Filthy Pig!
This just in from Playhouse on the Square's P.R. goddess Courtney Oliver:
For one night and one night only Playhouse on the Square's current crop of interns will present a dirty, raunchy, nasty, vile, sinful, and probably quite funny variaton on E.B.White's decidedly unraunchy children's classic Charlotte's Web.
When: Saturday, May 10th ay 11:30 pm
Where: Playhouse on the Square's Memphian Room.
Why: Because it's wrong.
How Much: Free, but donations are encouraged.

Look, a promo picture from Little Women at GCT. It's a couple of little women. How ironic?
Why do I fear this show more than any other thing produced in Memphis this year?
It could be really good. Couldn't it?
But the thought of sitting through Little Women somehow threatens my inner Dude in a way that Pride in Prejudice just didn't.
UPDATE: It must be pretty good, Germantown is adding extra shows!
A brief review of Spunk
Right here.
UPDATE: Weird. The web version has an error that didn't appear in the print version. George Wolfe is identified as George Wright. The original version mentioned criticisms leveled at Zora Hurston by author Richard Wright. The section on Wright was cut but Wright's last name lingered on.
Happy Sad News
Brian Mott, a favorite among local actors and directors, has finished his student teaching at the U of M and is returning to NYC.
Mott, a native of Covington, LA graduated from Rhodes College in 1987. For years he was the driving personality behind The Losers' Awards, a mean-spirited (and much-missed) anti-awards ceremony that took place at the P&H Cafe after the Memphis Theatre Awards.
I'd say "He'll be missed." But Brian, who has left us many times before, can't stay away from Memphis for too long. He'll be back. To visit, anyway.
Brian does Crumpet
