Listen
to a live interview with Tony Fitzpatrick
on Vocolo. 89.5 FM
There are bums. There are tramps. There are
hobos. And then there’s Tony. Some guys just
can’t fit in. Fine artist, poet and storyteller
Tony Fitzpatrick delves into the Hobo Alphabet
for a musically-entertaining, visually-rich
and never dull night of theater. With returning
side-kick Stan Klein, mean-guitarist John Rice,
powerful vocalist Kat Eggleston. And Buzz Kilman!
Fitzpatrick’s THIS TRAIN was
developed with Ann Filmer for 16th Street where
all tickets were sold-out before it even opened
in its premiere in Berwyn. Now THIS
TRAIN returns with some additional
material, stunning video art by Kristin Reeves,
with vocalist Kat Eggleston (from Victory Gardens Snow Queen) and Buzz Kilman as Hobo
Ghost. “Tony Fitzpatrick writes poetry
like he does everything else – for keeps.” – Steve Earle
Running time 95 minutes with one intermission.
