PBnDeb has just released their second album entitled "ZOO DANCE" which can be purchased
from cdbaby.com/pbndeb. Or you can download the entire album
from the Itunes store, search on PB & Deb. Check out their website www.pbndeb.com
Deb completed filming a Vicks commercial as a synchronized swimmer. It's a very funny campaign about syncronized swimmers who have different cold symptoms and are 'out of synch'. She is not a synchronized swimmer but due to her strong swimming skills was able to fake it nicely for the spot. Watch for her sneezing character coming to a tv near you soon!
Deb is published in two magazines! Check out Deb's "How To" article in Studio Magazine's online and publshed version. http://www.studiodaily.com/main/training/howtutorials/f/production/9763.html/ A second feature article appeared in September's issue of In Hollywood. www.inmag.com.
In July, Deb taught on-camera commercial and film auditioning class for kids ages 7-16 at the Deborah Gibson's Electric Youth Camp.
Deb joined Walker Fitzgibbon TV and Film Productions as Head of Development and production! As an award winning writer, director, producer and actor she brings valuable insight from all sides of the camera to the company. Deb's mission is to brand Walker/Fitzgibbon TV & Films in Hollywood as a top production company of television reality shows, films, music videos, and long-form documentaries. Her personal desire is to develop children's television series where a culmination of all of her experiences and talents can be focused. She has two new children's series in development. Never one to slow down, she is writing a young adult fantasy book and several picture books.
REVIEWS:
Breakup Notebook, Hudson Theatre
"Deb Snyder as Helen's mother brings
soul to the affair with a pitch-perfect scene of resignation,
fear, and ultimate acceptance regarding her daughter's orientation.
It's a scene that has played out a million times between
gay child and straight parent, and The Break Up Notebook
does it justice."
- Neal Broverman, ADVOCATE.COM
"Moving on isn't easy, especially with her friends
setting her up on nightmarish blind dates, including a meeting
with a riotously rigid not yet "lesbian identified"
attorney (Deb Snyder, an amazingly funny cross between
Vivian Vance, Eve Arden, and Thelma Ritter). Particularly
poignant is the obligatory cross-country phone conversation
for Helen to break it to parents that her relationship ended
several months earlier. Her mother (again Snyder, of course)
is at first elated, thinking her little girl has just said
she's given up women."
-Travis Michael Holder, WWW.REVIEWPLAYS.COM
"Lilith Fair sentiment becomes Broadway
pizazz...Mom (Deb Snyder), ... seriocomic scene late in
Act 1 grounds Helen's adolescent-memories monologue and
soaring 'I Know How'."
- David C. Nichols, LA TIMES
"Director Sue Hamilton has assembled
an impeccable, highly professional cast, and the production
possesses an undeniable peppiness and polish. With a clear
base audience and a mainstream sensibility, it's easy to
imagine this show being around for a while."
- Steven Oxman, VARIETY
SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION, Long Beach Playhouse
"Snyder is especially compelling throughout,
as she deftly peels away Ouisa's thin veneer of reserved
condescension to reveal the vulnerable and softhearted woman
underneath. In the end, Snyder makes Ouisa's growing compassion
for Paul -- who's ultimately imprisoned for his schemes
-- believable and thoroughly heartbreaking."
- Kristina Mannion, BACKSTAGE WEST
ATLANTA, Powerhouse Playhouse
"Deb Snyder, as Atalanta's goofy maid, adds yet more
pizazz to this colorful children's parable."
-F. Kathleen Foley, LA TIMES
"There are 17 songs in the one-act production,
and several are quite clever, including a funny number,
"The Game," in which Atalanta and her assistant,
Imogene (Deb Snyder), wade through the letters and gifts
from perspective grooms."
- Jeff Favre, DAILY BREEZE
BACKSTAGE REVIEW – Year End
“Off Off Broadway newcomer Deb Snyder gave zany,
cartoonish spins to two looney characters in “Fetid
Itch” and “The Sacrifice of Maine Virgins for
the Sake of Art” both for the Votex Theatre Company.
She definitely deserves some kind of special award for Best
Featured Actress in an Equity Showcase.”
– David Sheward, BACKSTAGE
PERSONALS– the Musical
"Snyder’s varied repertoire calls to mind the
creativity of Lily Tomlin and Gilda Radner."
- Michael Rausch, ENTERTAINMENT
PUSHING HANDS– Film by Ang Lee
“Ang Lee captures the characters with such assurance
that they never become stereotypes, and the cast embodies
them superbly.”
– Betsy Sherman, THE BOSTON GLOBE
“Snyder handles a difficult role with skill.”
– Derek Elly, VARIETY
