Excellent article about my play in Flagstaff Live! (ZW quotes!)

Unfortunately the online edition doesn't feature the pictures that the print edition does, in which I am in 2, dammit! :-)

Anyway, here is an excerpt:

The play thrives on a predominately young cast, which has turned out to be one of the strengths of the show. The kids in the play have done nothing but wow other members of the cast with their dedication.
“I’m impressed with the attention they give to the script, and the way they handle direction,” says Laurin Suiter, who plays the Old Man. “After long rehearsals we admire and envy their energy.”


and...

“The play manages to be sentimental without being sappy,” says Suiter, who was delighted at the prospect of playing the Old Man. He is characterized by his obsession to enter contests in hopes of eventually winning big. He does—and his “major award” turns out to be a sexy leg lamp, which Ralphie’s mother absolutely abhors. He also dreams of being able to change a flat tire in less than four minutes, and has a mouth that rivals that of a sailor.

1. Shit

May I have an autograph sir?

[Zomby Woof]

7. Yes

But only if you replace Derek Jeter's pic with mine in your sig line. Already, I am an asshole famous person!

[WindRavenX]

16. I'd have to put pinstripes on you

Somehow, I don't think that's kosher with you...but hey, if that's what you want... ;)

4. I think I only have 2 minutes of fame left!

Next step: rehab at Betty Ford. :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Cool!

So you get to swear a lot? Do you ever improvise, and just let 'er totally rip? That would be hilarious.

And continued congratulations to you on the play! It's fun to see you so excited about it, and about the publicity you are getting.

I'd love to hear a ZombyWoof four-minute wall of profanity.

6. G-rated swearing

But funny as hell, some scripted, some improvised.

"Summering bishop! Dingblang fuzzlewhizzin' songs of business! Goat dandruff! Cotton dampers!" I semi-mumble them, a la Walter Matthau in "Grumpy Old Men".

Thanks man! I share your hatred of lazy assholes who don't return their cart!

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Bummer. I'd still like to hear a wall of profanity from you.

I'm glad you hate the lazy bastards, too!

5. Wow Zomby - You're from my hometown!

Reading about your play made me all sentimental and stuff....

8. I am a newbie here

But have adopted it as my home. :-)

9. That's great.

The movie version of that is absolutely the only Christmas-themed thing I ever watch on TV. I was born a little later than that, but I distinctly remember my mother telling my brother she wouldn't buy him a BB gun because he'd 'put an eye out.' When I first saw it on television, I almost hurt myself laughing over that line.

We also were told not to run with scissors for the same reason. My mother was a veritable treasure chest of conventional wisdom.

11. it's certainly one of the few I can stand!

And my mom said the same thing - it IS universal. :-)

10. That's so great!

Congratulations! I would love to see a theater version of A Christmas Story :)

[Zomby Woof]

12. If you could, I would love to invite you!

:-)

[smbolisnch]
