Just read your Gram and get on with a

He May Be Dead, But He's Comin' Back to
Epcot |
Michael
Jackson
and the
classic 3-D film experience CAPTAIN
EO is returning to Epcot; the park
which first premiered the 17-minute
musical space-fantasy adventure film,
said to be the most expensive
film-per-minute ever produced.
CAPTAIN EO
is
scheduled to begin screenings at Epcot
on July 2 of this summer, just
months after it reopened to rave reviews
at Disneyland in California.
The film
enjoyed its world premiere at Epcot in
1986, running continuously through 1994.
CAPTION E0 replaced MAGIC
JOURNEYS, which was the
very first film presented in the Magic
Eye Theater at the Imagination Pavilion
at Epcot. EO was subsequently replaced
by the most recent offering -
HONEY, I SHRUNK THE AUDIENCE.
The film,
which was created for Disney by
George
Lucas,
features Michael Jackson as "Captain EO,"
along with a crew of Disney-created
space characters. Speaking of this band
of characters, the Mouse's official spin
is that, "During their journey, the
group uses the power of dance, light,
and music to turn a colorless planet
into a world of color and
happiness." Isn't that sweet? However,
how ever colorful the experience may
have been, the attraction was abruptly
shuttered when accusations of Jackson's
alleged sexual abuse of young boys hit a
fever pitch. Apparently now that's he's
dead, there's no concern of future
allegations; so Jackson is once again
welcome at Epcot.
Angelica Houston also appears in
this film looking very much like a
young Rusti Faucet of Parliament
House drag show fame.
CAPTAIN EO will also be returning to
Disneyland Paris on June 12, and to
Tokyo Disneyland on July 1.
Here in
Florida, for those of you who would like
one last opportunity to experience
HONEY, I SHRUNK THE AUDIENCE, too
bad. That show had its swan song on May
10th, sans any fanfare. The
HONEY of a film is no more. The 3-D
theater in the Imagination Pavilion is
now undergoing renovations to make way
for the return of the intrepid Captain
EO, who can no longer harm our children
in any way.
Rumor has
it the pre-show will include a replica
of a certain thirty thousand dollar gold
casket, and a taxidermy monkey named
Bubbles.
Meanwhile,
over at the competition, things are
supposedly on schedule for a
now-being-heavily-advertised June 18th
official opening day of The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

The Rick & Jen Homestead Fund |
|
Thanks to the following individuals who
utilized the WANZIE.com Box Office
option to donate funds to help Jen and
Rick set up housekeeping after their
rental home, along with most of their
belongings, was destroyed during a
recent thunder storm:
Newman Gentry
Rebecca Fisher
Gary & Val Bungart
David Goodermote
KarenAnn Bunce
and
Bill Woods
The combined online contributions from
these thoughtful subscribers totaled
$240.00. Also, Rich Charron absorbed the
pay pal transaction fees and the credit
card processing fees so that 100% of the
monies collected will go to Jen and
Rick. This $240 will be added to the
funds already raised at SIP.
We would like to share with you the
following note received from Rick
Clagett:
"Both Jen and
I want to extend a very appreciative
thank you to your subscribers for
their kind thoughts and generous
donations. I have always loved this
city, and choose to live here
because of the community and family
we are able to surround ourselves
with. This has never been more
apparent to me than in the past week
and a half. I am pleased to report
that with donations of checks, cash,
and gift cards we raised just over
$2,700 at the fundraiser at Sip. It
is a strange and humbling feeling to
need help from so many people, but
highly uplifting to see that so many
people care. We are truly grateful."

