When I dreamed up Cross Media Theater in 2017 I had no idea this would take off the way it has & nine years later I would be doing the NINTH CMT & be doing it ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

I AM WHAT I AM Productions Presents.....

CROSS MEDIA THEATER NINE!
TONY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY SHOW & THE ANNIVERSARY OF IDIEDTRYING!

SATURDAY MARCH 6TH 2026
One Night Only - A Visceral One Man Performance - Followed By A Film Chosen By YOU!!!!!!

As always, I wanted to do something different & give you guys a unique & original shared experience, not just another generic "rock show." This WILL NOT be a typical show in any way. I have opened for almost all of my hero musicians & idiedtrying. is equally inspired by films as it is any music, so I decided that I wanted to start opening up for my favorite films! This will be the NINTH time!!!!!!! BIGGEST ONE YET!!!!!! AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be an immersive, multimedia experience.

Description....

Fresh off a successful release of his debut record, "frequencies "out on I AM WHAT I AM Recordings, Tyler will be performing a set of his all original blend of 90’s Seattle Grunge, late 60’s psychedelic rock & 2010’s indie-pop, like only he can do.

AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, YOU VOTE FOR WHAT FILM I OPEN FOR ONLINE!!!!!
That's right, for the first time ever, I am doing an online poll to choose between four super fun, cult classic films! The winning film will be kept secret & will be revealed at the show! I have a big list of films I want to open for, so I chose four of the funnest titles for my birthday show! I HIGHLY encourage you to look up these four films, watch the trailers below & make your choice(s!)

The film choices are as follows.....
ALLIGATOR (1980)
(One of the greatest creature feature films of all time! Want to see an alligator tail whip a limo? YUP. I got you covered!)
Synopsis - "A herpetologist (Robin Riker) helps a detective (Robert Forster) track her flushed-away pet, now a king-size mutant called Ramone."
Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_f3-h4tGFQ

STUDENT BODIES (1981)
(The GREATEST COMEDY HORROR FILM OF ALL TIME! Set on Halloween, Friday The 13th & Jamie Lee Curtis's Birthday! Sincerely, it's the BEST! This is funnest of these four picks!)
Synopsis - "A serial killer with his signature heavy breathing proceeds to systematically kill the students and teachers of Lamab high school."
Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr-ZycY2WkE

PIECES (1982)
(One of the funnest & silliest low budget slasher films of all time! Chainsaw, jigsaw body parts pandemonium!)
Synopsis - "A frustrated Boston detective searches for the maniac responsible for mutilating a number of university coeds. You don't have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre!"
Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNSykbBi4KQ

CREEPSHOW 2 (1987)
(This whole thing started in 2017 with me opening for "CREEPSHOW!" It only seems fitting to throw it's criminally underrated sequel in the mix! THANKS FOR THE RIDE, LADY!)
Synopsis - "Three macabre tales from the latest issue of a boy's favorite comic book, dealing with a vengeful wooden Native American, a monstrous blob in a lake, and an undying hitchhiker."
Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xem6527jVTM
