Dave Svengalis’ past productions include Actor’s Watering Hole, BRIDGE, Natasha Mail Order Bride, The Last Hippie: A Western Novel.

JACK ZULLO (Producer/Cast) Jack Zullo past productions include “Live From the Grave…It’s John Belushi”, “The 86 It! Improv Show”, “Twelfth Night” at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park New York, “Pieces of Home” at The Independent Theater in NYC’s West Village. Jack’s last all-consuming endeavor was “Live From the Grave…Its John Belushi”, a sketch improv multimedia show which I wrote, produced and played the title character in. I also fronted a band for that one, which was pretty freaking sweet. I perform all around town, doing stand up and improv. SAG-Aftra, AEA Find him: @JackZullo www.jackzullo.com
