EXTENDED FOR MONTHLY RUN KICKS OFF FEB 25th!

The 2009 run of "Julie from Staten Island" kicks off Wednesday, February 25th at the Studio Theatre at Theatre Row. Directed by standup veteran Linda Smith, the show will play one night per month in the Times Square space. "Julie from Staten Island" is an 80-minute one-man comedy that follows performer Julio Vincent Gambuto from the fifth and oft-forgotten borough of Staten Island to the ivy-covered gates of Harvard Yard to the streets of South Brooklyn.

"Julie from Staten Island" is produced by Gambuto and is his first full-production solo comedy event. The 2009 run is an extension of his successful 2008 presentation of the show which has played monthly at Theatre Row since April 2008, to sold-out audiences. The show also ran in Los Angeles in October 2008, December 2008, and January 2009 at ACME Comedy Theatre.
