Andy Prescott ... in "Cigarette Juice"

Andy Prescott co-stars as "Milton"
in a USC thesis short film:

"Open Mic"
in the fictional setting of
"The Throne Room Café"

"Open Mic" is the story of Sam Harvey, a bright-eyed musician who stumbles upon a surreal open mic night at the Throne Room Café, only to find that once you enter, there's no way out. At least not through any door. As Sam battles a bad case of stage fright, he joins the Throne Room's eccentric cast of crooners in an effort to outsmart the omniscient gatekeeper, Papa Joe. But in the end it is a disdainful barista named Isabel who helps Sam find his voice and discover a portal back to the real world.

Milton (played by Andy Prescott) is the only regular who actually savors the soup du jour. It inspires him to write an entire notebook of songs. The only thing Milton loves more than soup is…Jenny. He loves her a lot. Mixed tapes a lot. Bathroom stall style graffiti a lot. He once managed to escape from the Throne Room, but girls on the outside just couldn’t compare. So he came back for round two, completely unaware that his behavior might strike some critics as stalker-esque.

You have to be fearless creating characters and scenes.This sketch group will hopefully be a great way for Andy to be seen online playing a variety of funny characters. Ten episodes were planned in March/April, with more anticipated. Some links are at the top of this page, please follow each link and enjoy!

At the end of the filming of another USC movie, Andy Prescott got an audition for this USC short film, "Jurassic Park: The Musical". Andy got the part of a guy named Mark who, in the movie, is auditioning for the role of the T-Rex.

"Open Mic" --- a USC thesis short film --- casts Andy Prescott as "Milton" ... In March, Andy Prescott got an audition for, and then got the part of Milton in a USC thesis short film called (of all things!) "Open Mic."

But I love Jenny more, she's got me on my knees." Milton also loves soup. Filming started March 17th, and wrapped March 21, 2009. We'll let you know when it comes out and you can hopefully see it somewhere.
"Donny Clay" --- Webisode of the series pilot --- casts Andy Prescott as "Family Man" ... Andy Prescott was selected, from all submitted photos, for a close background role in this project by Jason Alexander (best known for his role as "George Costanza" on Seinfeld), the star of this webisode. Filmed on Monday, 2/16/09, with Jason Alexander as "Donny Clay" ... this pilot webisode is the precursor for a TV Pilot. (A "webisode" is a short episode which airs initially as an Internet download or stream, as opposed to first airing on broadcast or cable television.) Andy Prescott appears in the role of "Family Man" while Jason Alexander stars as "Donny Clay", an inspirational speaker like Tony Robbins, who, in the scene, points out to "Family Man" (Andy Prescott), that while "Family Man" considers himself a family man, he is really never home with his family ... out Monday nights for Monday Night Football, Tuesday nights he's out for poker, Wednesdays for something else... Andy Prescott portrays a funny moment of realization when hearing this truth. If this show gets "picked up" and turned into a TV show, it could mean more work for Andy.
"Tim & Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job!" --- Cartoon Network's Adult Swim ... Andy Prescott is a supporting actor in a sketch comedy segment titled "Cigarette Juice" on the Cartoon Network. UPDATE: A link to this segment is now available on the web, and the link appears above on this page with a still from the segment.

"Wizards of Waverly Place" --- A Disney Channel Original Series ... Andy Prescott was in an episode of the show "Wizards of Waverly Place" as one of fifteen wizards. The episode is titled "Alex in the middle." The Plot ... The Russos are a lot like the families in their Manhattan neighborhood with one significant difference …they come from a long line of wizards and now the three teens in the house – Justin, Alex and Max – must learn to hone their budding magical powers or soon risk losing them. "Wizards of Waverly Place," is a comedy series created and executive-produced by Todd Greenwald ("Hannah Montana") and executive-produced by Peter Murietta ("Greetings from Tucson," "Hope & Faith").

Thank you to everyone attending September 2006 performances of
Andy Prescott: About Face™
A Dramatic Comedy About Plastic Surgery

Produced as part of the 2006 Philly Fringe festival.

