Meet the East Art(ist)s:

Dan Perlman is a stand-up comedian and writer from New York City.

Dan created and wrote an animated series, That's My Bus!, which received a pilot order from FOX after winning 1st place at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. Dan has appeared on TruTV, MTV2, and as a cast member on MTV's Vidiots.

As a writer-filmmaker, he has had four projects featured in the New York Television Festival, most recently the award-winning comedy series, Flatbush Misdemeanors, in which he co-stars and co-writes/directs.

The list of accomplishments goes on but we have to stop here. No character limit, our fingers are just tired of typing. See Dan perform this Sunday at East Arts 2018.

Meet the East Art(ist)s:

Alex Getlin is a '16 Theatre grad already making her mark in NYC (and she's a native New Yorker, to boot!). Fun fact: Alex was in an episode of Shades of Blue. If you meet Alex in person, you are automatically 1 degree of separation from JLo. Think about THAT.

Wildcat Nicole Kwan (Medill '07) is making her producing debut at the New York Musical Festival (NYMF) with Interstate, a new musical.

Interstate is an inspiring tale of an Asian-American q***r band on their first national tour and the ways in which it touches the life of a young transgender teen living in rural Kentucky.

Interstate addresses racism, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, toxic masculinity, and xenophobia head-on by telling the story of q***r Asians who face oppression at the intersection of their identities.

Join the fundraising party on May 23 at 384 Broadway (6:30p) to hear songs from the show, meet show creators Kit Yan & Melissa Li, and to learn more about the project.
