July 6, 2012

It's official! Brian's play, "Once Upon a Rom Com: The Bill Pullman Story," is opening on September 5, 2012 at Gorilla Tango Theatre in Chicago! The play, which will run on Wednesday nights at 7:30pm through October 31, was commissioned by Gorilla Tango Theatre as a part of their parody play series and will be directed by Neal Fischer.

Synopsis:
After making a career out of playing the "other guy" in numerous nineties romantic comedies, American actor extraordinaire Bill Pullman has sunk into a deep depression, believing he will never find true love. It will take the help of a fairy godfather in the form of the one and only Jeff Goldblum to pull him back together and save the girl of his dreams from a devious and wicked French lover. This is a real man's fairy tale for the hopeless romantic in all of us!
