THREE SCENES IN THE LIFE OF A TROTSKYIST @ THE TANK

Hey how did so many mid-20th-century progressive revolutionaries end up late-20th-century reactionary neocons? Art that engages with my personal politics—and a family connection, too.

Written by Andy Boyd, directed by Jake Beckhard; running Feb 22-Mar 17 at The Tank. See you there, comrade.

yu-gi-oh! sevens

Another childhood dream come to life; I voice Rino Nanahoshi, assistant-TO-the-student-council-president, in YU-GI-OH! SEVENS—and I recorded it all from my own home studio! You can hear me on Hulu, or play as me (!) in “Dawn of the Battle Royale!!” for Nintendo Switch.

our man in santiago @ THE AMT THEATER

Another lovely stint Off-Broadway, understudying this delightful spy-thiller-farce play by Mark Wilding (EP, Grey’s Anatomy). Ask me about going on for the last three shows!

the magnificent seven @ Theatre row

An absolute joy to return Off-Bway with collaborators Julia Meinwald and Gordon Leary on this beautiful show about the ‘96 Olympics Women’s Gymnastics team (I played commentator John Tesh, of course). Check out the cast recording!

Superhuman public radio @ your ears

What if NPR, but in a world peopled with supers? Simple concept, amazing execution, and I’m stoked to be playing parts like “Gold Croc” and “Peter Seagull” (yes, that’s a bad pun) in the bookending episodes of SPR Season 1.

still home for the holidays @ zoom

We couldn’t let the season pass. As is tradition, On The Quays came together (remotely, also by this point a 2020 tradition) to wear some comfy sweaters and sing about happier and warmer times. Full concert’s here on YouTube; don’t worry, there IS a moment where everyone dances with their pets.

judah maccabee: girl tales podcast @ your ears

Passover may be my favorite holiday, but there’s nothing like a good candle-lighting. Delighted that my friend and old co-star Megan Bagala brought me on to voice All The Male Parts in her Hanukkah musical (!) commissioned by the excellent Girl Tales, a podcast that reimagines fairy tales with a deliberate and dope-as-heck feminist bent.

Particularly proud that my work here - 3 voices, and singing as each of them - was part of what became a Featured Episode on Apple Podcasts, the week of its debut! Mazel.

BREAK OUT: 2020 PEN AMERICA PRISON WRITING AWARDS

Humbled by the opportunity to read the winning essay for Pen America’s 2020 Prison Writing Awards Celebration, curated by Theaterlab. In a year when people in prisons where especially - and dangerously - isolated by the COVID-19 pandemic, being able to celebrate the talents of currently incarcerated writers was a true gift. Watch the full ceremony here.

KAPOW-I GOGO: SOCIALLY DISTANCED EDITION @ YOUTUBE

2020 was meant to be the year that The Kapow-i GoGo Saga made its triumphant return to the NYC stage, so we had to make do with using Streamlabs instead - and honestly, making what ended up being a couple episodes of TV really fits this show’s bill. Episode 1 went live in May, and Episode 2 followed soon after.

I truly cannot stress how silly, joyful, and perfect-to-me this show is. Tuxedo Gary will return!!

The electric pride party: Virtual edition @ zoom

Alongside June’s necessary protests and national reckonings, I’m grateful to have been able to come together with my On The Quays family, on everyone’s new favorite conferencing software, to do a bit of joy-as-resistance. And of course our finale was our Seasons of Love/I’ll Cover You medley.

SONDHEIM@WILLIAMS@90 @ Williams college, MA

Beyond honored to be invited back to my alma mater to be part of a week-long celebration of fellow Eph and maybe-you’ve-heard-of-him composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim, class of ‘50, in honor of his 90th birthday and 70th anniversary of graduation from Williams.

The full concert, featuring an embarrassment of riches from alumni like Sebastian Arcelus ‘99, David Turner ‘97, and Michelle Rodriguez ‘12, with music direction by Eric Kang ‘09 (who MD’d me in COMPANY back in the day!), is here on YouTube. Don’t miss Madam Zapple’s absolutely stupendous “The Ladies Who Lunch.”

only human @ theatre at st. clement’s

If you’d have told me I’d make my Off-Broadway debut starring in a new musical opposite the one and only Gary Busey, I wouldn’t have known what to say. But here we are, singing about Heaven and Hell and all that “humanity” stuff in between! What a wild ride.

