We are forever indebted to Mr. Schumer for his most brilliant contribution, and we proudly welcome him as an official member of the FOTDK production team!

Our "Go Fund ME" Campaign is now Active!!!

If you're like me, you're tired of our young people having THE ARTS being cut... more and more each year... from their school curriculum! Each year, Performing Arts students and their teachers have less and less resources to put on really good quality shows!

As an arts educator myself, that situation bothered me SO MUCH that I decided to do something about it!!  The ambitious stage play FATHERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT is my response to this issue! 

My production will feature a cast made up primarily of middle school, high school, and college-age drama students!!  And as a further enrichment for these budding young performance artists, I am including adult professional actors in the cast in two or three key roles!!

I'm giving these students an ambitious, excellent show to call their OWN!! I want them to have the BEST sets, the BEST costumes, the BEST props, the BEST production experience!!  I do this because they deserve the best. I do this because they deserve to have a top quality way to showcase their talent!

I do this because I love them.

But I really need your help.

If you can find it in your heart, PLEASE go to our GO FUND ME Campaign Page and donate whatever amount you can for our production. Your dollars will help me make these students shine on stage like never before. You can help me give them an experience that they will carry with them for a lifetime! What could have more artistic and human value than that?

TALENTED MICAH HENNING AUDITIONS FOR SMALL ROLE, AND WINS LARGER ONE!

Earlier this afternoon, Mr. Micah Henning auditioned for Playwright / Director Roberto Williams for a very small role in his upcoming stage production, FATHERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT.  During his audition, Micah’s humor, wit, and talent for vocal mimicry and dialect so thoroughly impressed Williams, that the director was inspired to make an unusual decision:  Instead of the smaller role that Micah was auditioning for, Williams instead awarded Micah the “meaty” role of disgraced Gotham City Lieutenant Arnold Flass… a role that the playwright has since re-written so as to more prominently feature the considerable talents of Mr. Henning!  Read all about Micah's impressive list of credits on his Bio Page! 

The cast and crew is thrilled with the addition of Micah to the production, and anxiously looks forward to begin working with him!

Jamie Soltis cast as Harley Quinn!

Responding to an open casting call for The Joker's psychotic hench-girl Harley Quinn, Pennsylvania native Jamie Soltis visited with playwright / Producer / Director Roberto Williams to discuss the character and to audition for the role.

Ms. Soltis' quirky sense of humor,  and bubbly, easygoing personality quickly won over Williams and his attending Production Manager Alaja DeSilva... herself a HUGE Harley Quinn fan!

But when Jamie demonstrated her brilliant acting chops in a tour-de-force audition monologue presentation and a script cold-read that was every bit as heart-breaking as it was captivating... (in a PERFECT Harley Quinn voice at that!)... the director knew that he had found his Harley!!

Read all about Jamie's impressive stage and film accomplishments in her Bio Page, and then visit her website at www.jamiesoltis.com !

Gabriel Diaz de SALAS cast as Comic Book ARTIST JERRY ROBINSON!

Providing the third corner of the FATHERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT Golden Age Batman Comic Book creative team triangle, 21 year old GABRIEL DIAZ de SALAS has been cast as Bob Kane's Art Assistant Jerry Robinson.

Earlier today, this supremely talented young man met with playwright / director Roberto Williams at his Brooklyn residence to audition for the role of the junior member of the original Batman creative team.  The acting skill and dramatic power he effortlessly demonstrated in a sample monologue presentation and in his cold read of Williams' script prompted the Director to immediately end his search for a candidate for the role.

Read all about Gabriel's background and his impressive acting achievements in his personal Bio Page!

The entire production team of FATHERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT is thrilled and honored to welcome Mr. Diaz de Salas to the cast, and we eagerly look forward to working with him!
