MOMMIE QUEEREST Award Winning Comedy At Empire Stage
by Beau Higgins - July 26, 2011
For the last seven years Jamie Morris' twisted version, MOMMIE QUEEREST, has had sold-out audiences across the country rethinking the oft-quoted tale with the simple premise, 'What if Joan had really been a man all those years?' Told by an all male cast of four, MOMMIE QUEEREST entertains the notion that Crawford was actually a man in drag, a fact she hid from her fans, her children, and the world. Even when Christina finds out, takes revenge, and writes 'Daddy Dearest' it's Joan who still has the last laugh.

SATCHMO AT THE WALDORF - The Real Louis Armstrong - World Premiere
by Beau Higgins - July 22, 2011
On September 15, Louis Armstrong comes back to life at the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre where Dennis Neal stars in the world premiere of Terry Teachout's Satchmo at the Waldorf, a one-man play about the most beloved jazzman of all time. Set at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong performed in public for the last time before his death in 1971, Satchmo at the Waldorf is a theatrical tour de force, a play in which the same actor portrays Armstrong and Joe Glaser, the trumpeter's controversial manager. Inspired by their actual words, the play takes a searching look at the complex relationship between the genius from New Orleans who turned jazz into a swinging art form and the hard-nosed, tough-talking ex-gangster from Chicago who made him an international icon.