Andy presented eight performances of his play at Plays and Players Theater, during the first two weeks of September, and greatly appreciates your support!

Odette's
River Road, New Hope, PA

Odette's (piano bar, cabaret theater room, and restaurant) was named one of the top ten venues of it's type in the United States, by USA Today. Odette's carries a rich history, and Andy Prescott is proud to have been an Odette's entertainer for over 15 years. One day, hopefully, he will have the chance to entertain there again someday...

Odette's: 2006-2011 flood time line.
by Gary H.

6/28/06 ... Odette's CLOSED, due to major flood.
6/29/06 ... Odette's reports six feet of water is expected throughout the first floor. Pianos (both of them) and other cabaret equipment are moved to higher ground, just in time, before flood waters entered the Piano Bar and Theater Room.
6/29/06 ... Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the Delaware River was expected to crest at some 14+ feet over flood stage level.
7/01/06 ... Philadelphia Inquirer reports: "... Perhaps the worst damage was to Odette's, the venerable restaurant along the canal. Mud covered newly installed hardwood floors and carpeting. New windows were shattered by water pressure. Kitchen equipment lay in ruins, and drywall and insulation were soaked five feet up. Still, Lee and Marie Schwartz, who have owned Odette's for 21 years, hoped to rebuild and reopen in about six weeks. 'You know,' Marie Schwartz said, 'We could almost hire ourselves out as flooding consultants.' ..." (Marc Schogol, Inquirer Staff Writer).
7/03/06 ... Odette's Cabaret website indicates the possibility of a LATE AUGUST reopening.
7/14/06 ... An email update from Bob Egan said ... "Odette's is still closed due to June 28th's devastating flood. Expected re-opening is late August, 2006. Many thanks, for your concerns and support. We'll keep you up to date, and hope to see you all very soon. Sincerely, Bob Egan & the Barbone Family."
7/15/06 ... A visit to Odette's today revealed a half-dozen emergency flood response trucks and trailers parked in the muddy parking lot ... 15" diameter flexible air ducts connect to the building in multiple places ... the other end connected to the trucks that pump hot treated air inside 24/7 ... it is like seeing your best friend connected to a ventilator. A 30-yard dumpster is bulging with debris. A peek in the windows reveals barren rooms, except for extractors and air handling equipment inside. Mud traces can be seen on the outside of the building, chest high on a tall man. BUT, this building is expected to be returned in a short time to again be one of our favorite venues..
7/22/06 ... an email update from Bob Egan said ... "As of today, Odette's is still closed with no re-opening date set. This of course is due to June 28th's devastating flood - the third in only 20 months. Measures are being persued to prevent this level of damage for the future. With three floods this soon, it seems apparent that the time has come to act in a different manner and look into how Odette's can remain on it's lovely river setting. Stay tuned. Odette's WILL be back, and better-than-ever! A temporary space for the Cabaret is being worked on, and you'll be among the first to know when and where. We thank you for your support and concerns. Most sincerely, Bob Egan and The Barbone Family."
8/2/06 ... a fundraiser for the "Cabaret at Odette's" was held by New York friends of Bob Egan, at Iridium Jazz Club, on Broadway at 51st, in NYC. Over 30 performers (including Andy Prescott) were rotated on stage during this FOUR HOUR cabaret show. Performers included all types of Cabaret, Jazz, Saloon, and Broadway talent, from New York City and from New Hope. Iridium is a great venue ... if you are in NYC, please check it out!
