Tony Drazan's THE NOD to Play Nuyorican Poets Cafe, 1/6 & 13

By:

Whatever life threw at Tony Drazan (writer/director of Zebrahead and the director/producer of HurlyBurly), he gave it a simple accepting nod. And nodding paid off big time. Until it didn't. It was the day Tony found a leak in the garage of his high-end Hollywood condominium, directly over his luxury car. A leak from the swimming pool above. It was a genuine hazard and a fitting obsession. Because his lifetime of nodding -- at his unstable mother, his dream career, even the woman he loved -- was about to burst. To unravel every success it had ever helped him achieve, his Hollywood wealth and career. At last, Tony had to face a problem nodding couldn't fix.

Now writer, filmmaker and performer Tony Drazan tells the story of how a simple nod brought him from success, to failure, to personal fortune. THE NOD plays now through January 13 at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
