The Lennon Report hits the festival circuit with screenings leading off The Beverly Hills Film Festival, and also at The Boston Film and Newport Film Festivals.
I'll be portraying Frank Gifford, broadcasting Monday Night Football in the booth with Howard Cosell and the rest of the crew on the night that John Lennon was assassinated. Got my work cut out for me. Looking forward to it.
What a great experience this has been. I absolutely loved everything about this production - the cast, creative team, producers, the theatre, itself, the audiences ... and I can't think of anything else. Big thanks to Stephen Kaliski, Harriet Lynde, Roger Mannix, Lori Kee, Maggie Lowe, Jeremiah Maestas, Eric Vigdorov, Peri Grabin Leong, Jessica Greenberg, Marissa Kaugars, the two Meaghans and everyone else involved for making this as enjoyable an experience as it could possibly have been.
COMIDA DE PUTA (F%&king Lousy Food) - running April 8th-26th
I'm in a video portion of this multimedia multicultural production. I play a Greek-American representative of a chain of organic health food grocery stores moving into the Bronx, displacing the local bodegas. In the role I'm interviewed twice by Emmy Award winning journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell.
Aimee Todoroff on nytheatre.com: "Playing multiple characters ranging from the foppish alcoholic Clive to the mad scientist Godfrey, Dennis Z. Gagomiros is the chameleon of this cast, breathing a light-hearted breath of fresh air into all of his scenes with his irreverent portrayals."
Oscar E Moore: Lola-Lola – Monkey business at NY Int’l Fringe Festival: "Later on when she is given a Bionic Voice Box by mad Doctor/Scientist Godfrey (Dennis Z. Gagomiros - who plays three other characters - all exceptionally well)..."
Alan J. Miller: Lola-Lola: "All five of the play’s actors are wonderful in their respective roles ... Dennis Z. Gagomiros in multiple comic roles, all of which he plays to perfection..."
Began shooting Stephen Bittrich's new webseries Off Off. It's just a lot of fun to work with an entire group of people you've known, respected and worked with for many years. I'm playing Derrick, the wardrobe and props guy.
:-) I'm in a reading of the End of Days Plays at Brooklyn Winery. I love these quickie one-offs. Erin Mallon has created this once a month drink/write/read/perform/drink weekends. And they're usually really a lot of fun.
The Friday evening before the performance, 6 playwrights and 12 actors will gather together. The playwrights pick two actors' names randomly from a hat, as well as one bad-ass Bible verse. Then on Saturday, the playwrights will write a short play for their two randomly selected actors, inspired by the verse they picked.
On Sunday, the actors will perform these brand new plays for you at Brooklyn Winery.
Shot a print job for Punch Cigars. Got to work with a really great photographer, Sandro Miller (http://www.fbphotomagic.com/index.php). Donna Grossman (a sweetheart - http://www.donnagrossmancasting.com/) did the casting and David Brassiri & John Olsen were the Producers from Agent16 (http://www.agent16.com/).
If you get a chance, check out Sandro's photos from Cuba.

I was cast by the Fundamental Theater Project in a reading of The Elephant by Kate Howard as part of their Mass Rhetorics Festival at the Irish Arts Center in Manhattan. The reading will take place April Fool's Day. Seriously. (Click More to be taken to the Mass Rhetoric information page on Fundamental's website)
The 2010 NYC Fringe Festival - The Fourth Estate - Johnnie Walker Black
Having a great time and getting good reviews for my work as a struggling and corrupt corporate exec type in Johnnie Walker Black, who's trying to get his ex-brother-in-law, the editor of a large influential newspaper, to "write a few friendly pieces" about what the company's doing to clean up the environmental disaster they recently caused on the Missouri River.
From nytheatre.com: "The cast is often top-notch, particularly Dennis Gagomiros and David Sedgwick, who give exceptionally grounded, gritty performances."
Here's some footage from a Brooklyn College student film I shot last December, 2009. It was a most enjoyable process, and I believe it came out surprisingly well.
