Nice one.

"William and the Tradesmen" just enjoyed an incredible run at The Drilling Company with Project: Theater. Like a flame, the run burned hot and all too brief.

PICTURES and MOVIES to come! Please stay tuned.

As ever, no show is ever brought to life by one person. William and all the Tradesmen would like to thank the following people for making this show a reality: Director Craig Wroe, Producer Joe Jung, Lighting Designer Alex Goldberg, Stage Manager Carmen Torres, as well as Project: Theater co-founder Jessi Blue Gormezano, whose solo show, "Mark My Words," ran in rep with "William and the Tradesmen," and lent our show not just its stage and many props, but also some much-needed inspiration!!

Special thanks also to Ted Cahn and Curran Bell, whose documentation will surely win prizes and bring more people to know who William and the Tradesmen really are.

Thank you all.

Eli James.

I would like to watch it but I'm way too far away. Isn't there any online show?

Hi Owl Girl - Yes, you are far away. I am working on a video version right now! Right now you can check out the "trailer," which is three minutes long, but isn't the whole show.

Alternately, you could help the show find a live booking in Spain!

Thanks for your interest!
