ABOUT US AND OUR MISSION
fandango 4 Art House was founded in 2014 by Actor Judy Alvarez and Actor/Playwright Daniel Damiano, after existing as a sporadic production entity - fandango 4 productions, which produced productions of Daniel's FATE WOULD HAVE IT, THE WORLD IS MY CHEESECAKE and several incarnations of his one-man show THE HYENAS GOT IT DOWN:  TALES OF SAVAGERY, DEPRAVITY AND OTHER ACTS OF LOVE, which garnered MITF Award nominations for Best Actor and Production in 2011.

Since February 2014, we proudly presented our EyeShot Reading Series en route to our acclaimed inaugural production of Daniel Damiano's THE DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE OF PRIVATE PITTS in the Fall of 2015 in NYC, directed by the wonderful Kathy Gail MacGowan.   Since then, we have continued to make it our mission to produce cost-effective theatrical events, such as our free EyeShot Reading and Workshop Series. and also kicked off our new educational wing with our first Summer Playwriting Workshop, which saw our students learn the craft of playwriting, resulting in the creation of their own short plays which were then read by professional actors. 

​In 2018, we were thrilled to premier Daniel Damiano's AMERICAN TRANQUILITY, which has since gone on to play at the PIT Loft, the 2018 Downtown Urban Arts Festival, for an extended run at the East Village Playhouse, the 2019 Capital Fringe Festival in Washington DC and for a return engagement at the East Village Playhouse in NYC in Jan-February 2020.  In April 2020, in response to the unexpected pandemic, we created our Snippet Theatre Series (see homepage for episodes). 

Our mission is, quite simply, to continue creating thought-provoking events by which people can gather and savor live theatrical experiences together and encourage discussion, while also continuing to create educational opportunities designed to inspire and enrich.