Get Ready to Get Your Fringe On! |

The Orlando International Fringe Festival
gets underway this coming Thursday evening,
May 20, at Orlando's Loch Haven Park.
Tickets are now on Sale for all shows.
For a complete schedule of shows, brief show
synopses, and to purchase advance tickets,
log on to:
www.OrlandoFringe.org
We at the WANZeGRAM are pleased to spotlight
these two Fringe offerings by WANZeGRAM
subscribers:
THE
DREAM EXPRESS
The legendary outlaw lounge act is back in
O-Town! New songs! New stories! New tattoos!
More wisdom! More noise!
 Journey
to the end of the night on THE DREAM
EXPRESS, performed by Fringe
favorites Rebecca Fisher and Joe
Swanberg, written by Len Jenkin,
directed by David Lee.
This profane and uplifting late night booze
fueled cabaret comes direct from the High
Hat Lounge, Pee Wee's Do Drop Inn, Pepper's
Town and Country, and The Royal Flush Travel
Lodge. This new and improved version of
The Dream Express has been brought back
to life 15 years after Per4mAnts
Fisher and Swanberg performed it at the 1995
Fringe in downtown Orlando. The Per4mAnts
brought alternative theatre to Orlando from
1990-1995, performing in The Big Bang
night club, various downtown fringe venues,
and what is now the Orlando Rep. Founding
members Lee, Fisher, and Swanberg are
reuniting as the Ants to bring you this
re-mounted, re-vamped version of The Dream
Express.
Of a previous incarnation of The Dream
Express, a certain critic had this
to say:
"The setting is a
small-town motel lounge half lighted,
drugged, surreal. On stage are Spin Milton
and his ex-wife Marlene, two hard-driving
hipsters here to steer you through the
night. Orlando-based Per4mAnts create an
inspired pair of drugged-out, half-dozing
musicians, worn down by years of the road,
but still one step ahead of everyone else.
Fisher makes a breathy, voluptuously tacky
Marlene, with a knowing tinge to her
countrified voice, and Swanberg's Spin is as
smooth as whiskey. When they perform their
songs -- a hilariously mixed bag of such
junk as 'Let's Get Physical' -- Fisher is
all-knowing, and Swanberg's growled asides
are pure comic evil."
- Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando Sentinel
review.

HELL FREEZES OVER
 Mo'
Laughs Comedy returns to the Orlando Fringe
Festival with a new
show called HELL FREEZES OVER.
This stand alone show is a follow= up to
the 2009 Fringe Hit, Welcome to Hell.
The show will run for seven performances
starting May 21st at 11:55 PM
through the end of the Fringe Festival on
May 30th.
In Hell Freezes Over, the audience
plays the part of the residents of Hell who
have gathered for the annual tenants
meeting. Satan, played by Jeff Jones,
has stepped out of Hell for a cross country
"soul scouting" mission. Elizabeth Murff,
as Satan's assistant, is covering for him in
his absence...but things have noticeably
gone afoul. The residents are running
rampant, and an IRS auditor, played by
Kevin Bee, is on his way in for an
inspection audit. To make matters even
worse, Satan's mother is coming in for an
unexpected visit. The cast is rounded out by
Doug Ba'aser, who portrays a wide
variety of the notorious residents of Hell.
When the battle of man vs. evil vs. mother
begins, all Hell will break loose. The show
is written by Jeff Jones, and is directed by
sixteen time Fringe Festival veteran
Michael Marinaccio. The show is
sponsored by Funky Monkey Wine Company.

WANZIE at Kids Fringe? |
|
It's true!
Our own Michael Wanzie was tapped to write
the dialogue for a Kids Fringe show entitled
The FUNKsters.
The show is being developed and costumed by
Doug White and Richard Kuntz
of D-Squared productions. Of course
once they got the green light that the show
would be a go - first at Fringe and
hopefully later in schools throughout
Central Florida - Doug and Richard made the
obvious call to Michael Wanzie. After all,
when one thinks of child-appropriate
entertainment, Wanzie immediately comes to
mind. (Doesn't he?)
Thus WANZIE PRESENTS is co-producing the
show with D-Squared Productions.
D-Squared has created two mascot (heavy
theme park type costumes with big heads)
characters who go by the names of DOO
and WOP. In writing the dialogue for
the show, Wanzie has turned this duo into
imaginary friends who are believed onto the
stage by the kids in the audience at the
behest of four energetic onstage friends -
the singers/dancers/actors who anchor the
show.
Let's meet then now, shall we?
POP
- A real tom boy of a girl who knows what
it's like to be different, played by
Salem Moore
RAP
- A tough cool guy who rhymes in time and
speaks his mind, played by David Nicoll
CALYPSO
- The free-spirited surfer dude who is
always in tune with nature and beauty,
played by Karl Atkins
And JAZZY - The perennially perky and
optimistic girly-girl played by none other
than the lovely and talented Brittany
Berkowitz.
This hi-energy and brightly costumed group
of face (no masks or mascot heads)
characters will sing and dance to existing
songs that celebrate diversity, impart hope,
and teach civic and environmental lessons.
Wanzie has provided the script that
establishes the D-Squared-created characters
and gives them each a unique identify, while
at the same time melding the collection of
songs into a cohesive show that has a
through-line, and is both entertaining and
educational.
Doug White is staging and choreographing the
show, in addition to bringing DOO to life on
stage.
John deHaas is musical directing the cast
who will be singing live at each
performance.
Richard Kuntz is costuming the show, which
will be performed on the outdoor stage at
the 19th Annual Orlando
International Fringe Theater Festival's KIDS
FRINGE.
KIDS FRINGE happens
each Saturday
and Sunday of the Fringe on the Green
Lawn of Fabulousness. All KIDS FRINGE
activities are FREE! KIDS FRINGE is
focused on providing education,
information, and fun to children Pre-K
to 5th grade. Be sure to check out some

