Theater of War
Editor’s Note – This was originally published in September 2008.
If I ever go to war, I know exactly who I want in my fox hole.
Michael Crawford.
That’s right, the legendary actor who thrilled audiences and blitzkrieged Broadway with his iconic turn as the Phantom of the Opera. Granted, I’ve never seen the show and the last Playbill I paged through was for The Backyardigans: Tales of the Mighty Knights – ON ICE!!!, but if there is one thing I’ve learned from my recent experience on stage, it’s those actors can really kick some ass.
As you all know and thus far have chosen to ignore (based solely on the middling response to my recent e-mail announcement of ticket availability), I am making my long-awaited return center stage in ... Continue reading »
Behind the Curtain: The Completely Unauthorized, Mostly 100% True, Shocking Expose of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’

Looks like the Acting Bug is working its way around my household. Fresh on the heels of Andi’s star-making turn in The Sound of Music, I have picked up the call sheet and found my name etched on the cast of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Cuckoo’s Nest is being directed by Dave Corkum, who played the role of Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music. Once again, this production is being staged by the local community theater group, the Gateway Players, who have ... Continue reading »
