Co-Directed by Jared O'Roark
Jared O'Roark moved to Tampa Bay as an actor for the Eckerd Theater Company out of Ruth Eckerd Hall. Since then he has found his love for the theater really exists behind the stage lights. He has created and written and directed shows for the Marcia P. Hoffman Institute. Currently for the Institute he is directing Urinetown: The Musical. He has also written and performed several one man shows centering around poetry and monologues. He is very please to have been asked to work with his former roommate Aleshea. One of his favorite styles of theater are the ones where people say a lot with very little to work with, and he feels Aleshea has accomplished a beautiful work of art.
The Musicians
Martin Dalmasi –Hand Percussion/Flute Martin Dalmasi is a graduate of the New England Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1997, he was hired as a teacher at that same university and, at the same time, played and traveled with various orchestras in and around New England. While studying jazz, he was particularly influenced by masters such as Charlie Parker, Lee Morgan and Sonny Stitt. It is worth mentioning that he is also a great admirer of Stan Getz. Martin is a progressive musician, but at the same time, is very traditional and considers the base of good jazz lies in the knowledge of the musical history of the genre, as in merengue or folklore. Through the flute, saxophone, and piano, Martin communicates the sentiments and ideas of a dedicated Dominican musician who is making a contribution to this music.