We've Got Mail!
|
|
Dear Michael,
You will recall I promised over a year ago
that whenever reading a WANZ-e-GRAM leads me
to erupt in laughter that I felt I owed it
to you to give you a quick phone call in
appreciation. I am breaking that promise
this week, and have decided to write you
instead. The reason is there were too
many hilarious items from this week's WANZ-e-GRAM for
me to do justice in a quick phone call.
Beginning with The World According To Wanzie
tribute to Big Irma (Mother Wanzie). I
loved it so much I printed a copy to take to
my Mom and Aunt this Sunday for Mother's
Day. "With a little FISH thrown in" got me,
too! I spoke with a Fish called Ernestine
today, and Rai and I can't wait to see Guest
Services! Then I had to laugh, not in a
good way, at the (anonymous)
letter-writer who closed with "Shame on
you." Methinks a person with the power of
their convictions would avoid cowardice
and sign their name to their own letter.
Laughable. How very appropriate and
funny that you signed your response with
"Two-time WAVE Award Winner - Orlando's
Favorite Spiritual Leader." Laughter is
indeed contagious, and I remain in grateful
laughter thanks to your communicability.
Keep up the good work!
Love,
Jeff Horn
Dear Jeff,
Once again the
level of sophistication of your humor
palate is more than evidenced by
cleverness of that at which you laugh.
You are a very sharp and perceptive
individual with impeccable taste, and an
uncanny ear for superior wit.
Thank you for
sharing your insights with us here at
the WANZeGRAM World Headquarters
inconveniently located in semi-beautiful
Melbourne, Florida, with Satellite
offices in Lake Mary, Orlando, The Swan
Hotel, and occasionally NYC and Key
West.
Sincerely,
That
little-Ole Laugh Riot
Me (Wanzie)
We at the
WANZeGRAM are always just as pleased as
punch to receive, post, and answer our
mail in this public forum. But it takes
two to play! Send your email to WANZIE!

You believe in a book that has talking
animals, wizards, witches. demons,
sticks turning into snakes, burning
bushes, food falling from the sky,
people walking on water, and all sorts
of magical, absurd, and primitive
stories, and you say that we are
the ones that need help?
- Mark Twain
If there really is a God who created the
entire universe with all of its glories,
and He decides to deliver a message to
humanity, He will not use, as His
messenger, a person on cable TV with a
bad hairstyle.
- Dave
Barry
Religion has convinced people that
there's an invisible man living in the
sky, who watches everything you do every
minute of every day. And the invisible
man has a list of ten specific things he
doesn't want you to do. And if you do
any of these things, he will send you to
a special place of burning, and fire,
and smoke, and torture, and anguish for
you to live forever, and suffer, and
burn, and scream until the end of time.
But he loves you. He loves you and he
needs money.
- George
Carlin

