THE MISADVENTURES OF ROBBIE MAITNER this May at The Duplex

Hello kids!

So it's me...Shilly Shillenstein, pimpin' out my new project. I've written a little piece of theatre that I'm premiering at The Duplex. It's about my love of the Mouse and my slightly psychotic obsession with a certain Mousketeer (NO NOT JUSTIN!). I'm running Saturdays, May 6, 13 and 20 at 7pm at The Duplex (61 Christopher Street). Reservations can be made by calling 212-255-5438 and credit cards are accepted.

The other information is below. Hope to see you all there!

***For Immediate Release:

Award Winner ROB MAITNER explores his love of the Mouse in

THE MISADVENTURES OF ROBBIE MAITNER:
A Tale of Mouseketeer Love

May 6, 13 and 20 at 7pm at The Duplex.

“Mr. Maitner is especially good” – The New York Times

Performances are Saturdays, May 6, 13 and 20 at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $15 and there is a two-drink minimum. Credit cards are accepted. Reservations are strongly suggested and can be made by calling The Duplex at 212-255-5438. The Duplex is located at 61 Christopher Street at 7th Avenue.

Bistro and Fringe Award winner Rob Maitner deconstructs himself and The Mouse in THE MISADVENTURES OF ROBBIE MAITNER. In process, he exposes the Mouse’s quiet role in what’s come to be known as the “Gay Agenda”. From his first taste of The Happiest Place on Earth to his obsession Mouseketeer Tommy Kirk, Mr. Maitner comically explores the idea that we can ‘know’ another person…even if we’ve never met them. Ray Fellman (Mostly Sondheim Friday Nights) will provide the arrangements and musical direction and Adam Fitzgerald (kef productions) will serve as director for the piece.

Rob Maitner is a staple of the downtown theatre scene. He received a Talkin’ Broadway 2005 Summer Theatre Festival Citation as Outstanding Actor in last year’s Fringe production as The Chaplain in Fleet Week and a FringeNYC eXcellence Acting Award for his work as Shannon in Poor Super Man. Mr. Maitner is a recipient of two OOBR Awards for his work in A Clockwork Orange and the FringeNYC world premiere production of Urinetown. Other New York credits include John the Baptist in Corpus Christi, Mrs. Seizmagraff in Betty’s Summer Vacation, Einstein in Picasso at the Lapin Agile, First Lady Laura Bush in Tony Kushner’s Only We Who Guard The Secret Shall Be Unhappy and Mrs. Clause in ‘Tis the !@#$-ing Season.

Darn, darn, darn.....My love of trips to Disneyworld is just barely eclipsed by my love of trips to NYC. And I am coming in May but don't get there until the 22nd and stay until the 29th. Any chance of extending for one more weekend. Of course, I'm seeing The Caine Mutiny at 8:00 so I probably couldn't see the show anyway. Darn, darn, darn!!!

Better hurry! Tickets are selling fast due to the fabulous marketing campaign Sueleen has launched.

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 4/17/06 at 5:00pm

Oh, Somms, it has nothing to do with my ad campaign and everything to do with the fact that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE TO DO THOSE NIGHTS.

If it's even half as good as his first cabaret, Basketcase, this will be a "must see" event!

I'm dialing for reservations even as I type.

Sueleen, is your new avatar the poster for Rob Maitner's show? It seems slightly reminiscent of something I've seen around here.

Will the winner of BWW Idol be a special guest? (provided that competition is OVER by then...)

I'm confused by the title. Doesn't Robbie have misadventures in other months and other places?

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 2:32pm

I wish I could be there! Nedra and I will be wishing you well!

Slam it, girl!

Hey, Robbie, the Duplex folk have not called me back to confirm my reservation (for next week). Tell them to get with it!

Rock out, Robbie! I'd tell everyone to go see your show but you pretty much suck.


And 'm really only saying that so I'll be sure to have a seat.
