Francis "Faceboy" Hall is an actor, producer, and activist working in the New York City arts community. Hall, the younger brother of poet John S. Hall, is one of the founding members of the Art Stars. Hall has appeared in numerous stage productions and several films, including Robert Downey Sr.'s ''Too Much Sun'' and the television series 'Electra Elf'. In addition, Hall was a founding member of the Dance Liberation Front where he has worked to overturn New York City's "no dancing" cabaret laws. A poet and performer himself, Faceboy is best known as the host of the weekly Faceboyz Open Mic, which is now considered to be the longest continually running open mic in New York.〔http://gothamist.com/2007/07/13/francis_faceboy.php〕〔http://www.downtownexpress.com/de_232/anopenmic.html〕 He hosted 'Faceboyz Folliez', a monthly show that took place at the Bowery Poetry Club.〔http://eastvillagernews.com/?p=1670〕
==Career==
'Faceboyz Open Mic' was an open mike show held Sundays at Surf Reality〔http://www.surfreality.com/category/faceboyz-open-mike/〕 on the Lower East Side,〔http://www.villagevoice.com/bestof/2001/award/best-open-mic-monopoly-494546/〕 which was described as "one of the city’s most nurturing, freak-friendly weekly happenings."〔http://www.thevillager.com/villager_424/theydidit.html "They did it in a minute Surf Reality lives, again, on the Bowery"], Scott Stifler, ''The Villager''.〕
Regarding Faceboy's performances, The New York Times wrote:
"Faceboy himself did a dramatic reading of personal ads taken from
a pornographic magazine. It was, like much of that evening's six hours, unprintable. And very funny."
Ten years later in a full page article in Time Out New York he was described as a performer who, "has persevered through the neighborhood’s gentrification with an almost religious devotion to the art of the open mike."
