David Dean Bottrell To Kick Off PANGEA Residency

David Dean Bottrell PANGEA RESIDENCY WILL FEATURE TWO BRAND NEW STORYTELLING SHOWS

Veteran Actor and Storyteller Will Present Back-To-Back Productions

 “Dear Mr. Bottrell, I Cannot Possibly Accept This” 

and David Dean Bottrell: The Death of Me Yet

Premiering September 18, running through December 18, 2023

David Dean Bottrell, stage and television veteran and storytelling proficient, will return to the cabaret stage this fall when he presents two brand-new shows at the downtown venue known for its penchant for alt cabaret, Pangea (located at178 2nd Ave at 11th St.). Mr. Bottrell's residency lines up with a mission statement that has brought other storytelling, comedy, and theatrical productions to the Pangea stage, one that welcomes all acts, musical or non.

After achieving much success and an award or two with his Los Angeles and Manhattan productions of David Dean Bottrell Makes Love, “Dear Mr. Bottrell, I Cannot Possibly Accept This” will explore Bottrell's experience with the bad decisions of life, a topic audiences are sure to find relatable. Stories will abound on topics like bad neighbors, voice lesson debacles, and a deep dive into weight loss, all informed by Bottrell's crackerjack storytelling style and unmistakable brand of humor. 

After a month of performances with his first outing, DDB will premiere the second show in his residency, David Dean Bottrell: The Death of Me Yet. Applying his unique blend of humor and warmth, David will examine the topic of mortality with anecodotes about potluck funerals, voluble EMS workers, and unconventional interment options, allowing him to  share with audiences his own experiences with "The Big D" in a life-affirming storytelling presentation.

"God knows, the last three years have been a little rough on all of us, and doing these shows gives me a chance to open up about everything that's been bugging me, scaring me and making me so grateful for my life!  I'm truly excited that Pangea offered me this 12-week residency.  I can't wait to share some secrets (and some big laughs) with the audiences in that beautiful, intimate showroom!"  -- David Dean Bottrell
