More Eric! At Paris In Plantsville!

This is not so much "Josh and Todd" news, but it's still related!

An April 2, 2011 he will be having a solo art show of his archaeological illustrations at Paris In Plantsville entitled
"Temporal Artistry"

As an archaeological illustrator for the last 9 years, Eric has completed hundreds of field illustrations that span several archaeological facets including artifact rendering, stratigraphic diagramming, vessel profiling, tomb mapping, and architectural floor plan illustration. He has worked at several sites throughout

Israel including Qumran, Bethsaida, and the Roman Fort at Yotvata, and his illustrations appear in several publications including magazines, reports, and textbooks.

Eric holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in illustration from the Hartford Art School, and a Master of Arts degree in Religious Studies with a focus in death and burial practices from Sacred Heart University. Currently employed as a conservation assistant in the Paintings Conservation department at the Yale Center for BritishArt, Eric has recently begun a working relationship with the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Yale and is performing freelance work for the Department of Egyptology.

Getting married...

Yup, Eric, our "Josh" is getting married. The wonderful woman who has decided to slum it with him is Heather... And we think she deserves better, but who are we to say, we play with puppets!

Here's to a happy, healthy, fruity future!

Meet the Cast - Eric Stegmaier

Eric Stegmaier as Josh

Eric is making his film debut in "Josh and Todd: The Story of A Man And His Puppet"

Co-Director Jon Bristol suggested Eric to play Josh after having been friends with him for several years and sharing a very unique sense of humor with him. Jon says; "Eric is the perfect fit for the lead roll of Josh, he embodies all the twitchiness and pent up fun just begging to explode out. And when it happens he steals the show."

Eric is a professional artist and graduated in 2002 from the Hartford Art School with a BFA in illustration- cum laude, then went on to graduate from Sacred Heart University with a MA Religious Studies with concentration in Biblical Archaeology/Death & Burial Practices in 2007, recieving the Medal of Academic Achievment.
Eric is a classy guy, he has been the Chief Illustrator for the Qumran Archaeological Excavation in 2002, Chief Illustrator- Qumran Archaeological Excavation: West Bank, Israel 2002, and the Archaeological Specialist: Roman Fort at Yotvata- Yotvata, Israel 2004 to present.
He has had many of his archaeological illustrations published, have you?
No. We didn't think so.
Eric has a day job too: He's the Senior Paintings Conservation Assistant at the Yale Center for British Art- Yale University.

And now the best part, Eric recently proposed to his lovely longtime girlfriend, Heather.
Congrats!

Eric and Joe Calvo ham it up inbetween takes

The Cast of Josh & Todd and the first week of rehearsals.

Hey all!

So Last week we wrapped up the first set of rehearsals for Josh & Todd! In order have rehearsals, you would think that we have finalized a cast. You would be correct. We took some pictures of the cast to post on the site, or rather I took said pictures. Needless to say, they came out horribly, and I will therefore not post them, as they will not do the actors justice. I will have some new pics soon, and will post them AS SOON as I take them...promise!

I will however take a minute to actually give you our cast list:

Eric Stegmaier as Josh
Jon Bristol as Todd

Jennifer Tanner as Stacy
Elizabeth Bohmier as Dawn

Mark Elsinger as The Brain
Gabe Finkenstein as Hunter
Josh Tanner as Bob
Joe Calvo as Sue
Russ Bird as Jimmy the Record Store Guy
Amanda Regan as The Blind Date
and
a special appearance by Johnnie Sojive

There are several other cameos and such, including one from yours truely (of course, my ego knows no bounds!), but this is your prinicple cast. I have to say that we put together an excellent cast. I think you will agree when you see the final product.

We are continuing to rehearse and are planning on beginning principle filming on Saturday!

That's it for now. But I assure you, there will be more to come.

Until then,

Jim
