Starting Thursday, The Mistakes Madeline Made runs for 7 performances, April 4-6 and 10-13 (Tickets). During the dark nights of Madeline, we feature 4 solo shows and a singer/songwriter with our ninth Plus One Solo Show Festival, April 7-8 (Tickets). All shows are $18, begin at 8 pm, and run at The Bridge Theatre @ Shetler Studios (244 West 54th Street, 12th Floor, NYC).
Joel Haberli is a heart breaker, literally and figuratively. We sat him down and grilled him a little about his solo show, Cracks in a Concrete Heart.

Give me your best elevator speech about your solo show.
It's about a lifelong womanizer who faces a possibly life-altering health issue and wonders if there's a connection between his emotional and physical being.
What inspired you to write your piece?
My friend Jeanette Bonner took Matt Hoverman's "Create Your Own Solo Show" Class and I was so impressed by her show that I thought I'd give it a try. I've been thinking about writing this story for some time... seeing her show was the kick in the pants I needed!
What's your writing/rehearsal process like?
Write, write, write... edit, edit, edit! I always start at the beginning of what I've written and go through the whole thing trying to be objective about what works and what doesn't. I'm a big believer in "tweaking." Rehearsal involves memorizing it and then working with my director to try and make it more than what I envisioned.
