Sentinel's Fitzpatrick Reviews Barcodes Karaoke/Store Opens
 
In case you didn't see it in the Orlando Sentinel:  Dedicated nightlife reporter (read booze hound) Kelly Fitzpatrick paid a visit to Barcodes on Edgewater Drive to check out the club and its weekly Karaoke party.
 
Also, we understand THE STORE is now open inside Barcodes. THE STORE offers a large variety of gift items, as well as hats, tee shirts, and adult entertainment items.
 
Check out the Barcodes Mondays-at-9 PM Karaoke for yourself, just as Kelly did. Also stop by THE STORE before you head out to the malls to do your Christmas shopping.
 
Barcodes is located at 4453 Edgewater Drive in Orlando,

What The Critics Are Saying About GLISTENING CAROL:
 
"I almost fell off the chair laughing at the Wanzie production of the Christmas Carol.  While the story of Scrooge may be familiar (even for a Jew like me!), I was impressed by the perfect comedic timing of the entire cast, and the production numbers were priceless!  I'm bringing the whole mishpucha (family) back to see the show later in December." 
-  Moira
- Real Radio Personality, Mother, Mahjong Addict, and Weight Loss Spokesperson.
 

"Carol Lee owns it, Miss Sammy parades it, Gidget Galore glitters it, Wanzie loses it, and Doug Ba'aser is it with a high-pitched fab-u-lous. It is Wanzie's Glittering Christmas Carol long-titled play, and YOU will be very sad if it passes you by. Buy your damn tickets now!"
- Jeff Kern
- Computer Systems Manager of a major swanky hotel on Disney property & A Major Whore-Dog on out-of-town trips.
 
"Wanzie's GLITTERING STAR-STUDDED A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A Dickens-Inspired Celebrity Cavalcade Holiday Spectacle was one of THE funniest xmas-ish shows I've ever seen!  It made me pee, guffaw, and drool (after the 6 vodka and crans)!  I hope this is an annual event. Please sir...I want some more!"
- Margaret Nolan
- Lesbian to the Stars
 
RUN! Don t walk, to see Wanzie s A Christmas Carol. I have seen some real train wrecks on stage in my time but this train wreck is executed so hysterically and on purpose.  Wanzie and cast have created a scripted play that caters to each of their unscripted personalities perfectly, and it won't really be Christmas unless you see this show. I laughed till I cried...for real!"
- Kenny Howard
- Student, Poet, Director, Closing Agent, and i-Phone Scrabble Addict
 
"1)   This is a must-see play; the casting couldn't have been better.  I laughed so hard, I may have peed myself a little.
 
2)   I am going to have to see this play again. There were too many people laughing to have heard all the lines. Doug, Matthew, and hell - all of them - did an awesome job. What a twist on an old classic.
 
3) Even though I was seated with Jeff Horn, the battered Ray (Rae, Rea, Rei), and the Dormans, I was still able to thoroughly enjoy this Wanzie spin on a holiday classic.
 
4)    I cannot think of a better way to kick off this holiday shopping scam than to sit back with a nice cocktail and enjoy this awesome holiday production. We laughed through the whole show.
 
5)    I don't work for a newspaper, a television station, nor one of the many gay magazines in the racks of the lobby of the Footlight Theatre, but I know I am qualified enough to say this show was hysterical, and we will be coming to see it again. Thanks for another brilliant play, Michael & company."
- Sean Harrington
- Oil Man, who likes to oil men
 
 
"More fun than searching for Sarah Palin in Alaska."
- Jack Dixon
- Rocket Scientist and frequent My Two Cents Contributor
 
"I haven't laughed that hard watching a show in a long time. It felt like I was watching a 70's Christmas star-studded TV show as a kid."
-Scott Penyak
- Office manager for David Dorman Group/Century 21, Husband, Real Estate Agent, Multiple Dogs Owner, and Vacuuming Addict.
 
"Pre-show instructions for all ladies planning to attend: please
practice your Kegel exercises  (Pelvic Muscle Exercises).  You will be glad you did.  I have never laughed so hard in my life, and when Doug Bowser (aka Marlee Matlin) spoke his first words, every lady I know in attendance almost peed their pants."
- Margo Dixon
- The Nearly Official White House Embroiderer and Very Official WANZeGRAM Staff Photographer.
 
 
"Recipe for a PERFECT Christmas - Gather a group of your friends.  Put on your tacky Christmas sweaters.  Get to the Footlight Theatre a little earlier than normal.  Add several pre-show cocktails.  Get ready to laugh until it hurts.  Wanzie's Glittering Star-Studded A Christmas Carol is the perfect addition to your holiday season.  Come often!  I can guarantee you no 2 shows are alike!"
- Drew Sizemore, 
-The Paula Deen of Christmas Shows
 
"Michael Wanzie's newest addition to the Central Florida Christmas Show Cavalcade is not to be missed! Wanzie's impersonation of Janis Joplin's bleeding throat tirades even impressed Marlee Matlin."
- Gary Bungart
- Full Time Unofficial Good Will Ambassador for Key West who is prone to falling down
Editor's Note...Boy you fall down just once and Wanzie can't let it go...it's not like I ran someone over with a friend's car or threw a drink at someone!
 
