Broadway Actors at $8 per Show!
Fall is
approaching and that means once again, for me, a community theatre
production. I've directed and/or acted in a fall play for the past few
years. If I direct I usually take a very small acting part, only if
absolutely needed to fill out the cast. I choose plays because they're
funny, not as some sort of ego trip.
This year, however, that's all changed: I have
assigned myself a central part in a one-act play. Preparing for this
and being president of Salem's Rotary Club for 2007-2008 has taken up
some time and I just haven't had much motivation to update this site
much lately. I've had a few half-baked ideas for entries over the past
couple months, but haven't felt like putting them through the creative
fires of the xanga oven. It's best not to serve them partially cooked
lest someone get e-coli poisoning (Like "e. coli" but
transmitted/digested via internet).
So
if anyone (or no one)
wants to see Stupidocles's alter ego on the stage, I am to play the
part of Rodney/Holmes in a Sherlock Homes parody called "Hidden
Meanings" on September 28-30 and October 5-7 at the Salem Community
Theatre (7:30 Fri and Sat, 3:00 Sun). Another very different one-act
play will be paired with it: a comedic melodrama set in mountain
country with a handlebar-mustachioed villain, a damsel in distress, and
a noble hero. I'm not in that one (which might make it better), but both
plays should be a lot of fun... and as stated above, you have the rare opportunity to see Broadway actors perform for a mere $8 for the two plays together!
