Tonight’s Hang Ten gig had to be rescheduled, so I’m officially done gigging for 2025—unless you count the thee-a-tuh!

Making my stage-acting debut (discounting the “Meta Dada” release shows, of course!) a week from tonight with Evergreen Theater‘s production of “A Christmas Carol”.

This was really not my idea. My sweet daughter wanted to try out for it (likewise, never did anything like this other than the “Meta Dada” Soiree), and when I looked at the rehearsal schedule—2.5 hours, Monday-Thursday, for ~6 weeks—I unthinkingly blurted, “Gee, I might as well just try out for it, too.” Famous and foolish last words; there was no backing out of that.

We both wound up with parts, and all the practice and memorization’s about to play out on stage, for 6 performances at Cedar Creek of De Pere Event Center.

Definitely debated whether or not to spread word on this, but it’s got some great actors who deserve an audience, and it’s a well-scripted adaptation of a classic story. Consider this an extra-deep cut for you mythical Matty Day completists out there!

May Jacob Marley have mercy on my soul,
