Bobby Dogs News

Hey there Bobby Dogs people,

I wanted to let you all know that I am doing a brand new Off-Broadway play called THE ORPHANS HOME CYCLE at the Signature Theatre in New York City. The show officially opened on Nov. 19, and the next day we were greeted with a big old rave review from the New York Times. Tickets are nearly impossible to come by since the word hit the street about our show. But I will update you with any news of extensions or transfers. It's really nice to be in a hit show. Here is a picture of me in one scene with Tony Award nominee Hallie Foote.

And here is a link to the New York Times review, written by the great Ben Brantley:

Happy Holidays to all,

NO HOT DOGS AT THIS PARTY

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Boland) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:49:00 +0000

The reviews are in and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD up at Hartford Stage is a hit! "This is a terrific, polished and gripping production," said the Hartford Courant. "A delicate and affectionate production," says Variety.

In this photo, BOBBY DOGS co-stars Mike Boland and Dawn McGee celebrate at the opening night party for Mockingbird, which has already broken the Hartford Stage box office record.

Boland plays the villainous Bob Ewell in the production. For more information, see http://www.hartfordstage.org/.

BOBBY IS BACK IN HARTFORD

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Boland) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:50:00 +0000

Hello again, BOBBY DOGS family and friends. Your loyal hot dog huckster is back on stage, once again in Hartford. Yes, Bobby's alter ego, Mike Boland, will be performing in the Hartford Stage Company's production of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, starring Matthew Modine as Atticus Finch. Mike will be playing Bob Ewell, who is probably not so nice as Bobby Tucker. Previews begin on Feb. 19. The official opening is Feb. 27 and the show closes on April 4. So come on up and show the producers that Mike's people travel (so they will keep hiring me!). All the best in the New Year! -Mike B.

WOW MY HEAD LOOKS BIG!

Hey Bobby Dogs people!

Here's a pic from the opening night party of CENTENNIAL CASTING down at the Virginia Stage Company. The show was very funny, and your favorite hot dog man, Mike Boland (right) played the lead character "Vincent." With Mike in this picture are the playwrights, Gino DiLorio and Nancy Bleemer.

BACK TO WORK

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Boland) — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:28:00 +0000

Hey Bobby Dogs people,

I was overwhelmed by the appearance of so many of you at 12 ANGRY MEN in Hartford. Tom and Ellen Reilly, Mike Nastu, Dawn McGee, Rosina Fernhoff, Glory Gallo and Chris Mancini all made the trip. I hope I haven't left anyone out. Thank you to all of you. You really made our brief swing through my home state so memorable.

The next gig will be a little more of a hike. I recently booked the lead in a comedy called CENTENNIAL CASTING, which will be playing at the Virginia Stage Company in Norfolk, VA. Show dates are Oct. 21-Nov. 9. And if you have never been to Virginia Beach in the fall, well, this might be a road trip for you!!

Talk to you all soon and be well,

Fondly,

Mike (Bobby) Boland

HOORAY!!!

"BOBBY DOGS" actors Mike Boland and Dawn McGee celebrate winning at the PRISM AWARDS on Thursday, April 24.

OK, actually, this picture was taken in March, when Dawn made the trip up to Hartford to see her co-star Mike in the Broadway National Tour of "12 Angry Men" at the Bushnell Theatre.

But the picture looked perfect for the awards announcement, and I hated to waste it.

Go BOBBY DOGS!!!

Film Highlights Bridgeport sites, local actors

Film highlights Bridgeport sites, local actors
By Brad Durrell

The director of an independent film made mostly in Bridgeport said the city may have a bright future as a place to produce movies.
“Bridgeport was tremendously supportive,” said Tom “T.K.” Reilly of Fairfield, who directed and wrote the film. “It was a great place to shoot. No one we approached had any trouble with us shooting there.”
The uplifting film, “Bobby Dogs,” deals with a middle-aged man’s successful struggle to overcome alcoholism and open up a hot dog stand.
Reilly and four of the actors appeared at a free screening of the film at the downtown Bridgeport Public Library on Saturday, attended by about three dozen people. The actors present were Joshua Eaddy, Damien Langan, Chris Mancini and Michael Nastu.
The movie showcased Seaside Park in particular, where the main character’s hot dog stand — actually a truck — was established. The film crew spent 17 days in Seaside Park.
“Bobby Dogs” also includes scenes shot at Mountain Grove Cemetery and the Bridgeport Garden Apartments in Black Rock as well as numerous neighborhood scenes done in the Hollow, on Fairfield Avenue and on State Street.
Aerial footage was taken with the help of local pilot Morgan Kaolian, who runs an aerial photography business.
“It could not have been more local,” Reilly told the audience after the screening at the library, thanking city Parks Commissioner Gene O’Neill and longtime Board of Education administrator Allan Wallach in particular for their help with making the movie.
Reilly described Wallach as a “real indy film buff” who helped secure a house on Jewett Avenue, in the North End, for one interior scene.
Other scenes were shot in Fairfield. The Super Duper Weenie restaurant in Fairfield, near Black Rock, figures prominently as that is the name of the main character’s hot dog stand in the movie.
The original truck used in real life to start Super Duper Weenie is what the film’s main character uses to begin his business, which appears ready to fail before it wins a culinary contest.
“Bobby Dogs” has been nominated for a Prism Award, given annually to films and other forms of entertainment that accurately depict substance abuse problems.

