WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY BRANISLAV TOMICH
DIRECTED BY SYDNIE GROSBERG RONGA
Tomich’s auto-biographical work brings the audience into a very intimate space where he reveals inner musings, pain, and a decidedly humorous take on a stage of life that touches everyone in some way. Blue Lanterns’ ultimate goal is a funny and life-affirming reminder of the importance of love in our lives.
BRANISLAV TOMICH has performed throughout the U.S., including the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Carnegie Hall, La Mama, in sit-coms and independent films. He played the title role in The Nerd, Touchstone in As You Like It, Tim in Noises Off with Millicent Martin, and Ozolin in Sonya with Julie Harris at The Phoenix Theatre Co., NY. His work as a solo theater artist has been honored by a National Endowment for the Arts grant and a Los Angeles DramaLogue Award.
SYDNIE GROSBERG RONGA has directed extensively in New York, St. Louis, and regionally, staging plays such as Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Design For Living, Hayfever and several new plays.
