jeff daniels is a weirdo
funny, i intended to buy tickets today for a play at jeff daniel's playhouse in chelsea, michigan. neither vince, nor ellen, nor i have been there yet.
take one guess who, this afternoon, walked right into the station to do an interview about his new cd whose proceeds go to raise money for his chelsea, michigan-based theatre...? yes, dear reader, serendipity is crazy.
while i had him (jeff himself) sort of captive (i was taking pictures of him for wdet's website), i mentioned that i was really looking forward to picking up some tickets for irma vep.
in short - and from the purple rose website:
"
The Mystery of Irma Vep, directed by Anthony Caselli, is a campy tribute to Gothic horror films, stealing liberally from well-known film classics and literary masters alike. Two actors play all of the play's eight characters, racing through a literal quick-change marathon complete with werewolves, vampires, and damsels in distress. Combine all that with crazy plot twists (two characters travel from England to Egypt to inspect a mummy), and The Mystery of Irma Vep guarantees fun for everyone!
"
so i toss my irma-related comment (read 2 paragraphs above) over my shoulder to jeff as i leave him to his interview with celeste. he responds: "See it on one of the nights. I mean, the understudies are great, too, but the two actors //...editor's note: stacy, insert actors' names here when you locate them, b/c you can't remember what jeff said and the guys' names are no place you can find on the purple rose website. tsk...// do such a great job. i saw Irma three time -- I usually see everything once, but it's so hilarious, I've seen it more. You'll love it. Really, be sure to go on one of the nights."
huh.
so real. he's a super tall version of... well, your next door neighbor. (the cool next door neighbor, not the jackass who yells and swears at his kids loud enough for you to hear him through saturday morning sleep-ins...like he has no idea he's the one single-handedly stunting their maturity.)
but what a weirdo eh? (i'm talking about jeff the cool guy neighbor type, not the jackass.)
i hear he even takes his family across nation in an r.v. when he's got to be on location. again, i mean jeff.
and here i was thinking that even semirockstar actors are not allowed to do shit that cool. isn't that what you're thinking, too? it's, like, against rockstar credo or something.
well, looks like ol jeff daniels is giving rockstardom a bad bad name.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!
and so, dear reader, after wednesday night's performance i'll be able to let you know about the actors' names--and i'll even tell you my impression of how rockstardom births and breeds community theatre in a little town in the great lake state....
till then, let's all break a leg.
