The Neo-Futurists—masters of creating funny, personal, abstract, political, and poignant plays—return to Woolly with their ever-changing attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes with
TOO MUCH LIGHT MAKES THE BABY GO BLIND
…
The audience decides on the random order of those plays making every performance a unique experience not to be missed. I mean just read this WaPo review (ours is forthcoming): “LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS WITH THE TROUPE’S AUDACITY AND WIT. The cast members are intuitively topical, so they bring up current events fluently, puckishly and irreverently. They thrive on audience engagement. As the Neos say, if you’ve seen the show once, you’ve seen it once.” – Washington Post

I saw Too Much Light a couple times in Chicago and they are SO AWESOME!!!!!!! I would love to go!!!
Film actor gone thespian would have to be Kathleen Turner. Although she technically began her career doing some off-Broadway stuff, I would say her recent return to the stage puts her in this category.
Reasons she awesome:
-She is a babe
-She played Chandler’s dad on Friends
-She grew up in Washington, DC
-She has been in movies with Steve Martin, who is also a babe
-Romancing the Stone was my go-to movie as a kid on days I faked the flu
-AND she is the Chair of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Board of Advocates
Eat your heart out Kelsey Grammer.
James Gandolfini! He was amazing in film, TV and stage (God of Carnage on Broadway). I desperately crave audacity and wit – pick me!
Christina Applegate — hands down. Not only did she NOT absolutely suck when she did Sweet Charity on Broadway (like people thought she would), but she got a Tony nom. Plus she broke her foot as the musical toured on it’s way to NYC, and still kept trucking.
Also she was Veronica Corningstone in Anchorman. C’mon, how could you not love her with priceless likes: “God no, it smells like, like a used diaper… filled with… Indian food…” Cracks me up every time.
Oprah Winfrey … she’s a thespian isn’t she?
Since there aren’t many answers thus far I really didn’t want to do a repeat favorite, but I will anyway because she’s pretty rad: Kathleen Turner.
