It doesn’t have to be current, but hey – everyone’s got a story and the F.W. Thomas Performances would like you to share it. In their own words:
In addition to our ALL-STAR lineup of presenters, we’re opening the podium up to that most dreaded of all show-biz tropes: AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION.
To wit: We are looking for BREAKUP STORIES, EMBARRASSING LOVE LETTERS (THOSE RECEIVED and THOSE WRITTEN AND MERCIFULLY UNSENT) and OTHER ASSORTED TALES of ROMANTIC WOE. Possbily including:
* Transcripts of Instant Messenger dumpings
* Excerpts from restraining orders taken out by celebrity crushes and delivered via process server
* Primary school Valentine’s cards woefully misinterpreted by youThe audience participation portion of the evening will be modeled after a poetry slam. As is the case in a poetry slam, performers will be expected to be dynamic and brief.
Unlike a poetry slam, you will be expected to be funny and interesting.
They had me even before they took a swipe at poetry slams, but that clinched it. Don’t be a wuss, brave the light snow Wintry Doom of Death and get thee just north of the Verizon Center and see the show. Seriously: $5. How wrong could it go?

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
