Starting Out (2016)

Aaron Novak | Executive Producer

A young lawyer impulsively quits her job to become a stand-up comic after being pushed on stage at an open mic night.

  • Aaron has been a part of my company for 15+ years. He is an incredible actor. His Hamlet was one of the best I've ever seen: passionate, vulnerable, funny, fierce. He's the reason that our company earned a two year NYSCA grant. Every project I've worked with him on (Nocturnes, one acts, kid's shows, Shakespeare) has been a gift. A really special artist and kind man.

    Artistic Director at Piper Theatre Productions

  • Aaron was a professional who worked with a positive attitude. He would ask incredibly astute questions showing that he was always thinking and analyzing, creating and working as part of an ensemble. He was punctual, off book well ahead of deadline, and I ended up working with him twice after. He is talented, imaginative, and a real pleasure to work with. Additionally, I discovered other talents--he plays guitar, can create music, and is versed in unarmed stage combat. I would welcome an opportunity to work with him again.

    Acting Coach

  • Aaron seemed to have an intuitive understanding of both his character and the script as a whole, but still he never stopped doing his homework and experimenting. He took direction perfectly and always showed up with the energy and work ethic required of a productive rehearsal. Frankly, even if he wasn't talented and driven, I probably still would have enjoyed working with him. He's just such a likable guy.
