Long overdue updates!

So, finally, some pics from "A Night of Boxing Off Broadway" back at the end of June. I know, I know. "A bit late, aren't ya?" Well, yes. Yes I am. . .

We had everything. Boxing, drama, celebrities. So! Here's some pics from the show. Any boxing fans out there may recognize some of these guys. Woohoo!

First up - Me! The MC for the evening!

Not exactly elegant and cool, but just wait a bit...

Next up was Sportswriter and author Ron Ross, reading from his book "Bummy Davis vs. Murder Inc."


...followed by a multimedia piece done by Chris Cassidy, Bobby Cassidy, Sr.'s younger son. Really beautiful piece.

Then came the roundtable discussion hosted by Showtime boxing commentator Steve Farhood, which included some pretty big names in boxing lore.

Steve Farhood (very cool, mellow guy, with an insane amount of boxing knowledge)


Juan Laporte (big flirt! (; )


Mark Breland (strong silent type, and how many Olympic athletes does a girl meet in her lifetime?)

Reynaldo Snipes, whose pic, unfortunately, I don't seem to have.


and Carlos Ortiz, possibly the sweetest man ever (except to those he trains, of course)

And let us not forget, for the final show of our run, the man all of this was created for in the first place - Mr. Bobby Cassidy, Sr., Kid Shamrock himself.


Then came intermission, followed by the play for the evening, "Kid Shamrock", written by Bobby Cassidy, Jr., and directed by Gary Morgan. And introduced by little ole' me. Remember the goofy pic at the top of this post? Well, I looked a bit different for the play's intro. And of course, I have no pic of JUST me, so you will have to wait until the end of the post to see it. Hey! Don't skip ahead! It's like reading the end of a book first!

Anyway... the play. Not what you would expect from a boxing play. Not so much about the boxing as about the internal struggles of the boxer himself - drinking. Written with love by Bobby Jr., I have to admire the honesty of it.

Here are the pics of the actors in the play:


Seamus McDonagh, the title character of Kid Shamrock


Shane McCaughey, playing the younger Kid Shamrock


Patrick Connolly, playing the roles of the trainer and the businessman. He was on stage for the entire play, pretty much.

Then there were David Morgan as the bartender and Ron Ross playing, you guessed it, a sportswriter!

And last but not least, the new me! along with everyone else, for our curtain call.


Heck, I just wanted an excuse to wear a dress like that. . . gotta be girly sometimes, right?
