Mystery Festival

I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of my work performed live onstage, but I've never seen anything quite like this. First of all, Slip is a screenplay, which is of course meant for film, not live theatre. But this very unique performance was done in old-style radio format. The actors were onstage performing their parts, but they stood next to each other in front of microphones. With the help of a sound effects team, they put on an amazing performance that I will never forget. The director and some of the performers are from a well known comedy troupe that's been around since the sixties called Firesign Theatre. I was lucky enough to have David Ossman, who was the voice of Cornelius the Ant in A Bug's Life, direct my play, and to have Phil Proctor act in it. Phil was the Drunken French Monkey in Eddie Murphy's Doctor Doolittle and also did voices in Toy Story and Monster Inc. The cast also included many fine actors (and great people too) from the Owensboro area including John Page, Jennifer Elder, Todd Reynolds, and Jouhanna Vasquez.
