This very special performance of Sean's one man show If It Bleeds It Leads is a dress rehearsal for his New York City premiere at Theatre Row on October 10 as part of the United Solo Festival.
Shae D’lyn, accomplished television, film and stage actor (Dharma and Greg, Boardwalk Empire, Vegas Vacation, Arthur Miller’s The American Clock) is taking her lifetime of experience and success into the director’s chair for this production.
The show is two 45 minute sets with an intermission.
Additionally Shae and Sean are both excited to be joined by local artist and superb poet Ifetayo Cobbins, who will open the night reciting her original poems.
Shae and Sean both live in Hudson and are thrilled to bring the show to The Spotty Dog.

IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS
Generations of my family have been journalists. That’s how I got a job shooting television news overnight in New York City as a one-man camera crew despite the fact that I was a twenty-one-year-old, two-time college dropout living in Westchester with my parents.
Set against the ultra violent, unstable times of New York City in 1993, If It Bleeds It Leads is the true story of my time coming of age chasing murder, mayhem, and love behind the wheel of an auctioned-off cop car on the streets of the biggest media market in the world.
Ride along, stand on the corners…meet the people, the cops, the firefighters, the perps, the victims and the denizens of the night that shaped my very personal journey into the American caste systems of money, race and privilege.
New York filmmaker Joshua Zeman (Cropsey, Sons of Sam) describes If It Bleeds It Leads as “a memoir of a time in New York City best described as the Wild West.”
