SPIDEY PROECT's Roufaeal Blogs for Costume Help

Veteran humorist and playwright, Justin Moran, launched "Spiderman Smackdown", a guerilla theatre project to write, rehearse, and perform a fully realized musical based on the character Spiderman in under 30 days with a budget of $0. Set to open one day before the $65 Million Broadway musical "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark", Moran's musical will be the first Spiderman Musical to officially open in New York City.

Writer Jon Roufaeal recently blogged about the quickly approaching opening commenting, "Rehearsals are going great, and now it's time for us to think about all those small logistical things we weren't focused on as we were putting this show together. Things like...COSTUMES!!!"

He then asked for the help of fans of the project: "Does anyone have a sweet adult Spidey costume they'd be willing to donate to the production? Several people have volunteered to buy one & donate it, and I just have to thank all of you who have volunteered to do that. But Justin and I would like to avoid that as best we can, so I thought I'd try the blog to see if any of our new internet friends could help."

Moran has launched a blog (thespideyproject.blogspot.com) and YouTube page to promote the project and to enlist a troupe of volunteer writers, designers and actors. "How important is $65 Million in making good theatre?" jokes Moran. "We're going to develop a story, write a complete musical score and script, design sets and costumes, cast, rehearse, advertise and ultimately mount the production on March 14th, 2011 at the The People's Improv Theatre in NYC."

Moran is collaborating with writer Jon Roufaeal on the story and book, based on the origin story from "the Amazing Spiderman" comic books, and has brought on composers Adam Podd (Pope the Musical, ImgineOcean) and Doug Katsaros (Broadway's Aida; Grammy nominated Footloose; TV's The Tick) to write and arrange the score.
