Getting Caught's Amanda Yachechak in new children's musical, "Uncle Pirate"!

Amanda Yachechak will be performing in a new children's musical, "Uncle Pirate" at Vital Theatre. It's a wonderful story about a boy who's afraid of everything, and whose uncle is a pirate. Amanda is cast in the role of Captain Jack, a singing, dancing penguin! She says, "The music and script are fabulous and the cast is terrific. It's a really exciting project to be working on, and has potential to really go places. Great for anyone who loves pirates, great musical theatre, children's stories, and/or talking animals". The script was written by Ben Winters, who also wrote Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.

Uncle Pirate runs Jan. 16-Feb. 28 at Vital Theatre, 2162 Broadway (at 76th street). Saturday and Sunday, 11am and 1pm. Tickets are $25, but use the code UPVEB for $15 tickets. Amanda also has 2 free tickets for opening weekend, and an additional 2 free tickets for any show. Below is a link to the webblast for the show, with all the information, a fun picture and synopsis. Tickets can be purchased at the box office on the day of the show, or can be purchased in advance.

Welcome to 2010!

Peace and blessings to you all! Welcome to 2010! We’re so happy that you’re all well and in good health and spirit. 2009 was a very productive year for the Getting Caught crew. If you’ve been following this blog, you know that we’ve been diligent in our efforts to finish our film. It’s been a labor of love and it wouldn’t have been possible with our extremely supportive staff, crew and actors. We were truly blessed! Right now, Getting Caught is in the middle of post-production and is slated for release this coming fall. If anyone has any questions about the independent filmmaking process or is interested in having a screening in their area, please feel free to drop us a line on this blog and/or contact us at jjcfilms@gmail.com. Once again, thank you for your support and have a prosperous new year!
