Our own lovely and talented Rick St. Peter is the latest interviewee of the dumbshow podcast.
Check it out!
And , I'm going to steal an idea from our own Chuck Pogue who postedTHIS question on BO's yahoo site:
Actors, what five roles would you like to play?Explain why, if so moved. Only restriction: Try to keep desired roles roughly age appropriate...no 25 year old Lears; no fifty year old Juliets.So Directors/Designers can play along...which five plays would like to direct/design?Explain why, if so moved. Only restriction: no plays that you're about to do or that you've done in the past.If you do all of things things, answer all questions, if you like.
Thanks Chuck...the royalty check is in the mail...

Great interview Rick.
But FYI- coming up 65 to Louisville THEN hitting 64 is WAY out of the way to get to Lex. You go 65 to the BGP, which ya hit in E town, and straight to Lex. Cuts off a good hour!
...and why no DIVA CLONES plug, dammitt!?!?!?!
This is a good one, X. Mine will probably be mostly musicals because I'm a broadway geek.
1. Queenie in Wild Party
2. Ms. Lovett (someday) in Sweeney Todd
3. Sally Bowles in Caberet
4. Velma in Chicago (yeah, would need more dance lessons)
5. This last one would be a non-musical but I'll have to think about this one. Maybe Keely and Du? Maybe someday Tamora in Titus Andronicus?
Yeah, I like those dark ones.
Keely and DU - Great choice. You'd be good for that...
btw- Don't thank me- thank Chuck...I stole it from him fair and square!
My five...
KING PHILIP...from DON CARLOS by Schiller. Powerful, tragic part in a powerful play.
EDWARD DAMSON...from GIFT OF THE GORGON by Peter Shaffer. One of the best plays I've read in the last dozen years.
RICHARD III...one of the greatest parts by one of our greatest writers.
MANNINGHAM...from ANGEL STREET. Did it when I was 23 and was very good; I'll be even better now that I'm the right age.
THE PLAYER...from ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD. One of my favourite playwright; one of my favourite plays. I'm too old for the either of the leads and I don't want to learn all those lines. The player's the perfect flash part.
Hey chuck?
What's your email address?
If you don't wanna put it on the blog, send it to me at woundedeagle8@yahoo.com
1. Martha, Virginia Wolfe
-Drinkin' & cussin', cussin' &
dinkin'.
2. Vivian Bearing, Wit
-Smart, but so emotionally
true. I'd need a brain
transplant to learn it.
3. Hannah Pitt, Angels in America
-Plus, you get to be Ethel
Rosenberg.
4. Margaret Johnson, The Light in
the Piazza (would have to lip
sync)
-It's Italy, stupid.
5. Nurse Ratched, Cuckoo's Nest
-She's just so control freaky.
(re-posted due to ridiculous typo)
D$ grabbed two of my shows. Iago was an early favorite.
Something from Glengarry, though not necessarily Roma. When I am considerably older I would love to do Levine. For now, Williamson.
Sound design-wise, I would love to do some modern-music work on classic plays (Shakes, etc). As well as work with a theatre that had the capability for (and willingness to explore) very specific speaker placement/movement for custom sound effects. If I hear one more tinny-sounding cat screech out of a grid-mounted speaker during a Tenn. Williams play... ugh. (Once heard a bus horn blast FROM the booth in a production of "Bus Stop".)
In that vein, if someone is planning Titus Andronicus anytime soon, call me. But, be prepared to have Radiohead playing when Lavinia is discovered with missing parts.
Off-topic, but I have a letter published on the op-ed page of the Herald-Leader today!
Okay, here goes my list:
Benedick- MUCH ADO
Window is rapidly closing on this one for me...oh well...
Big Daddy Pollitt- Cat on a hot tin roof:
I'm probably a few years away from being able to pull this one off convincingly, but MAN I can't wait to play this some day...
Shelley "the MACHINE" Levine- OK, I'm still a bit young for this one, but it's Mamet as his finest, for my money. Honorable mention for Roma...
Father Welsh - LONESOME WEST- probably half a dozen McDonaugh roles I'd like to play, but this is my fave
Moon- MIDDLE AGE WHITE GUYS- I directed this show twice, ALWAYS wnated to play this character (possible the funniest show ever written, IMHO)
X, did you get my email address, okay?
Got it...
1) I'd kill to play Tupolski in McDonagh's "The Pillowman".
Next in no particular order.....
2) George in "Of Mice and Men"
3) Megs in "Strange Snow"
4) Iago
5) Alan Berg in "God's Country"
