Text of the page (random words):
ay found a home in hospitals and church basements even sanctuaries presenting it as entertainment in a theater for the first time in years i was expecting a similar reaction and i expected a crowd but young people do not care and old people cannot take it i generalize i hope you take my meaning where do i go from here i do not know i may be done it has been ten years i have wanted a run of this show a public cleveland professional run and for my efforts i got one previously i had performed i hate this a total of 36 times with at most five performances in the same space now i have added eleven more all at the storefront it was animated swift lively an education i could repackage this and resume my trek across the country visiting clinics and parish halls i don t know it s a good show it s a good story and it has its place as a cautionary tale as a promise of recovery of healing of reconstruction of rebirth of the possibility of change right now i am tired and sore and i want to concentrate on newer works it s time for rest and reflection happy easter posted by pengo at 10 12 am 3 comments wednesday april 20 2011 homily reverend james r mcgonegal used each of my plays as the basis for his palm sunday homily at st ignatius of antioch i called him on monday to ask what the dillio he explained that much like i hate this the events of palm sunday begin in expectation and exultation and end tragically with the passion well he saw right through me i have explained before how the structure my play was a puzzle for me to figure out how i could explain moments that happened weeks and months following the birth of my first son and yet end with the birth of my first son i am holding my child like a new pieta the title of a drawing i found in a book on bereavement for fathers or holding nothing at all depending on how you look at it but the good reverend also remarked on and then you die using it as a metaphor for how we sometimes run from our pain suffering and responsibilities in our phone conversation he hesitated for a moment and asked if he d gotten that right i said he nailed it three more shows schmoes posted by pengo at 10 55 am no comments labels st ignatius of antioch church tuesday april 19 2011 life is but a dream so i went to see the kids in the hall last night that s my little joke i have been sharing the make up room with the cast of fever dream which is playing the gordon square i work with these people or have done or i just met them most are well younger than i am except for the two really old guys an adaptation of calderon s life is a dream it s a contemporary office comedy where the heir in the dungeon is the heir in the basement taking over for the king corporate president in a series of nutty vignettes honestly the story itself doesn t amount to much except it provided the opportunity for some of my favorite people to create remarkable characters that i was delighted to be in the same room with for two hours nathan was just dynamite as a young turk who doesn t have much turk in him my beloved annie was outrageous and sympathetic in a role my wife tells me is quite the tedious stock clown character in calderon s original faye presented some of the best work i have ever seen her do what most excited me was the supporting characters the kids who play slacker characters whose lives appear to have dead ends except for all of the awesome choreography director beth and her crew put into the segues between scenes you know i hate half assed choreography to mask scene changes it s fucking awful because it usually is awful an after thought to make a set change entertaining not here this show is a big awesome dance party i was glad to be witness to point one to the hipsters posted by pengo at 9 56 am 2 comments labels cleveland public theatre fever dream dig it that person from my youth takes credit for my achievements thorugh the arrogant statement i told you you could well four years ago jeremy paul asked me to lunch to ask how to start a theater company everything i recommended he do he has done and now he is the hottest shit in cleveland get your own space create your own material be a happening that s it in a nutshell no i am not seriously taking credit for his achievement but yes well look at it that s exactly what i am doing i thought inoculations was good the excavation is well it is hard to hurdle the bar set by nick koesters the major difference is this production is truly interactive a choose your own adventure kind of ordeal and while it is meaningful it is mostly hilarious if you have the opportunity to witness the sexually tense clown show that is the duo of renee schilling and lew wallace run do not walk to that entrance hey you know what they need to play nick and honey in someone s production of virgina woolf can i ask what is up with hipsters and fucking terrible beer and don t tell me it s money last week it was pbr today t s busch tomorrow what a tasty schaeff speaking of tragic hipsters at the fever dream after party this dude in funky hair skinny 80s tie and big blocky glasses made a grand gesture to jeremy intoning cleveland theatre today and then gestured to me and here we have yes all right fuck you posted by pengo at 9 44 am no comments labels the excavation theater ninjas three gents i have to look at this picture a lot there s lots of plays going on excuse me for whining about lackluster ticket sales i always do that it comes with performing plays about stillbirth i had a co worker tell me to my face i can t see your show i said i understand we re all busy she emphasized no i can t see it a number of the shows which opened with mine are closing at the same time last week i caught a matinee of the two gentlemen of verona it s not regarded as one of shakespeare s greater works but the production at great lakes this month has been something to see the last time the only time i have ever seen it was at school it was not a well produced production the costumes looked like the designer said hey i ve got an idea let s go through the stock and choose the outfit that best represents your character honestly i think that was the design matt glave he of the wedding singer and baby s day out played proteus that s about all i remember about the production matthew glave at gltf that part is legendary because it s the one that we like to remind everyone started tom hanks career he won an award from the local critics for the performance i have no doubt it was a memorable performance there was a scheduling conflict with the man playing proteus this season and as a result my boyfriend eric perusek was in the right place and right time to be assigned the role for three matinees in the middle of the run i caught it last week if i didn t know him or that he was an understudy i wouldn t have been able to tell he walked in so seamlessly it s a lovely rendition of a slight story proteus loves julia his friend valentine meets silvia falls for silvia proteus meets silvia becomes obsessed with silvia conspires to ruin valentine so he can have her and in the end he realizes he s been an idiot julia takes him back everyone is happy what oh nothing all right carry on eric perusek as proteus feel the burn this production was bolsetered by what it did not do which was try to explain away proteus s actions