New musical URBAN MOMFARE is having a staged reading as part of Emerging Artists Theatre's Notes From A Page Festival. URBAN MOMFARE is an irreverent (and sometimes heartbreaking) romp through motherhood on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where the absurdities of a rarefied lifestyle throw the universality of parenting into stark focus.

Hey y'all. Greetings from sunny San Diego. And thanks to BroadwayWorld for letting me ramble for a few weeks. I'm here at The Old Globe, which by the way is a FANTASTIC place to work! For all the actors out there who've not had a chance to come here, RUN, don't walk! The folks here are very sweet and the theater is so well run and efficient. It's actor utopia. My wife, Meredith Inglesby, and I came out here last year to do Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and fell in love with the place. Meredith played Reno Who and I was the grumpy green thing. So I guess we didn't stink it up too bad 'cause they asked us back this year. The only change being Mere was a little pregnant and would probably drop the little 'Who' on opening night. So she's sittin' this one out, and I am proud to announce that little Victoria Warren Blanchard popped out on Nov. 30! Mere was so amazing!

SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL, Directed by Casey Colgan, is currently playing through July 29 at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina in Hilton Head South Carolina. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production shots below.
