We wrapped up the revue last week and I have a few random thoughts….

1-Once again, veterans Chris Nollet and Cheri Tesarek saved my bacon by appearing in a Rubber Chicken show.  Just like they did in “Bushed”, they helped the newbies with their strong characterizations and talent.  More than anyone else this year, Rubber Chicken owes Chris and Cheri a lot.

2-The folks who have never done a revue before were amazing.  Minden, Greg, Nate and Tony were funny and strong.  We all had our favorite backstage moments with these four.  Mine were Minden’s excited Max the Dog portrayal, Nate’s “Home School Musical” dancing, Tony’s emotional moment when Batman gave him a homemade frame, and watching Greg’s bravery onstage every night with some of his offbeat but wonderful sketches.  (And wearing a Renegade tshirt every night as the evil Joker?  Brilliant.)

3-Apparently, Paul Brissett was crabby he had to come out in the snow to see a show.  Sorry, Paul, but that’s no reason to go all “Dominic” on your review.  You don’t like the show?  Fine, that’s your perogative, of course.  But please leave out the personal attacks and mentions and just review the show.  Oh, and also?  It’s not your place to tell potential patrons that the ticket cost is too much and the drive is too far.  I would love to work WITH the Duluth News Tribune to combat that challenge, not against it.

On to the next project!
