Superman: Requiem (2011)

When the Man of Steel is rendered almost powerless by an evil mastermind, he must find a way to prove to the world that he is still a super man.

The Men (and Woman) of Steel: A Retrospective

With the May 2015 opening of It’s a Bird, It’ a Plane, It’s… Superman, the 1966 musical, at the Community Theatre of Howell in Howell, Michigan (of which I am proudly serving as director), I thought it appropriate to tie together the cinematic, silver screen and stage appearances of the Man of Steel in one retrospective. Out of all of our comic book heroes, Supes has gotten the absolute most screen time (far more than Batman, Spider-Man, Hulk, etc.). Still, with the thousands of comic book adventures, feature films, television shows and stage productions there are only a handful of people that have donned the tights and represented truth, justice and the American way in the media.

I know I say this all the time, but it is an incredible honor to be able to work in Superman’s world. Being part of that small handful of artists that populate Metropolis, Smallville and Krypton is something I will cherish for the rest of my days. How will we stack up against the following roll call of the world’s biggest Boy Scout? Join us at The Blog of Steel and watch the journey unfold. Until then… this looks like a job for, well, for me.

Auditions - February 27 and 28!

Family Fun Fair - January 31, 2015 @ Cleary U.

The Man of Steel (Mike Marino) and the Cougar of Cleary!

It was our distinct pleasure to visit the Family Fun Fair presented by From the Ground Up and hosted by Cleary University today! Special guest, WHMI's own morning show co-host, Mike Marino, donned the scarlet and blue to help us promote It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman AND literacy! Every flier handed out was attached to a collectible comic book. We will be doing more of these events in the near future, including the Livingston County Home Show!

Fantasy of Lights Parade - November 27, 2014

Superman and The Community Theatre of Howell were more than happy to help out The Torch mobile food truck when it broke down on the side of the road! The Be a Hunger Hero campaign was in full swing and The Torch needed to be up and running. With only a few Christmas lights to tow the truck with, Superman tugged the mobile food truck right through the whole parade!

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman has partnered up with a bunch of great events and charities, but this is our favorite so far. Be a Hunger Hero with The Torch and the annual Fantasy of Lights Parade with the Howell Chamber of Commerce!

What a lucky break! Superman was there to help!
