I would suggest you look at Jeff Daniels' "Escanaba in da Moonlight". It's about a family of men in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and deer camp. Definately not like many other shows. If you saw Dumb and Dumber and laughed at the toilet scene, you will find this show ammusing. If you are offended by belching, farting, drinking, aliens, mythical creatures, God and disfunctional families you may want to pass.

What about Faith County. It is hilarious. Also a great comedy is one we want to do soon Lover's Leap also Let's Murder Marsha. We did Faith County and it was a good show. Full length and not in a living room---out doors at a fair ground. Silly characters but oh so fun.

A lot of REALLY great plays here... I've been lookin' thru 'em... I gave the production staff 3 choices... The Foreigner.. been about 10 years since it was done out here.. Picasso... I'm too big of a steve martin fan. :) And the one I've always wanted to do.. 1984. Not a comedy... but I think it would really draw a crowd with our current political climate... So it's in their hands now....
They wern't really as modern as I'd like.. but i feel that the 3 range from very safe, to very risky.. and for my 1st show, they can choose how much faith they want to have in me. :) I'm allready reading scripts for the next years show... and I just have to give a shout out to Faith County.. LOVE that show.. it was done very recently here though... and I was in it :) Edited by RaYhoLiO - 7/19/10 at 1:03am |
