Richmond playwright and performer, Slash Coleman, will present the New York premiere of his comedy, "The Neon Man and Me," off-Broadway at Teatro la Tea Theater in New York City on April 10th and April 22nd at 8:00pm. The one-man-show is a tribute to the life of his late best friend Mark Jamison, a neon artist from Roanoke, VA who was electrocuted two years ago as he was hanging a neon sign. A portion of all ticket sales will benefit the Jamison family. A 2006 recipient of Style Weekly's, Top 40 under 40, award and a Groucho award winner for best one man show of 2005, the production is scheduled to appear on PBS later this year. So far, Coleman has used the production to raise $20,000 for non-profit organizations. In recent months, funded in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the show has grown to include a documentary film entitled, "Glow," and a high school curriculum entitled, "Healing Communities: Helping Students come to Terms with Bereavement, Tragedy and Loss." "I'd like to think that my show is a care package to my friend's son and family," Coleman says, "but it has helped me and countless others in our search for peace after love one's have died." The off-Broadway debut will take place on Tuesday, April 10 and Sunday, April 22 at 8:00 pm. Teatro La Tea Theater is located at 107 Suffolk Street Suite 200 New York, NY 10002. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased by calling 212-529-1948 or logging onto www.smarttix.com.
