I have some very exciting news for all of you. Some of you already know so just bear with me but...

I'VE BEEN CAST IN EVIL DEAD!

Yup. Newnan Theatre Company is performing Evil Dead The Musical this October. I knew I was going to choreograph for it. I went into auditions not expecting much, but I'm cast as Scott! Woo!

For those of you who are not familiar, the musical is based off of Sam Raimi's original horror trilogy. It combines the plots of both The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II with lines and references sprinkled in from Army of Darkness. Ya know, for shiggles. It's a typical story. Five stupid bitches college students drive to a secluded cabin in the woods, and they get picked off one by one by a demonic force. Scott is one of the aforementioned college students. He's a party animal/horndog. He's over-the-top in an absurd way, the exact opposite of my usually introverted self. So that'll be fun to play!

The musical is littered with gags, gore, and great musical numbers such as "Cabin in the Woods" and "All the Men In My Life Keep Getting Killed By Candarian Demons". We're even gonna have a splatter zone reserved for the first couple of rows, but don't worry. There will be a disclaimer like you're riding Splash Mountain. You may get wet.

As I said before I'm super excited for this opportunity. I've loved the movies since I was a teenager. (Somehow my parents were okay with me watching gore-drenched flicks back then. Thanks, Mom and Dad!) (Also Bruce Campbell is pretty much THE MAN. Or THE CHIN.) I found out about the musical in 2010 when a local Orlando theatre performed it. Thanks to a certain nighttime parade we do not mention, I was unable to audition OR attend. But that is not the case anymore! We've assembled a great cast, music rehearsals have started, and basically it's gonna be AWESOME!

So if you love musicals, come see it! If you love cheeseball horror movies, come see it! If you wanna watch me play an over-the-top asshole, come see it! If you wanna see some amazing choreography, come see it! If you have to call in three days in a row for that one point (WORTH IT!), come see it! I could go on and on. The performances are here in Newnan on October 19-22 annd 26-29. Don't worry. I'll be pestering all of you to...

P.S. Hey, Tony! If you're reading this, we better get a Michigan State shirt for someone to wear. Only Michigan State kids are stupid enough to visit a secluded cabin in the woods. Am I right, Minish? Okay. Now I'm done.