8/14/06 ... Visiting Odette's building today, I discovered that the building is now off of the "ventilator" and is breathing on it's own! The muck and water-soaked debris has been cleaned out after the flood. An investigation of ways to protect the place from flooding so badly in future storms is still continuing, before interior repairs are completed.
8/20/06 ... Bob Egan Entertainment released the following statement: "Odette's, as we knew it, will sadly not be re-opening. Still, I hope to have better news soon-- of a new location for Odette's. It's my wish that Andy, George, Liz and I are all performing, once again, under the same roof. Meanwhile, some of the Cabaret shows will take place at the Stockton Inn (1 Main Street, Stockton, NJ 08559.) Many many thanks, for your support over the years, and for your good wishes through this rough time. Best to you always, Bob Egan, Bob Egan Entertainment, Inc. Producer of; Cabaret at Odette's."
8/30/06 ... Bob Egan Entertainment released the following statement: "I regret to say that Odette's will not be reopening, after the third flood in only 20 months time. Sad end to a wonderful 21 years there. Many thanks to all of you for your love and support over my time there. The Barbones - Marie, Lee, Diane, Marijane, David, and Mrs. B., miss all of you and asked me to extend their thanks and best wishes to all of you over the years. Sincerely, Bob Egan, Bob Egan Entertainment, Inc."
Fall 2006 ... Odette's property has been SOLD.
11/15/06 ... The famous piano from Odette's Piano Bar has been relocated to the NEW Bowman's Tavern, 2.2 miles South of Odette's on River Road. Check it out!
4/01/07 ... NOTE: The link we have had for the former Odette's Piano Bar and Restaurant , has been removed from this page of our website, as their website is no longer functioning.
4/29/07 ... BREAKING NEWS ... Bob Egan Entertainment writes ... "Odette's will reopen. Estimated reopening is late 2009, early 2010. www.thenewodettes.com will be up and running by summer. No more information ... at this point."
9/13/07 ... Bob Egan writes ... "A detailed presentation of the preliminary plans and architectural concepts for Odette's has been scheduled at next week's meeting of the New Hope Borough Council ... and what a plan! ... Odette's will hopefully rise again from the flood waters in the form of the original tavern, revival of the historic riverside Inn, and of course, the return of the cabaret! ... The ambitious plans anticipate not only elevating the historic building, but also restoring and reconstructing the surrounding state park and the original canal bridges!" NOTE: The meeting will start promptly at 7:30pm on September 19th, at the New Hope Solebury Upper Elementary School, 180 West Bridge Street, and all interested individuals are welcome to attend.
9/21/07 ... in The Times of Trenton ... "Michael Amery unveiled a $6 million plan to resurrect the historic flood-ravaged Odette's restaurant and restore the canal in the area surrounding the building. Amery ... said his concept was to make Odette's a showcase gateway to New Hope. In a presentation to the borough council (on September 19th, 2007), Amery illustrated how the building would be elevated by 11½ feet, which is 1½ feet over the high-water mark set by the flood of 1955. The restaurant, situated next to the canal and overlooking the Delaware River, has been a favorite entertainment attraction since World War II and in the past 20 years was the site of a nationally known cabaret that drew Broadway stars. The 1794 structure, when restored, would sit on stilts with parking space under the building. 'It will be an English-style tavern, which it probably always was, an inn with 12 guest rooms, a cabaret and an apartment for a manager,' said Amery."
10/25/07 ... by Jean Cervi in The Intelligencer and on phillyBurbs.com ...

