Buyer & Cellar PRESS RELEASE: Buyer & Cellar Press Contact: Sasha Venola [email protected] or 818-955-8004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Falcon Theatre presents the Off-Broadway Hit & Critically Acclaimed Comedy Buyer & Cellar Written By Jonathan Tolins Directed by Dimitri Toscas Starring Jai Rodriguez BURBANK, CA (August 10, 2016) – The Falcon Theatre is proud to present the second production of its 2016- 2017 Season, Buyer & Cellar, written by Jonathan Tolins, directed by Dimitri Toscas, and starring Broadway and TV personality Jai Rodriguez. Performances run Oct. 5 – Nov. 6 at the Falcon Theatre. Tickets on sale starting Sep. 7 at www.falcontheatre.com or 818-955-8101. Inspired by Barbra Streisand’s book My Passion for Design, this Off-Broadway hit is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs. Alex More, a struggling actor in LA, takes a job working in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu basement, as a solo shopkeeper of sorts for her mall-like collection of memorabilia. One day, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play, and an unlikely friendship develops. This one-man-play takes the audience on a rollercoaster of emotions as Alex navigates a world that is part truth and part fiction. What is true? There is a galleria in the basement of Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home. Tolins takes this truth and creates a hilarious world where one man services the whole mall for a single customer, Babs herself. "Spectacular. Beyond Brilliant. This show will go down like butta'!" –Entertainment Weekly "Buyer & Cellar Is Inventive, Witty, and Pretty Wonderful" –Backstage “It’s a seriously funny...slice of absurdist whimsy.” –New York Times Previews begin Oct. 5 with Press Opening Night Oct. 14, and runs through Nov. 6 at the Falcon Theatre located at 4252 Riverside, Burbank, CA 91505.

He lives in Fairfield, Connecticut with his husband, the writer and director Robert Cary, and their children, Selina and Henry.

Most recognized for his role in Bravo’s culturally groundbreaking series Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, Jai created a niche role on the Emmy Award-winning series as the ‘Culture Vulture,’ a youthfully savvy addition to the show’s already dynamic cast.

This past Christmas Jai stared opposite Kelly Clarkson in her NBC Christmas Special, Kelly Clarkson’s Cautionary Christmas Tale. Currently Jai can be seen opposite Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston in Netflix hit series Grace and Frankie, as ‘Sax’ on the Bold And The Beautiful, as well as the official host of Lifetime’s Dance Moms reunion and Girl Talk specials.

It seemed more like two months. At times, even two weeks. Why? Because even though I have worked in TV for more than three decades, I have never seen our industry undergo such extraordinary — and extraordinarily exciting — changes as it has in recent years. Everywhere you turn, the vanguard is disrupting the old guard with an astonishing new technology, an amazing new show, an inspired new way to structure a business deal. This is not to imply that the more established segments of our industry have been pushed aside. On the contrary, the broadcast and cable networks continue to produce terrific work that is heralded by critics and rewarded each year at the Emmys. And broadcast networks still command the largest viewing audience across all of their platforms. With our medium thriving as never before, this is a great time to work in television, and a great time to be part of the Television Academy. Consider the 65th Emmy Awards. The CBS telecast, hosted by the always-entertaining Neil Patrick Harris, drew our largest audience since 2005.

The seeds of this progress were first sown in 2012, shortly after our new team of officers began their term, and continued throughout the following year. At that time, the so-called “new golden age of television” was well under way. More — and better — programming than ever was being produced and distributed on more platforms than ever, and the notion that television had become the premier medium for innovative, risk-taking storytelling was no longer wishful thinking. Instead, it was widely accepted as fact. These developments marked a transitional moment not only for our industry, but for our organization. And as television rose in stature and influence, the Academy, to be frank, had to up its game. In my discussions at that time with our Executive Committee and Board of Governors, we resolved that, in order to remain at the forefront of innovation and thought leadership, we needed to reaffirm our position at the vanguard as the one organization that represents all aspects of the creative process of developing, producing and distributing television content.

Check out the first issue or go to schoolcraftconnection.com for the complete story. While journeying deep into space for new and exciting discoveries, it’s sometimes hard to understand what role this plays our day-to-day lives. Rest assured, journeying into the great unknown does hold many benefits for us back home. For planet Earth While journeying deep into space might be fascinating, what does it offer for us back on our little blue ball? Some are the effort put into journeying to other planets when our own planet is in need of help. Christopher J. Wood, an instructor of phys- ics and astronomy here at Schoolcraft, says that his sister, a special education teacher, thinks the $2.5 million spent on the Curiosity Mars rover could have been used for more humani tarian causes. Wood counters that idea by suggesting that if students are motivated to strive for excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), that will spill over into growth and strength in America’s economy. Wood - noted, “When the Soviet Union launched [Sputnik] into space […] a huge emphasis was placed on science and math education.” He says that with the success of Curiosity, and other space vehicles like Dragon, science is becoming “cool” again in the public eye.
