RJ Vaillancourt joins Guild Hall’s JDTLab presents A Staged Reading of H…, A New Play by Megan Minutillo on September 13th at 7:30pm.
RJ is a New York City based actor and writer from Rockland County, New York. He graduated from Fordham College at Lincoln Center with a B.A. in theatre as an acting major. He’s acted extensively off and WAY off Broadway, and his play, Anniverseance was recently developed by UglyRhino at Littlefield for TinyRhino’s Fifth Birthday Party. RJ can be seen eating bananas and pizza on the tv and World Wide Web in SNY’s “House of Fans” campaign and more recently in Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss’s “Natural Bliss Cafe” viral ad.
H…is a story of three different teenagers – Zoe, Gemma, and Owen – all of whom struggle with heroin addiction. This is a story of how three teenagers and young adults have been effected by this monstrous drug, and how addiction not only changes the lives of the addicts but their families and loved ones as well. H… begs the questions: how does the cycle of addiction start? What role does society play in all of this? And more importantly, what’s it going to take to break the cycle of addiction? Will the cycle be broken before lives are lost?
The stage reading will also be directed by Megan Minutillo. Vaillancourt joins a cast that includes Alyssa Castellano, Rob DiSario (The Night Alive), Chloe Dirksen (The Poets of Amityville), Joe Pallister (To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men – Bay Street Theater), William Sturek (Of Mice and Men – Bay Street Theater), and Michelle Veintimilla (The Visit, FOX’s Gotham).
Guild Hall is located at 158 Main Street, in East Hampton, NY. Tickets to this staged reading of H… are FREE! Additional information is available guildhall.org.
