RedCups.com--bringing the party to the UK

A friend of mine from the University of Edinburgh has come up with a novel business idea. After growing up watching the American Pie films, Van Wilder, and countless American teen films that feature party scenes of red-cup-wielding students, my friend has brought this joy to the UK.

Many Americans think red cups are ubiquitous, but from my experience living in the UK this last year, the parties feature small clear cups, similar to what Americans use for wine. At last, university students in the UK can party in real fashion with redcups.com--the only official distributor of SOLO™ Red Cups in the UK. Enjoy.

March 2012 update: Red Solo cups have become such a social phenomenon in the U.S. that country singer Toby Keith has a song called Red Solo Cup:

Throwback: My Off-Broadway debut!

Agnus, a crime drama I co-wrote and co-produced, ran at Theatre Row at 42nd St & 9th Ave in Manhattan in January and February, 2018. My co-writer and co-producer, Ise Lyfe, played the title role of Agnus, an odd-looking man who is accused of a heinous crime.

My pitch is that it's a crime drama like "A Few Good Men," but set in the future. Politically, the show was well-timed for the New York audience, in that Donald Trump had been in office less than a year, and he had already tried to establish a 'Muslim ban' and was detaining migrant children at the southern border for indefinite periods of time. Our show addressed these political hot-button issues such as racial profiling and unlawful detention, and we hosted a series of talkbacks and a residency in the space for nonprofits to use our theater for events on dark n...

Throwback: My NY debut in BARS Workshop Vol 2

Image
Back on September 5, 2016, I teamed up with a dozen highly-skilled actors, singers, dancers, and rappers to put on the #BARS Medley Vol. 2 at The Public Theater in New York City. This was my acting debut and New York City writing debut. The assignment was to take classic works of literature and rewrite them in modern verse, for a modern audience. The course was taught by Rafael Casal over several weeks the summer of 2016, and Daveed Diggs joined us for the final performance. I contributed writing to "Rapper in the Rye" introduced by Javier Muñoz from Hamilton, and also the finale piece titled "The Mediocre Gatsby." I acted in Lord of the Flies, Autobiography of Malcom X, and Great Gatsby. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos: Participants who made BARS Vol 2 possible include: Daveed Diggs, Rafael Casal, Pharoahe Monch, Javier Muñoz, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Anthony Ramos, Sarah Kay, Carven Lissaint, Carlos López Estrada, Jalene Goodwin...