A Note From Wanzie:
|
The louder they rail against
homosexuality, the more apt they are
to be homosexuals. Not gays. Gays
are happy. These people -- like
Reker, and Haggard, and
Senator
Tap-Tap-in-the-Bathroom-Stall
--are not gay. They are
self-loathing, in denial, scared
shitless, closeted (and I mean like
way-way in the very back of a very
deep walk-in close, stuffed behind
the clothes that should have been
thrown out or donated to Goodwill
years ago) homosexuals. But worse
than any of that, they are
hypocrites.
Bill McCullum: What a joke! And also
a BIG FAT LIAR! Oh..and also a
hypocrite.
It's clear the inmates are running
the asylum.
The good Governor of Arizona has
signed into law a bill that makes it
illegal for High Schools in that
All-American State to teach ethnic
studies.
I swear to Christ on a cross...I've
said it before, and I'll say it
again...those running for elected
office should first be required to
take and pass a test before they are
allowed on the ballot. Not a litmus
test to see where they stand on
issues, but a basic intelligence
test, and one of those
fill-in-the-oval-with-only-a-number-2-pencil
tests that gauges your ability to
exercise common sense. And if there
is a way to test someone for their
level of bigotry, throw that in as
well. You have to take a test to be
deemed suitable to drive a car in
all 50 of our United States, but you
need not take a test to run for
Governor of a state, or to run for
President and leader of the free
world. That's just lunacy that
results in people like George W.
Bush ascending to an office he
had not the mental acuity to handle.
I hope for his own sake, that
Charlie Christ will find the guts to
come out of the closet before the
extreme Republican Right does the
outing for him, 10 minutes before
the election.
 BTW-A
great big shout out and thank you to
Kristin Chenoweth.
If you are unawares as to why I
would thank Kristin Chenoweth, you
need to click on the following link
to find out:
http://www.popeater.com/2010/05/11/kristin-chenoweth-newsweek/

This coming
Tuesday, May 18th, I,
along with the always delightful
DOUG, will be standing in for Miss
Sammy and Carol Lee as the hosts of
Twisted Sisters Bingo at Hamburger
Mary's. I'm very much looking
forward to it. The last time I was
on stage at Hamburger Mary's, I was
booed and yelled at, and rudely
interrupted by a Catholic Priest who
took issue with my being dressed in
a Pope costume while he, a gay
priest, was not wearing his collar
because, as he later wrote to me, he
doesn't wear vestments or a collar
as a sign of protest against certain
stances the institutional Catholic
Church takes on certain issues with
which this priest does not agree.
So, here we get into the hypocrisy
thing again. He took a vow to be a
priest and refuses to wear his
costume, and that's perfectly fine;
but I, who took no such vow, wears
a costume - not in protest, but
rather just for the fun of it. (I
was receiving a WAVE award for
"Orlando's Favorite Spiritual
Leader.") And somehow I'm out of
line? I'm the one disrespecting the
Church with which I have no
affiliation? I don't get it, and
once again, I cry hypocrite.
If there could be given one of those
fill-in-the-oval-with-only-a-number-2-pencil
tests to gauge a person's propensity for
hypocrisy before they are allowed to run
for office, I would be all for that
test, as well.
And just imagine if they gave that
hypocrisy test to those considering
joining the clergy, and then denied the
office to those who failed the test.
Organized religion as we know it in this
country would nearly cease to exist. At
a minimum, the word "Televangelist"
would literally disappear from the
lexicon of the English language.
But I digress.
I'm calling Bingo at Hamburger Mary's on
Tuesday. DOUG and I intend to have a
wonderful time doing so, and also intend
to present those in attendance with a
few entertaining twists and surprises.
We would be grateful to have our
subscriber friends in attendance.
Reservations are encouraged. The number
to call is 321.319.0600 .
(Please Note: I will be testing for
hypocrisy at the door. Members of the
clergy are encouraged to attend wearing
their collars and dresses.)
And just to piss off the self-loathing
gay family values fanatic wolves in
sheep's clothing, I have written a
children's show for Kids Fringe. If you
watch and listen to the show closely
(and have the proper agenda), you'll be
certain to discern the secretly encoded
messages that are embeded in the show
specifically to turn children away from
Christ, and to recruit them into
homosexuality while they're still young
and impressionable. Where's Anita when
she's needed most?
So what is Anita Bryant up to
these days since she decided to stop
trying to "Save our Children?"
Seems to me, if she weren't the
hypocrite that she is, and our children
really do need saving, she should not
have stopped trying to save them simply
because it became difficult or
unpopular.
Maybe someone should throw a pie in the
face of the Governor of Arizona. I mean
if it worked on Anita, it might be worth
a try.
While you ponder that possibility,
kindly click on the link below to
arrange your ticket to come see the very
final performance of Wanzie Presents'
GUEST SERVICES, tomorrow
night at 8 PM:
Hope to see many of you at
the show Saturday night...at