     "The audience applauded ... Michael Amery's presentation on his plans to resurrect Odette's ... at the New Hope Chamber of Commerce (meeting on October 23rd) ... he began with photos of the historical structure and the many buildings surrounding it that have disappeared from the site over the years ... he pointed out that in 1955 the river was 3 feet higher than in the 100-year flood and that the flood of 2006 was actually 5 feet lower than the 1955 flood ... the $7 million to $8 million plan calls for raising the building 11 feet above flood level. Amery (said that) the elevation would not be noticeable from the road since Odette's presently sits 5 feet below the grade of River Road. The space under the building would provide parking for 96 vehicles. The plan includes elevating and restoring the original building plus constructing an English-style tavern and inn. All work done would include using the original stonework and murals. Colors and materials would be ... based on the original plans and what was typical in local bars and mills from the area during that era. The interior decor of the tavern would be much like the English taverns with smaller spaces to encourage interaction, multiple fireplaces and low ceilings with intimate lighting. There would also be a piano bar/restaurant. The inn would be a 12-room bed and breakfast with river views and a balcony 80 to 100 feet in length overlooking the river."

     "...The state owns all of the property surrounding Odette's. 'Step out the front door and you are on state property,' Amery said ... his plan, which includes the restoration and reconstruction of Odette's, would be funded privately while the restoration of the surrounding state-owned property would be publicly funded. The state has committed $1.5 million to the nearly $3 million project to clean out and restore the land around Odette's for a public state park. Restoration would include replacement of both the northern and southern bridges, cleaning out the canal in front of Odette's, reconstructing the factory lock gate, installing a new pedestrian bridge, and extending the towpath from the southern tip of New Hope to the state land surrounding Odette's ... if things go according to plan, the new Odette's would open in 2 1/2 years but work needs to begin by spring of 2008."

3/1/08 ... An artist rendering of the proposed exterior of The New Odette's became available, and is now shown at the bottom of this page. The original building (where the piano bar was located) is shown in white, with a black roof, in this drawing. Remember, it is proposed that the original building be elevated by 11 feet or so, and the rest is proposed new construction.

6/15/08 ... The Bucks County Courier Times ..."Odette's plan gets warm reception" By FREDA R. SAVANA, The Intelligencer/Bucks County Courier Times

     New Hope's iconic cabaret may be back for its encore. An ambitious plan for the second act of Odette's would turn the River Road location into a riverside destination with a 200-seat banquet facility, 120-seat restaurant, 12-room inn, English-style tavern, small spa and, of course, a cabaret. Borough council gave owner Mike Amery a government equivalent of a standing ovation last week, offering unanimous approval to Amery's new southern gateway. “It was a very significant step forward,” said the retired corporate executive. Odette's closed in 2006 and was later bought by Amery after three floods ripped through the centuries old building that sits five feet below grade. Already two years in the planning, the project has the conceptual name The Riverhouse at Odette's.
     “We're going to get Odette's...we're going to get a cabaret,” said a clearly pleased Councilwoman Gerry Delevich after the vote. While Amery said he intends to reestablish the cabaret-style theatre so loved by the community within the new development, it will be more than that. Calling it a “small, eclectic performance venue,” Amery said the theatre will host children's magic shows, comedy acts and other special performances New Hope is known for.
     Much remains to be done before the project can begin, however. Still, Amery said work could start early next year. All the property surrounding the site is owned by the state, a fact that has complicated the project but will also add to its overall natural beauty. Pennsylvania has committed millions of dollars to clean and restore the property around Odette's for a public state park and Amery intends to elevate the building 11 feet, adding a deck to enhance what he called, “one of the most dramatic views of the river for miles.” He credited the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources with being extremely cooperative, as the project includes restoring two historic bridges that cross the Delaware Canal, reconstructing the waterway's factory lock gate, installing a pedestrian bridge and extending the towpath from the southern tip of New Hope to the state land surrounding Odette's. Amery sees the towpath illuminated with period lighting too. Enthusiastic and passionate about his project, Amery believes it will be a shot in the arm for the town's business and arts communities. He said it will be a multi-million dollar project but declined to be specific about the cost. “I do believe it's critical to the evolution of New Hope. It will be a magnet, attracting investment into the historical district.” Delevich, along with her fellow council members, agrees. “It will do a great deal for the vitality of the borough. We would like to see it move along.” http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-06152008-1549352.html

6/23/08 ... BUCKS LIFE MAGAZINE ... "Back in a very big way" by Scott Edwards.
Closed since being ravaged for a third time in less than two years by flooding, Odette’s has become a symbol of the way the tide has turned in weary New Hope. But ambitious plans for its revival could spark renewed interest –and investment. Long before the Pennsylvania Impressionists discovered the Phillips’ Mill and nearby New Hope, there was the River House, which is better known today as its most recent existence, Odette’s.
