Breaking Glass Pictures has announced the release of the heartfelt multi-award-winning comedy-drama GIVE OR TAKE directed by Paul Riccio. The film will open theatrically on February 11 in multiple markets, including Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Cape Cod, and more.

Today's episode features Todd Almond, who is known for his singular songwriting in addition to his work as an accomplished performer. Almond traced his love for the arts back to his youth. 'For most of my childhood, instead of getting a story at bedtime, my dad would sit at the edge of my bed and play a Beatles song or a John Denver song. Music as an acceptable language was introduced to me right away. I am always grateful to my dad for that.'

Norbert Leo But is an actor who is hard to pin a label on. It’s hard to believe that Jamie Wellerstein, Alfie Doolittle, Paddy Chayefsky, Agent Carl Hanratty, Freddy Benson Edward Bloom, and Fiyero all came out of the same brain space. And yet, that very chameleon-like versatility has been the hallmark of his Broadway career. Tonight, at 54 Below, in his show NORBERT LEO BUTZ SINGS TORCH SONGS FOR A PANDEMIC, he had only one character to play, a charming, if sometimes complicated actor called Norbert. It was the music itself that displayed chameleon-like versatility tonight. It was mostly rock, but it ran the gamut from Bruce Springsteen to Neil Young, Ron Sexsmith, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, Fleetwood Mac, and Neil Diamond.
