And The Winner Is...

yes, that's my balding scalp. shut up.

Hey, y'all. Here's the (main) reason i've been slacking on posting here. been rehearsing for my next play which opens next weekend. Info follows below. Call me or email if you want tix--i have a few cheap ones left ($15 if you buy directly from me as opposed to $22 at the door) and you can pick any night you want to go.

It looks like opening night (friday the 20th) is close to sold out, but we have seats available on that saturday and sunday afternoon.

And the Winner Is…

A regional premiere comedy by the author of Tuesday’s with Morrie
Written by Mitch Albom
Directed by Craig A. Bond

(Denver, CO) - Vintage Theatre opens Mitch Albom’s “And the Winner Is…” on Friday, February 20 and plays Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays at 2:30 p.m. through March 22, at Vintage Theatre, 2119 E 17th Ave in Denver. Tickets are $22 at the door, $17 in advance and available by calling 303-839-1361 or online at www.vintagetheatre.com. Industry Night is Tuesday, March 3 @ 7:30 p.m. and all tickets are $11

This is the story of Tyler Johnes, a self-obsessed movie star, who is finally nominated for an Oscar, then dies the night before the awards. Outraged at his bad luck and determined to know if he wins (even though he’s dead), he bargains with a heavenly gatekeeper to return to earth for the big night. Along the way, he drags his agent, his acting rival, his bombshell girlfriend and his ex-wife into the journey, in a wildly twisting tale of Hollywood and the afterlife.


The cast, under the direction of Craig A. Bond, includes Kurt Brighton (Tyler), David Harms (Kyle), Hannah Marie Hines (Serenity), Missy Moore (Sheri), Luke Terry (Teddy) and Andy Anderson as Seamus.

Mitch Albom's first contributions to the stage came when he co-authored the theatrical translation of his book "Tuesdays with Morrie" with noted playwright Jeffrey Hatcher. Actor Jeff Daniels came to see the play one night and asked Albom if he would consider penning an original work for Daniels' theater, The Purple Rose, in Chelsea, Michigan. Since then, Albom has written two more plays, both launched at the Purple Rose, that have seen numerous productions around the country.
