“It's electric and moving!”

Jonathan Ames, Author, Creator HBO’s “Bored to Death”

One Night Only - Pay What You Can Admission

At the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute

7936 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA

 

RSVP HERE - LIMITED SEATING

 

In this much-anticipated-one-person show, Galinsky recounts his journey

from childhood in the suburbs of Connecticut, through his interactions

with hipsters in the Lower East Side of New York City, to his work with

youth incarcerated on Rikers Island Jail. Expertly embodying multiple characters through storytelling and rock-star level poetry, BANG! explores the harmony and turmoil of living in Manhattan from his arrival in the late 1980’s to his exile and banishment from the notorious Rikers Island Jail in 2022. 

“Magnificent! A must see, Galinsky Killed it!” Barry “Shabaka” Henley

Star of ABC TV’s “Bob Hearts Abishola” - Drama Desk, Obie, and Olivier Award Winning Actor

 

"A comedic explosion!" Broadway World

 

“Everyone should go see it if they want a taste of New York, BANG!”

Nicolas Coster, Emmy Award Winning Actor, “Star Trek,” "M*A*S*H," “Wonder Woman"

 

“Galinsky’s ‘BANG!’ is touching, sweet, grungy, and saturated with humor. The word play

has a musicality to it that is likened to the beat poets of the 50s and at times, dips into the coolness and complexity of a Charlie Parker bebop jazz piece.”

Mark Schoenfeld, Creator of Broadway's “Brooklyn the Musical”
