OC Weekly Theater Awards

            Last night was the 9^th annual OC Weekly Theater Awards, held at the lovely Julianne Argyros Stage at South Coast Repertory. So what, you say? Well, friends and neighbors, I was there. It still seems strange to me, but it’s true. I was there to support the home team. Go, Hunger Artists!

            It was a pretty good night for our little company. “Assassins” won for Best Ensemble. God! I wish I had auditioned for that! Argh!

            Random Moments: I’m in the drink line (there was an open bar, what a bad idea!), when this attractive blonde walks over to me and gives me that “Acknowledge me” look. I was at a loss. Then she says, “You threw me over your shoulder and told me I needed a hystectomy?”  FLASH! “Holy Crap! Kristina Leach!”  Kristina & I were in Christopher Durang’s “The Nature & Purpose of the Universe” together about a million years ago at OCC. As I seem to recall, I also kicked her in the ass in that show. Ah, memories!

            Kristina won for best new play for her “The Medea Project” at The Hunger Artists. Small world, eh?

            I ran into Wendy Braun, who was in my first College Play, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” she was Becky Thatcher to my Injun Joe. The last time I saw her was at a very memorable Vampire game.

            Jeremy Gable won for Best Actor. I think. I was in the Bathroom when it happened; I just caught him walking off stage. Pisser! He’s a Hell of a human being. I hate him so much!!!

            There are more tid-bits, but my brain is dull today.

            Go Team!