Filmmakers like the city
Bridgeport has become a popular place to make movies in the past few years, helped by a generous state tax break program that is attracting major filmmakers to many parts of Connecticut.
Reilly, who also has wrote and directed an independent short film, “The Barbershop League,” said Bridgeport has tremendous potential because it offers such a diversity of backdrops.
“If you want to do any kind of urban scene it’s as good as it gets anywhere, plus it’s also near suburban areas,” he said. “It’s also very accessible, with New York so close.”
Many crew members for the films being made in Bridgeport come from New York City and belong to important entertainment unions.
The film doesn’t star any household names but rather an assortment of local actors, many of whom have appeared in Connecticut theater. For instance, Fairfield native Mike Boland, who plays the main character, now is appearing in a national touring company of the play, “Twelve Angry Men.”
Reilly wouldn’t reveal how much it cost to make the film, saying only it involved “a true shoestring budget.”
Only some camera and sound crew members were paid. “This is all a labor of love,” Reilly said.
The actors donated their time and effort because they hope the film helps them get noticed in the industry, according to Reilly. “Their passion is acting,” he said.

Aspiring actor had role
Joshua Eaddy, a native and longtime resident of Bridgeport who now lives in Stratford, has one of the main roles as the primary character’s close buddy and hot dog stand employee.
Eaddy said it was a joy to get up and go to work at Seaside Park every day. “At the time, I didn’t even have to drive there,” he said.
He works for the state-run Greater Bridgeport Community Mental Health Center near Bridgeport Hospital, and has appeared in some other films and local plays as well.
“I hope to make it my sole career,” Eaddy said of acting. He is a 2005 graduate of Housatonic Community College’s theater arts program.
Reilly, who works in the fuel brokerage business, grew up in Westchester, N.Y., and moved to Fairfield about 15 years ago. He is married with three children.
He said the film is fictional, with some “vignettes” of real life used to create the story line.
“Bobby Dogs” premiered last June during a week-long run at Fairfield’s Community Theater. It also has been shown at film festivals in Boston, Beaufort, S.C., and Syracuse, N.Y.
Filming began in December 2006 and took three months to complete, with some breaks. Dozens of local residents had minor acting roles in the film.
The Bridgeport Public Library has two copies of “Bobby Dogs” on DVD available for rental. Copies are sold at Super Duper Weenie.

A View From the Stage

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Boland) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:33:00 +0000

If you were wondering what the view from the stage is, here I am at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. We wrapped our five-week stay there with "12 Angry Men" and moved on through Des Moines, IA (no pictures forthcoming from there) and are now in Tempe, AZ. We open tonight at the Gammage Auditorium, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I will definitely send some pictures of that.

All my best,

Mike (Bobby)

I miss Toronto already

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Boland) — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 00:04:00 +0000

After five weeks in the beautiful and very hip city of Toronto, our "12 Angry Men" tour has landed in Des Moines, Iowa, where it is just as cold. The city is connected by skywalks, which gives you a couple of weird sensations - that you are in a giant Habitrail, or, if you walk the streets, that you are in some sort of zombie movie. Nonetheless, we had 2,400 enthusiastic patrons at our opening last night. So there is that.

In this picture, I am outside the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto on our last day there. Every pillar in front of the theatre has a picture from the show. This one has the whole cast, with your favorite hot dog-loving jury foreman in front. We will be at the Bushnell in Hartford the last week of March. If anyone wants to come and see the show, check out the website: 12angrymentour.com.

Hey from Toronto

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Boland) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 16:13:00 +0000

Hey Bobby Dogs people,

I wanted to congratulate everyone on "Bobby Dogs" being accepted to the Beaufort (SC) Film Festival and the Syracuse Film Festival. That is really great news.

I am up in Toronto right now, finishing up our five week stop at the Princess of Wales Theatre with the National (and now, I guess, the international) Tour of "12 Angry Men." We are playing to sold out houses and standing ovations everywhere we go. I look forward to seeing you all when we stop in Hartford in late March.

In this picture, the cast greets Patricia Neal, an Academy Award winner for "Hud," backstage in our recent stop in Cleveland. I slipped a copy of "Bobby Dogs" into her purse, but I don't know if she has seen it yet.

All my best,

Mike

Hello "Bobby Dogs" family,

Just wanted to say hello from San Antonio, where I recently finished the third week of the national tour of "12 Angry Men," part 2. We have 25 weeks to go, and have now moved on to Pittsburgh, with Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto coming up next. The show is great, and I even get time to slip away once and a while and do things like defend the Alamo, which I am taking quite seriously in this picture. Those three people behind me seem pretty safe. I will check them out though.

