Award winning podcast Atoms, Motion, and the Void will take the stage as a one-man show at the Players’ Ring in Portsmouth, NH on Friday, December 28th. Told from the perspective of 79 year old Sherwin Sleeves, “Atoms” is a mystical tale of exploration that takes a turn for the inverse. Hired by a clandestine organization with the task of recording secrets, Sherwin Sleeves undergoes a transformative process which offers, in its end-stage, an intimate glimpse into the great unknown. The magical mystery goes to the very root of life, death, and identity.
“Atoms” was first broadcast as a podcast, garnering regional and national accolades. Local Thornton, NH writer and performer Sean Hurley first unveiled the character before a crowd at the Hard Rock Café in NYC at the request of popular radio hosts, Ron & Fez. The character of Sherwin Sleeves has also joined the weekly National Public Radio production of 11 Central Ave. Hurley recently won Chicago Public Radio’s Shortdocs competition and his work has been featured on New Hampshire Public Radio. “Atoms” is directed by Seacoast artist John Herman.
“Atoms, Motion, and the Void” will run from December 28th to January 6th with shows on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 PM and Sunday nights at 7 PM. Tickets for general admission are $10 for members, $12 for non-members. Student
and senior tickets are $8 for members, $10 for non-members. Reservations are suggested and can be made by calling the Players’ Ring at (603) 436-8123.

This is a still from the first ever live web video broadcast of Stranger Than Fiction improv comedy. Suggestions for scenes were taken exclusively through live audience interaction in a chat room. My experiment was a big success. We used Mogulus to produce the show. We are pretty sure this is the first time the web has been used in this way by improv comedians. Everyone in the cast was excited by the positive response. The audience demanded we do it again soon!
