Spotlight On: Adam Pisarski

 

Connecticut Theatre Company’s “Spotlight On…” series continues with a look into our talented cast of The Producers. Get to know Adam Pisarski who is in the ensemble of our production!

 

 

Introduce yourself to our audience.

Hello! My name is Adam Pisarski, I’m 25 years old, and I will be playing the role of Ensemble in CTC’s production of The Producers.

 

What is the story about , and why do you think it’s important for audiences to see it?

This magical musical is about two men, Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom who embark on a wild and crazy journey to produce the worst flop on Broadway!

 

What do you do when you’re not doing theatre?

I don’t have much of a life outside of theatre, so I would say I work, eat, sleep, play video games, or sing. Then repeat the process. Nothing special.

 

What do you find most compelling or interesting about your character?

What I like about Jack LaPidus is that he’s everywhere. He starts out attending Max’s show in the beginning, then goes back to work as an accountant, he quits that job due to a “toxic work environment,” then he gets a new job working as a New York cop, keeping the streets safe. He then decides to pursue his passion and auditions for the new “Springtime for Hitler” which doesn’t go so well for him, but he still gets in the show anyway. After the run, he still keeps his job as a cop while also having a part time job as a mailman in the local prison where he gets arrested for letter fraud. So my man Jack is everywhere.

 

How is this production bringing something new to this story?

 

Who in the show is most like their character?

Liam, who plays Carmen, is a splitting image of his character. His personality, his character, his emotions. With Liam, it’s the real deal.

 

Without giving anything away, what’s your favorite line of dialogue?

“NEVER SHOW TO THE IRS!”

 

What will the audience be thinking about in the car as they drive home after this show?

That was a great show!

“For all its daring, Brooks’s show is ultimately a nostalgic throwback to vaudeville and a testament to male friendship.”  —  The Guardian

 

“With more belly laughs per minute than any new musical in years, Mel Brooks’ “The Producers” reminds us in grand, politically incorrect style that Broadway never rewards wimps.” — Variety

 

“It’s the type of musical people say they pray for; a gleeful return to the good old days of undemanding musical comedy with laughs, pretty girls, laughs, a couple of catchy songs, laughs, soon to be legendary performances by some of the best talents of the Broadway stage, laughs, and . . . well . . . lots and lots of laughs.” —  Talkin’ Broadway