Be well,
Mike Boland

GREAT LOCAL FILM-

"I'm not a movie critic but I wanted to share a good movie I saw recently. Thanks to the Connecticut Post for making me aware of it. It's called "Bobby Dogs".

With all the talk about big cinematic productions coming to Connecticut, which is great, here is an independent film that held my attention and had local actors as well as local scenery and was directed by a local guy.

Connecticut is definitely a great place to make a movie with many great stories to tell. Bravo to everyone who worked on this film. It is a great job.

FAIRFIELD — A truly talented actor does not impersonate a character so much as inhabit that being.
Mike Boland is a talented actor. The Fairfield native, who has already won praise for his professional and community theater stage work, is getting rave reviews for his portrayal of Bobby Tucker in the independent, full-length feature film "Bobby Dogs," shot entirely in Fairfield and Bridgeport last summer.
Audiences will recognize lots of local landmarks — Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Bravo restaurant, First Presbyterian Church, the old Driftwood lounge, which since has closed and the Super Duper Weenie truck, which figures prominently in the plot. The famed hotdog stand's owner, Gary Zemola, makes a cameo appearance in the Brooklawn Productions' movie.
The world premiere screening of "Bobby Dogs" is set for 7:30 p.m. today at the Fairfield Community Theatre, 1424 Post Road, where audiences will be able to meet Boland, Glory Gallo of Stratford, and the rest of the cast, as well as Tom Reilly, the screenwriter and director, and Rob Lynch, who composed the film's score. Both men are also Fairfield residents.
The film follows the story of Bobby, a recovering alcoholic who struggles with his own personal demons and those imposed on him by society through unscrupulous creditors and others who feed his self doubts. Ultimately, Bobby triumphs but the plot is not as predictable as one might suspect.
"Hopefully it's an aspiring message that people, even withserious struggles, can overcome them. But we packaged a serious topic in an entertaining format," Reilly said. Anyone who has been through a struggle will be able to relate to the character of Bobby and to Boland, he said.
"Mike is the poster boy for someone who has turned his life around," said Reilly, who first recognized Boland's talent when the actor played a bit part in Reilly's indie short "The Barbershop League."
"I've been sober for over five years now. I celebrated five years in Los Angeles on April 1st," said Boland, who was touring with a national production of the play "Twelve Angry Men" at the time. Boland had stopped performing as he dealt with his own substance abuse. "It killed my confidence and left me [as] the guy on the bar stool just dreaming about what might have been until I finally got a handle on it," Boland said.
Boland's personal experience brings an honesty and credibility to Bobby Tucker, which resonates with audiences. Television, film and Broadway star Richard Thomas, widely known for his Emmy-winning role as John Boy on "The Waltons," called the performances of Boland and his co-star Dawn McGee "honest" and said they give the film its heart and conscience. Thomas was the star of "Twelve Angry Men" during its nine-month national tour, which concluded two weeks ago.
Reilly did not want to divulge the film's budget but did say it cost "a lot more than we wanted it to but a lot less than any other film that the general public watches."
The world premiere of "Bobby Dogs" is sold out but subsequent showings are scheduled at the Fairfield Community Theatre for Saturday, 1, 4, 7 and 9:30 p.m.; Sunday, 1, 4 and 7 p.m. and Monday through Thursday, 7:30 p.m.

Winding down

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Boland) — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 17:58:00 +0000

Hello Bobby Dogs family. Just a few weeks left in the national tour of "12 Angry Men." I am very excited to come back to CT to join you all for the "Bobby Dogs" premiere. Here are a couple of the guys I am working with right now. This is Richard Thomas (left), George Wendt (right) and me in Louisville in January, right after I got to perform for the first time as Juror 10 in the show. It has been a fun ride.

All my best,
Mike (Bobby)

Bobby Dogs Original Music

noreply@blogger.com (Go to the Ball ! Producers) — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 00:20:00 +0000

Carl Herrgesell, an extraordinary musician, co-wrote with TK Reilly and performed "Can I Change", which was inspired by the Serenity Prayer. "Can I Change", written specifically for Bobby Dogs, plays prominently in our movie and provides the movie with one of its many poignant original sounds.
Carl hails from Arizona but has traveled the world touring with many bands including Kenny Loggins. Carl has produced two albums, "Can I Change" and "A Savior is Born". His albums can be found on itunes and www.cdbaby.com. At this hour, Carl is scheduled to fly in to the premiere screening of Bobby Dogs on Friday, June 1st. Go Carl!

Behind the scenes

noreply@blogger.com (Go to the Ball ! Producers) — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 21:09:00 +0000

David Tetley (left) and Associate Producer Dan Martens confer on set. "If it goes on much longer, I'm going slip out the back." David and Kathleen Tetley graciously permitted us to shoot the barbecue scene in their backyard. Everyone agreed that Kathleen is much nicer....In addition to his Associate Producer duties, Dan played a Pastor in Bobby Dogs. For Brooklawn Production maniacs, if David looks familiar, he was a barber in "The Barbershop League." Come on David, smile.
