FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 16, 2006 – Echo is primal movement, Echo is rock n' roll, Echo is revelatory. Each week, the cast of Echo presents and then deconstructs slice-of-life scenes, revealing the truths of everyday interaction through music and highly stylized action. The result is a fast-paced show that evokes everything from Buster Keaton to Kabuki Theater to Keith Richards.

Echo is created and directed by Deanna Fleysher (creator/director of the erotic improv show, Foreplay), and stars Shawn Amaro, Krista Amigone, John Frusciante, Mark Grenier, May Lane, T.J. Mannix, Eileen Mullane, Duncan Murdoch, and Chris Ryan. Echo is the first production to be developed through The Rep - Magnet Theater's innovative system for original show development. Production staff for Echo includes Scott Sherman (Producer) and Shannon Manning (Executive Producer), with technical direction by Alex Marino.

Echo premieres on Friday, February 24th at 8 PM and runs each Friday through April 14th. Tickets for Echo are seven dollars at the door and can be reserved in advance by calling Magnet Theater at 212-244-8824. Magnet is located at 254 W. 29th St. between 7th and 8th Ave. For more information on Echo, other show listings, or course offerings at Magnet, please visit www.magnettheater.com. Questions are press inquiries regarding this event should be emailed to Producer Scott Sherman at scott@magnettheater.com.

Established in early 2005 by Armando Diaz, Shannon Manning, Alex Marino, and Ed Herbstman, Magnet Theater offers classes in improv and sketch comedy from the best teachers in NYC. In addition to its dedication to teaching the craft of comedy theater, Magnet features shows four nights a week, including the distinctive show series, The Rep, and Magnet’s resident improv ensemble night, Megawatt.