NJ Agwuna directs, and Mike Squillante - who composed the show, and fronts Running Lights - is the Lou(cifer) to my Jay(sus).

pokémon the series: sun and moon - ultra legends

It’s your boy, Guzma! And it’s also a dream come true. I’ve joined the English-language voice cast of the Pokémon anime, and I’m overjoyed. Guzma is the leader of Team Skull, the main villains of the season, and he’s big, bad, and here to make sure that the Alolan Pokémon League doesn’t get off the ground.

Pokémon broadcasts on Disney XD, and you can catch episodes online through Disney XD’s streaming site, Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon.

rent @ the secret theatre

So grateful to have been able to perform in one of my favorite shows, again - this time as Mark Cohen. Reuniting with friend and collaborator Lauren Elder after many years, this time as our director, was a real treat, and the Secret Theatre’s space made “the lot next door” come alive in ways I never thought possible.

new world sonata podcast @ your EARS

"Nearly a thousand years of peace have graced life in the singularity. In the days which are lit by the Empyrean Sun, a group of childhood friends journey through the strata; layers of human civilization dividing the endowed and the despondent. Carrying their own secrets, quandaries, and uncertainties as they venture through the foreign and the familiar, they begin to unravel the difficult history of their society and must confront the mysteries of their precarious future - a world on the precipice."

I mean, if that doesn't light your sci-fi nerd fire, I don't know what will. (You should see the Google Drive, guys. It's like a full friggin D&D campaign setting.) Listen on iTunes!

#howaboutlove: world pride @ the green room 42

This year, On The Quays was an official partner of World Pride NYC, and our concert was the biggest and best yet. Pattaya Heart hosted two back-to-back sold-out shows at The Green Room 42; check out the full concert on YouTube (my favorite? our Spicy Bois medley).

mar 2019

VINDICATION - the Trials of John Cooke @ dramatists guild

Directed by the legendary Robert Kalfin, a reading of a new play by Robert Karmon about the execution of Charles I and the men and women at the center of that storm. A tragicomic winding through the shifting philosophies, faiths, and opportunism at the heart of a seminal moment in English history.

within the gates @ the irish repertory theatre

Irish Rep is doing a full season of Sean O’Casey plays, and alongside their trio of mainstage productions, the Rep is producing his other plays as stripped down readings. Nicola Murphy (an authentic Irish lass! and dear friend) directs.

infallibility @ the sheen center

Matt Barbot wrote a play about the tyranny of powerful men and the people they (ab)use. It’s also about Medieval popes, political intrigue, and putting a cadaver on trial (…and if this premise sounds familiar, CTRL+F “Cadaver Synod”). A reading at the Sheen Center, kicking off Matt’s 2019 residency there.

nov - dec 2018

kevin!!!!! @ the pit

For the 3rd year running! We always have a blast doing KEVIN!!!!!, The PIT loves having us, and the NYTimes had a great time - it’s a Recent Cutbacks fixture, at this point. Puppets, a cappella, more tongue-in-cheek-but-still-wholesome-af Christmas cheer than you can shake a BB-gun at.

#howaboutlove: holiday edition @ the green room 42

Another delightful concert with On The Quays, full of good cheer and not-so-ugly sweaters. The full concert’s on YouTube - for Peak Evan Content, check out Mr. Heatmiser (duet-ing with my brother Zach Infante), or check out this beautiful arrangement of Parting Glass/Save Tonight (we love a mash-up).

peter @ judson memorial church

A reading of a new play by Kev Berry, directed by Alex Tobey. A man struggles to overcome the passings of his father and his boyfriend by overworking, dating, and…building a to-scale miniature replica of the world in his basement. My Judson Church premiere, as part of the Magic Time series!

jerry finnegan's sister @ lake theatre

A summer in Lake George, NY with Lake Theatre, please and thank you! Brian loves Beth, and Beth probably loves him back. But Brian can't find the courage to speak up, the poor guy.

It's a two-hander (shout out to my co-star Megan Bagala), it's a comedy, it's charming and breezy and fun. What's not to love?

