The Tin Man

Attack of the Theater People

Marc Acito’s new novel, Attack of the Theater People, comes out later this month. Anyone who loves theater should read his first novel, How I Paid for College: A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship & Musical Theater; a funny, heartwarming and sexy story about New Jersey theater geeks.

Anyway, Marc has posted a short video promoting the book. I love it.

Who hasn’t thought about making out with a poster of Cheyenne Jackson?

I can’t wait.

Though I got embarrassed watching that. Which is why I was not meant for the stage.

I loved the first book. It was such a fun summer read.

Thank you so much for posting this and for all of your support. Getting a novel noticed is an uphill climb and I need all the sherpas I can get.

Please put 5/12 on your calendar and come to my reading at Barnes & Noble–W. 82nd Street so I can thank you in person.

Enthusiastically,

Marc

I remember making a mental note of “How I Paid for College” when it first came out because the plot sounded prety funny. But I wasn’t a theater geek then, so I completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. I’ll definitely check it out.
