October 6, 2005 Whee! I'm directing a staged reading of my play, Babies With Rabies, for the Spotlight On Halloween Festival. I've assembled a fantastic cast and it is going to be a blast!
May 25, 2005 It's been a while. :) I'm acting again! I'm going to be part of the Gallery Players' Black Box Festival in Brooklyn. I will be in the final week in a children's play, The Runaway Birthday, by the talented Jennifer Palumbo. We're in rehearsals now. Very excited!
December 22, 2004 Wow, I've been really bad at updating this thing. Bad Jonathan! Bad! I recently directed a production of Lesli-Jo Morizono's play, Now I Lie, at last October's Spotlight On Halloween Festival. It was a great experience, and worked with three fantastic actresses. I have something major coming up next month. Cuchipinoy is putting up its first mainstage show, and it will be my play, The Magnificent Mr. Vincent. After many years of development and readings, the play is finally going to receive a full production. I've been making rewrites even after rehearsal had started, but I think that the play is the strongest it has ever been and I think I am finally happy with it. By old buddy, Mario Corrales, directs. We have a fabulous cast. Here is the info:
So excited!
June 25, 2004 After a really long hiatus, I am actually doing a full production of a show! I'm so busy I can't even update my own site until two weeks before. :) I am directing the revised version of The Green Dragon which goes up in July. This is one of the most involved productions I have directed to date. It's going to be pretty awesome.
March 7, 2004 Wow, it's been a while since I've last updated! I've been very busy the past few months working on my plays. I finally completed the first (or I guess this is the second) draft of The Green Dragon. I had a small private reading of it last month and will once again go back to make more rewrites. I'm very excited about the play and I think it will be quite something when it is finally completed. It had better, considering how long I've been working on it. :) In addition, I completed another full length play with the fun title called Babies With Rabies, a comedy which is a sort of cross between Noises Off, Marat/Sade, and Twelfth Night. I wrote the play in a marathon session of three weeks in order to complete it by the February 14th Deadline of the NY Fringe Festival. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Finally, I am happy to announce that my play, The Magnificent Mr. Vincent, has been selected by the Genesius Guild for the Raw Reading Series. I'm very excited about it. The reading takes place on March 21st at 5pm at 520 8th Ave. 3rd floor, NYC. Visit the site for complete details. Aside from my writing, I have been taking voice lessons and performance classes with Linda Glick for over a year now. Hopefully, I will get to use my vastly improved vocal abilities soon. :)
September 26, 2003 I'm laying low for the next few months; working on my plays, taking classes, etc. In the meantime, here are a couple of miscellaneous things: I am featured in the September 19th Issue of Backstage
in their "Spotlight" Issue on Headshots and Resumes written by
Elias Stimac. My headshot was on the print issue in all its
glory. (Speaking of which, it's probably time to get new
ones. Reviews for Who Am I at the Midtown Theatre Festival have been great!: Martin Denton of NYTheatre.com:

Amanda Koch of The Hudson Current:
Speaking of which, I will once again be designing the website for the festival. Check it out.
August 19, 2003 I have a play going up this week!
Hope y'all can make it... especially if you missed the run last October!

June 17, 2003 I am directing the inaugural reading of Cuchipinoy and _gaia's new Nine Muses Reading Series. The play, Now I Lie, by Lesli-Jo Morizono, will be read on Thursday, June 19, 2003 at _gaia Studio. For complete details, click here. We are also deep in rehearsals for the production of Who Am I at the Midtown International Theatre Festival this July. Click here for complete information.
April 17, 2003 I'm also happy to say that Who Am I has been accepted into this year's Midtown International Theatre Festival. We will be performing it in July.
February 21, 2003 So this is what's new. Cuchipinoy Productions has kicked into high gear and we have many great things coming up. Up next is Medieval (K)nights at the Spotlight On Winter Festival at Chashama Theatre. I am serving as Producer and Promotions for this show. As with the last few Spotlight On Festivals, I am also the webmaster and have drawn up a really awesome site for the festival. (Hehe) In the meantime, I am working on a major rewrite of The Green Dragon. I'm very excited about it. In addition, I have turned into quite the student and am taking voice lessons, dance classes, and I'm taking a screenwriting course at NYU, which I plan to pursue into a screenwriting certificate (fairly soon, I'll be Actor, Playwright, Screenwriter, etc...). I'll also be part of the playwright's forum again this spring at the Playwrights Horizon Theater School. One last thing... I have a new and hopefully permanent email. You can now send email to jonathan@jonathancalindas.net. I guess that's it for now. Go see Medieval (K)nights!!!
November 4, 2002 The 4 am 'lizbeth was reviewed by Talkin' Broadway. Click here to read the review. I've put up the new full length version of The 4 am 'lizbeth in the plays page. Click here to read it. I have also been part of a playwright's forum at the Playwrights Horizon Theater School, where I'm currently developing further my play The Magnificent Mr. Vincent.
