Highlights of the night included a wonderful monologue from Search for Signs... performed by Julie Fulcher (love!), a very moving dance piece, "Crushed," performed by Melanie Cash, as well as great musical numbers performed by the likes of Katrinah Lewis, Debra Wagoner, BC Maupin, Chris Hester (who performed about 10 songs), and more.... three acclaimed Richmond theatre men dressed as penguins performed "Heart." Don't know what else to say about that particular performance. There were also skits and standup comedy sketches, and the host of the evening, Kim Jones Clark, was really adorable. Don't know her at all, but she seems like a very nice woman!
One of Annie's personal favorites of the night was "Repent," performed by Jackie Jones. Oh my gosh, what an entertaining performer! She really does a wonderful job of connecting with the audience- they ate her up! So yes, it was a really fun, enjoyable evening, and we're happy we went. Plus, talk about giving money to a worthwhile organization!
On a side note, Annie kept thinking that Chris Hester looked familiar. Yes, she had seen him in the reading of Dead Man's Cell Phone, but she knew he had been in something else in Richmond (Weird, right? Seeing the same person in more than one show here?). Then she saw his tattoo! And realized she was watching Jesus! Yes, the Jesus Christ... from Reefer Madness at the Firehouse Theatre. Who would think that we'd ever utter the words, "Once we saw his shoulder-blade tattoo, we KNEW it was Jesus!" Such are the joys of theatre.
More to come. MUCH more to come..... muwaahahahahahhh, muwaahahahahaAHHH, MUWAHHAHAHAHAHHH!!!!
Come on, it's close to Halloween. Indulge us...
Although...we're so awkward at ending posts that we would use the evil laugh closer in the middle of April if need be.
