Produced / Performed during San Francisco’s Leg of the Fringe Festival, a 6-day 12-performance run to sold-out onlookers within the FF’s “Build Your Own Venue” category. The series was created in San Francisco’s Mission District, 1320 Potrero Ave, the XenoDrome.
Tom Byrne, Executive Producer, Writer, Director, Actor
Tom Byrne graduated from the University of Michigan in 1989, moved to New York City, studied Meisner Method at the Phil Gushee Studio, swung back to Ann Arbor to join forces with band The Psychedelic Lounge Cats which provided the means to finally get out to the West Coast and the beautiful people of San Francisco, CA. Since moving to the warmer side of the States, Byrne sowed his artistic oats within several multi-disciplinary fields. He collaborated as a musician in many bands, most notably the Psychedelic Lounge Cats, Mol Triffid, The Mr. Lucky Experience and modern dance ensemble Xeno, which he also served as Video Director. Tom’s pursuits within the visual arts include stints as Video Director for record label Toadophile at Mr. Toad’s Recording Studio and some nifty side-work under his moniker VJ Ho-Tep, creating projected installations for several years at the Tiki Oasis convention in San Diego, CA. and most recently working with Production Designers Scott Levkoff and Jorden Nash creating visual ambience for Las Vegas lounge The Golden Tiki. His theatrical endeavors boast a quintuple threat: fulfilling roles as Writer, Director, Producer, Actor & Composer of the Quintology My Son, the Mummy, the 4th episode of which, a feature-length film, is currently in production.
