“It is truly unbelievable that it has taken this long for a stage version of ‘The Breakfast Club’ to come along,” proclaims Producer/Director/Writer Dana Discordia. Well, if the hordes of devoted fans who waited in line to see the early performances last summer are any indication, it has certainly been worth the wait. This hilarious parody of John Hughes classic 1980’s “fuck-off” flick tenderly, albeit nastily, pays homage to the high school characters we have all come to love. After several years of collaborative development, the play has emerged as a quick-cut, fast-paced comic tribute to a film whose dramatization of high school teen angst is as funny and relevant today as ever. Satirical, irreverent, and ultimately filled with love for its high school film genre, 1980’s origins, and stereotypical teenage types, this Breakfast Club convenes once again in New York City’s East Village.more…
EchoHill Productions was formed by East Village-native Dana Discordia in 2003. Staffed by a diverse group of young New York City theater and design professionals, this fledgling company, under the direction of Producer Dana Discordia made its production debut this past summer with a workshop production of You See Us as You Want to See Us…Reflections from the Breakfast Club at Opaline nightclub in the East Village. EchoHill and Mr. Discordia currently have several other future projects in development.
Producer Dana Discordia’s other credits include: Beauty Knows No Pain, a film parody of the 1971 Elliot Erwitt documentary of the same name. This piece was entered into, and accepted by, the New York Underground Film Festival. It was also showcased at the Metro Gallery in San Francisco. My Father’s A Janitor, a film parody satirizing after school television specials. The B-Movie Murders, a stylized, black and white stage production lampooning the melodrama of old 1940’s cinema. Faggot Feud, a gay-friendly version of the game show, Family Feud. Five years since its inception, this nightclub act is still a popular weekly event in New York gay nightlife.
