7 Redneck Cheerleaders returns!!!

Big News!!  Or maybe not so much big news considering the fact that I truly am a work-a-holic at heart.  It looks like I will be emerging from my “retirement” from the theatre.  I guess I should have originally called it a hiatus as that’s what it turned out to be.

And why have I decided to go back?  Well the main draw is that my theatre company is bringing back one of our highly successful (not to mention hilarious) shows ever, 7 Redneck Cheerleaders.  And I am reprising my original role of Shannon the Sassy Stage Manager.  There is one catch though, I’m only doing it part-time and I’m sharing duties with another just-as-sassy stage manager, Kimmy.

If you’re not familiar with 7RC it’s a raucous comedy about directing a play in Los Angeles…and trust me when I saw it’s pretty darn close to the truth.  OK, well maybe we did take a few liberties for that comedic effect but the end result is a wild and fun ride that will leave you cheering for more.  Sorry, I couldn’t resist that pun.

Somewhere in Hollywood, near Santa Monica Boulevard and Vine, lines between reality and fiction, art and life, are crossed again and again as a playwright directs his autobiographical play in a Hollywood 99-seat theatre. In 7 REDNECK CHEERLEADERS, watch what happens as actors play actors playing rednecks, and see who transforms the most. It's a little congregation of misfits ready to become someone else and tell the story of small-town boy who is willing to be a cheerleader for love.

In preparation for our upcoming show, a few members of my theatre company (and one or two non-members) gathered together on the 4^th of July to toast America, Redneck style.  We finally took the time to assemble a rather large inflatable pool that was purchased last summer (yeah, we’re a proactive bunch) and sat in the pool drinkin beer (“beer is soooo delicious!’) and eatin’ burgers and dogs.  The one-liners were firing off at a rapid pace and it was truly the most fun I’ve had on a 4^th in a reeeally long time.