he is smitten stupidly so and gets over it eric did that very well and for the high school audience i watched it with one pop in the nose from valentine was all it took to snap proteus out of it and also send shockwaves of reaction through a very tense and worried crowd of teenagers then there s the singing and the music it s a big heartsick lovesong this production i was very happy with it it made me happy sounds like i am dissing mr glave doesn t it that s wrong i am not it was shakespeare s script and an uninteresting production concept before he left o u i entirely fell in love with mr glave as betty gerry and the entire company of cloud 9 glave seated on the floor posted by pengo at 9 23 am no comments labels cloud 9 eric perusek great lakes theater festival the two gentlemen of verona tom hanks monday april 18 2011 crumbling this morning a man in a coffee shop said something very positive to me he seemed like a positive guy i got in my car with my cup of coffee placed in the cup holder sat back and a large muscle in my back flared up i wasn t doing anything i wasn t reaching or flexing i just had a thought and my back seized up i must be under a lot of stress maybe weeping uncontrollably in the car last night for ten solid minutes had something to do with it i haven t had a stress induced back spasm in years i also have not cried like that in some time it has been a challenging weekend you know strange of strange it felt like the closing weekend to me like things had come to an end i have been disappointed with turnout i take this too personally there are a lot of shows going on right now but they aren t this show i wrote this i lived this and i never thought i would perform i hate this ever again and i am very happy that i am the text is legend to me my old story made new by sound and light and space i feel so un alone in it it s not just me and kelly anymore it s josh and christopher and the house management people and even the cast across the hall the running play is fractured less labored more prismic it is also something to see i do not believe i will have the opportunity to perform these shows ever again i have three more performances i have enjoyed ever single one that s not true performing before my peers last monday was a little intimidating and mean to enjoy the hell out the final three i feel like bits of my life have been thrown up into the air at work at home in my personal life this weekend someone came to the show i did not want to see someone i was hoping never to see again i did not know who they were during the performance and thank god for that they stayed after to say hi and to ask why i had blocked them on facebook honestly people who are so arrogantly clueless need to fucking die i hurt someone once i didn t realize it at the time people can be ignorant in that way but that s the point i thought about them as though they were just another chapter in my life to be shelved forever until the internet made it possible to unlock our past and walk right through and this was in 1999 i fecklessly used a search engine and found their email address i wrote her hi how are you she responded how wonderful my father had a stroke last week my boyfriend wrapped his car around a tree and now i hear from you i had the opportunity to learn something a long time ago if you live a normal life there are people who will hate you and there is nothing you can do about that live with it i hate myself for being so goddamn polite to this unwanted audience member i don t usually care about the personal stuff i throw up onstage that s what i do but this interloper knew these people i love from my life who i speak about knowing that they were sitting there secretly listening laughing knowingly at these memories i feel violated i have never felt like that before performing my work are you reading this here you go you hurt my brother and then he left me you messed with my head you say you always knew i had it in me that you told me when i was i kid that i would accomplish great things well from where i am sitting i would have conquered the world if it hadn t been for fucked up people like you don t contact me stop trying to friend me don t follow my tweets do not respond to this post stop reading my blogs do not communicate with me if you have any respect for me leave me and my family alone as renee would say moving on speaking of family my folks were the audience yesterday that was awesome i do not believe my mother has ever seen i hate this during big box back in 2003 she was there in the theater but she didn t watch she sat behind the seating unit with my infant girl so my wife could watch and because as she related because she couldn t not because she felt i was unfair to her but because she didn t like to see me relive such pain it was great fun to hear them and the party they came with explode with laughter when i call him fat i had to stop and say what good timing kelly kept an eye on mom she says she laughed every time i dropped and f bomb the audiences have been wonderful to me i have been working to sense where they come from to watch these two shows i can spot fellow travelers pretty easily there are key moments during the performance where i will watch a man put his hand on the hand of the woman he is with and i know and then there are the runners who love all the running minutiae and then there are the american greetings employees they are a special segment of the audience on saturday night i was joined by friends i wouldn t even know if it weren t for the loss of our children we went to xyz afterwards and indulged in war stories it s been so long since i have felt liberated enough to do that nothing changes couldn t talk about it then can t talk about it now it was a welcome release okay so i have been emotional for obvious reasons a little to close to the skin this weekend then i get home and find this message from michael heaton entitled jim mcgonagle pastor at st ignatius of antioch so i m a rock star most people would be overjoyed i collapsed on the couch and whimpered for a little longer posted by pengo at 10 58 am no comments monday april 11 2011 theater professionals night 7 11 pm a few years ago cleveland joined the ranks of those theater communities that provide monday night performances for the benefit of those actors who are busy every other night of the week monday is actors equity day off it s also a good way of adding a cheap night to the run tickets tonight are only 10 pre sale for this evening s performance exceeded the attendance of any single show i have had so far that s a good thing i expect co workers cast members from fever dream and from two gents i already hear tim out there that by itself is a good sign 7 22 pm good lord it s like the gltf actor teacher retirement home out there 8 42 pm oh my god an audience of my peers scares the hell out of me what is up with that 11 08 pm sitting in the parking lot of cpt going out after a show on monday night probably not a good idea especially if i have to sub for one of our actor teachers tomorrow couldn t help it i had friends in from out of town for this one and so many others good times at xyz lauren had so many questions about the show she needed cleared up it probably sounded like i was performing a third show there at the table thanks for coming
