney Hook Marina Motel in the summer of 1984, where three desperate men are tempted to join the heist of a lifetime.  Eddie has a plan to steal two million dollars off a boat on the Chesapeake Bay and he needs a crew to pull it off.  When these schemers and dreamers come up against three women with plans of their own, the course to a fortune is threatened by more than bad weather," explain press notes.

The Lady Swims Today is written by H.G. Brown and directed by Stephen Sunderlin.  Also featured in the cast are Kelli K. Barnett, Vivienne Leheny, Jack Rodgerson, Rob Sheridan, Gordon Silva, and Kate Udall.

The limited engagement of The Lady Swims Today is set to run through October 21 at the TADA Theater, 15 W. 28 St. (between Broadway & Fifth Ave.)  The playing schedule is Tuesday through Saturday at 8PM and Sunday at 2 & 7PM.  Tickets are $39.50 and are available through www.TheLadySwimsToday.com or call 212-352-3101.