#howaboutlove:pride cabaret @ the green room 42

I love my On The Quays family, and singing with them for Pride 2018 - and to raise money for Immigration Equality - made my heart swell. Check the videos page for my song (warning: On-The-Nose Contentᵀᴹ ahead), or head to YouTube for the full concert.

THE ABSENTEE @ PORTLAND STAGE COMPANY

A week in Portland, ME does a city boy right, and workshopping a fantastic new play at Portland Stage Company does him right-er. Julia Doolittle (of EST/Youngblood) uses THE ABSENTEE to talk about grief, loneliness, and why we vote...against the backdrop of near-future space exploration. I'm the overeager campaign volunteer who calls you a million times, natch. Little Festival of the Unexpected, indeed!

assassins @ founders hall

It's been 5 years since I did THE COMEDY OF ERRORS with Theater2020, and I'm so glad to be back with them (this time at Founders' Hall at St. Francis College) doing a show from another master of the form, Stephen Sondheim himself. I'm playing everyone's favorite Pole, Leon "the McKinley one" Czolgosz, and, uh, let's just say it feels good to be removing tyrants from office, shall we?

kevin!!!!! @ THe pit

If this ends up being an annual tradition, you won't hear me complaining. Recent Cutbacks is back at The PIT with our Christmas Alone-at-Home favorite, KEVIN!!!!! Come for the nostalgia, stay for the wildly imaginative production design and movie-soundtrack a cappella delights! 

And remember, the NYTimes liked us last year: "One breathless hour ... Providing bite-size musical chestnuts of the season is a talented choir ... The affection here for 'Home Alone' is palpable."

OCT - NOV 2017

rent @ national theatre of aruba

Dream show, y'all. And international travel! With the good people at On The Quays, and co-produced by Muse Theatre and Events, I'm headed down to Aruba to perform this oh-so-American musical at the Cas di Cultura, the island country's National Theatre. 

Will I lose my dignity? Maybe. (That's my solo, at least.) Only the instagrams from the beach will tell.

the apple tree @ theatre row

I'm back with Musicals Tonight! after only a few brief months away, and delighted. THE APPLE TREE is a real gem of a show from Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, and our director Ray Roderick has a great vision for the show that streamlines the whole thing (one act!) while better-integrating the ensemble. 

In Eden, I'm playing the growler - aka a golden retriever puppy. Type-casting much?

NEW WRITERS AT 54! SONGS BY JULIA MEINWALD & GORDON LEARY @ 54 Below

I met Julia and Gordon way back when I was a Bat at the Flea, and I'm so damn lucky to still be singing their music. I'm singing selections from REB+VoDKa+ME, a musical about the Columbiners fandom, which is as wild and chilling and car-crash-can't-look-away as you might expect. And always nice to return to 54 Below!

the cadaver synod: a pope musical @ NYMF

Ok so true story: this one time at the end of the 9th century, this one pope decided it would be a good idea to exhume his predecessor and try the guy, posthumously, for heresy. The Holy Roman Empire, amirite?

Come for the premise, stay for the guyliner and the pop/punk/American-Idiot-fucks-Book-of-Mormon score. NYMF is a trip, y'all.

the festival of lights; short film

The shoulda-only-lasted-1-night-but-lasts-for-8-instead miracle of Hanukkah...but for weed. (It's ok - almost all of us involved are members of the tribe.) Simple premise, fun execution.

mar - apr 2017

du barry was a lady @ theatre row

Stoked to perform at Theatre Row with the OBIE Award-winning Musicals Tonight! (exclamation point included) in their production of that delightful Cole Porter classic (?) DU BARRY WAS A LADY.

Where else are you gonna find a show about a drug trip, the pre-Revolution French monarchy, and realizing that you shouldn't pursue the gal who loves the other guy? Charming and dated in all the right golden-age ways.

feb - oct 2015

kapow-i gogo @ the pit

Anime, video games, comic books; you name a nerdy thing, it's part of the Kapow-i cosmolog-i. The full marathon lasted 4.5 hours, because playwright Matt Cox is a genius and the best way to watch a live-action Saturday-morning cartoon show is to binge it (and audiences loved every minute - not to mention the cereal and milk we provided). I've never worn sillier costumes, yelled wilder things, or had more fun on stage. #believe
