Bob played the part of Neil in Picking Palin, for Magenta Giraffe Theatre Co. Oct 12 - Nov 3, 2012.

"An Evening of Gratuitous Sex & Violence" was presented by Flint City Theatre (2012).  The event was a success.  You shoulda' been there.  Two short plays and one short film written by Bob & Dan Gerics and Megan Donahue and directed by Bob Gerics.  Consummation (play) - A distraught man considers suicide and/or murder as he confronts his unfaithful wife and her lover.  Bad Girl (film) - During a night of sexual experimentation, Marie and Josie confront serious issues in their relationship.  Colleagues (play) - Criminal businessmen struggle with loyalty and betrayal while dealing with a bad ass hit woman, right-hand man of the boss.  It was a grand time. 

The (2012) screening of "Misdirected" at Buckham Gallery went very well.  We had a good turn out and an active talk back sesssion with Bob, his co-producer William Howard and actors Dan Gerics and Jesse Glenn.

(The Staged Reading of "Touch of the God-Kissed" by Megan Donahue, at Buckham Gallery on Friday Nov 18 went well.  You shoulda' been there. :) )
