I know a lot of this information has already been posted, but instead of picking out the parts that haven't, I'm posting all of it again. It was supposed to be posted on the FBR website, but my computer has crashed and I have lost nearly everything and will have to rebuild the website. So, in the meantime, if you know of fans who aren't on the list, please forward this on to them. And let's hope the show gets picked up. -- Andrea

We invite you to be a part of our studio audience for an ABC television sitcom pilot "Madigan Men," being filmed with the great Irish actor, Gabriel Byrne ("The Usual Suspects," "Miller's Crossing"). He is also currently starring in "A Moon for the Misbegotten" on Broadway. It's being directed by James Burrows ("Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Cheers," "Frazier"). The writer/creator is Cindy Chupack ("Sex in the City").

It's basically about Mr. Byrne's character, Ben Madigan, who is a very successful architect living in New York City. He has just recently separated from his wife of many years and is just getting back into the dating game. He sees his teenage son, Lucas, every other weekend. In this pilot, his father, Seamus, is coming to visit him from Dublin. Seamus is a zany, yet very straightforward character. The show is a comical look at three generations of Irish men. I've read the script and think that you will all have a real fun evening!

When: Thursday, April 13 & Tuesday, April 18 4 p.m.- 5 p.m. 7 p.m.- 10:30 p.m. (Arrival time: 3 p.m.) (Arrival time: 6 p.m.)

Where: Kaufman Astoria Studios 34th Ave. between 35th and 36th Streets Astoria, Queens Landmark Entrance
