Bully Assemblies NY are a New York City based theatre troupe that are now taking their shows across America to fight the bullying epidemic within the education system.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2013 -- Bullying is a serious problem in American schools and accounts for a large amount of the discord, dissatisfaction and depression suffered by a growing number of school children. This adversely affects their grades and performance and by extension their futures. Bullies also learn a culture and behavior that will damage their ability to relate to others in later life. In order to prevent this from damaging the chances of a generation, Bully Assemblies NY have formed to deliver bully prevention assemblies in schools, and have now opened this offer to K-12 schools nationwide.

The anti-bully school shows have proven effective in New York schools already and has given the troupe the mandate to extend their offer to schools around the country. The show uses a combination of storytelling, scripted exchanges, monologues and spoken word accounts to create a vivid picture of the dangers of bullying not just for the victims but for the bullies as well, cautioning against anti-social behavior while at the same time encouraging pro-social interactions.

The program is tailored depending on whether it is aimed at K-5 or K-6-12, allowing for the message to reach people at different levels of maturity in relatable terms. The show uses a cast of three taking on multiple roles.

A spokesperson for Bully Assemblies NY explained, "We are opening up bookings for our show across the country because we understand that bullying in schools is a nationwide problem and not something confined to schools in New York. We are available for bookings from K-12 schools and will be looking to start the tour as soon as possible when we can create a schedule that will allow us to visit the maximum number of schools."

POOP the MOVIE flushes into New York

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/24/2013 -- Improv Comedy Troupe, Eight Is Never Enough (http://www.eightimprov.biz), has presented thousands of live shows in the past ten years, including "Improv 4 Kids" and "LMAO Off-Broadway". Their live comedy can be seen in action weekly at the Broadway Comedy Club and touring nationwide in schools, theaters and private/corporate events. Now the troupe is set to take on the big screen with "POOP: The Movie".

P.O.O.P. stands for "Professional Organization of Poggz". It's not uncommon for people to ask what are Poggz (AKA Pogs, Milkcaps). If people don't know they were not a kid, teen or immature 20-something in the mid-1990s, or a parent made to waste thousands of dollars on the fly-by-night fad.

FYI - All the POOP humor (toilet wise) is in the promotion of this film. The movie itself is a strong character comedy. From the Long Island Twins (that just happen to be gay and lesbian that hate each other played by Patrick Reidy and Rebecca Vigil), Southern Belle (Samantha Ciavarella), Upper East Side Socialite (Tara Novie), Cat Lover (Evan Schultz), Marilyn Monroe wannabe starlet from Hollywood (Melissa Bayern) and of course everyone's favorites - The Mormon Vampire (Andy Scannell) and Blackinese Nail Technician (Amelia Fowler). The movie is expected to be one of the underground hits of the year.

This mockumentary, created by Evan Schultz (8 improv member since 2009) promises to deliver to all fans of Christopher guest Movies (Best In Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind), The Office and / or Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Now in production (filming spring 2013) the troupe's project has been accepted by KICKSTARTER. The campaign is currently live. The film will be submitted to festivals and screened in New York and Los Angeles starting Late Summer 2013.
