One Last Time

[thehefner]

In case anyone missed it the first, like, five times:

TARTUFFE! Friday and Saturday! My last college performance (not counting the scene from CLOSER that I'll be doing later).

Wait, you love this. So apparently, the professors' advice to Mike, the director, was that all of the acting from all of the actors had to be bigger, over-the-top, and melodramatic. And they meant everyone. Mike said, "Uh... you do realize..." And Dale said, "Yyyeah, I know. Maybe it's best if you don't tell him." Tonight, Mike said, "John, that was good, but you need to be even MORE melodramatic."

Dude. I've basically been given carte blanche.

To paraphrase Manute from SIN CITY- Shed a tear for the state of theatre if you must, for by now it is surely dead.

I'm hoping to be there. Do I need reservations?

Nope, it's in-house seating, so no reservations required. Awesome, hope to see you there!

Bwa-ha-ha-ha! That's great! Kinda like thar Friday when the audience just was NOT laughing and I told Brian and Patrick "Okay, the gloves come off."

Not many times in a career an actor gets to be told they need to be more over-the-top... enjoy it while you can. :-)

I'm going to see it tomorrow night. I don't know what your post-shows plans are, but a couple of us are hanging out here at PGA. Stop by and bring your guests if you want.