 
 
"This show was, quite frankly, the funniest thing I have seen on stage in YEARS!  I truly hope this becomes a holiday tradition!  All of my favorite performers on one stage, and all equally great!  I plan on going numerous times!
- David Dorman
- The Singing REALTOR
 
"Wanzie takes a classic tale that has been rehashed over and over again and manages to squeeze something fresh and funny out of it. The entire cast comes together and does what it takes to deliver a hilarious show that will leave you with a sore face from smiling and laughing so much. Kudos to Wanzie and the entire cast for working their asses off to bring us a new queer xmas classic that we can hopefully look forward to in the years to come."
- John Sullivan
- Writer/Duck Feeder/Celebrity Whore/Soon to be going through GLEE withdrawal
 
"Wanzie's latest work is a wonderfully warped, delightfully decadent, marvelously madcap Merry Christmas moment.  So what are you waiting for?  Buy your tickets...NOW!"

RICH CHARRON invites ARTISTS to Participate & Benefit!
 
This is an invitation to ALL Central Florida artists to participate in a unique holiday project experiment.  Given the current state of the economy, many of us are finding it challenging enough just to make ends meet, keep a roof over our heads, and food on our tables.  The giving of gifts only adds to the stress of the upcoming holiday season.  So, it is in that spirit that we invite you to participate in the Orlando Artists Holiday Project 2009.
 
This is it in a nutshell: We've set up a space at WANZIE.com  that will serve as host to the project. The idea is to pool all of the local talent and create as many holiday performances as possible, contributing to the overall project.  What we're talking about here is electronic files, be it audio, video, or graphics arts, all uploaded to the main library.  Once you've made a submission to the library, you'll have total access to the library and be able to download other pieces for your own use.  The thought is that you could select from a collection of holiday songs, radio plays, monologues, videos, podcasts, artwork, and create your own multimedia CD or DVD, suitable for gift-giving.  We want graphic artists to contribute their works for cover-art.  We want singers, actors, anyone and any idea that you can think of, to participate. The more involved, the better the overall project.
 
But we'd also like to use this opportunity to thank our audiences who find their way to the theaters, clubs, galleries, and other entertainment venues, for their continued support.  While participating artists can gain access to the library and create as many different collections of holiday performances as they like, the library will not be accessible to anyone else.  This gives you exclusive time to provide unique gifts for your family, friends, and colleagues. To thank our audience members, we'll post one download online for free, each night beginning on Dec. 11th (the first night of Hanukah), and right through to Christmas Day. Then, on the morning of December 25th, the library will be open to all our arts supporters as a special gift of appreciation.  We would like to get as many of the celebrated holidays represented, so please share your own personal holiday celebration.
 
The website is ready to go, and we'll begin uploading files on Monday, November 30th. Once you make a contribution to the library, you'll gain access for your own viewing.  Some of you may already have holiday recordings, in which case you need only upload it or them to participate.  There's no limit on how much you may participate. There's a message board where you can communicate with others in the community, share ideas, find fellow artists or technical folks, and more.  If you can help record, post your email.  If you need other actors, make a note in the message board. All participants will be able to participate in the project.  We've posted links to script libraries as well, where you can find radio play scripts, perfect for audio recordings.  Just about anything that you can think of.  Check it out and share your ideas.
 
 
The more participation - the better the project!  Please pass this information and link to your fellow artistic friends.
 
Contact Rich Charron (rich@WANZIE.com) if you have any questions or concerns.
 
Check out the website and get started today!

We've Got Mail!

Dear Wanzie, Doug Ba'aser, Gidget Galore, Miss Sammy, Doug White, and Carol Lee,
 
In addition to the rave reviews among us audience members immediately following your performance this past Saturday, it was also discussed,, by more than one party, how fortunate we in Orlando are to have the tremendous talents of each of YOU. 
 
We suspect Dickens is rolling over in his grave - laughing the whole way!
 
In concept we were suspicious how the theme would work.  We seem to never learn - do not underestimate the talent that is Wanzie & Friends.
 
You guys were phenomenal!
 
Not only is this production a "must-see" - it's a "must-see at least twice" to appreciate the full impact.
 
"Glittering" is a most appropriate title - it did that and more - sparkling, brilliant, and scintillating.
 
God bless us, everyone!
 
Rai Liauw & Jeff Horn
 
Rai is a vegatarian living in exile from his homeland, and Jeff picked him up. Rai can currently be seen wearing a Singapore sling. Jeff can currently be seen slumped over the bar at Barcodes.


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!

My Two Cents:
 
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO "HMMMM"
Part 2
Submitted by Katie Byrnes
 
 
26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
 
27. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in'
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said, "Yes, that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies."
.
28. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
 
29. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks, Mario Kart.
 
30. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
 
31. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
 
32. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
 
33. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
 
34. I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu' to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."
 
35. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
 
36. Bad decisions make good stories
 
37. Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
 
38. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
 
39. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
 
40. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from; this shouldn't be a problem...
 
41. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
 
42. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
 
43. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to fall and hit your head after leaning your chair back a little too far.
 
44. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
 
45. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
 
46. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

 

Submit YOUR TWO CENTS:

THE EIGHT: REINDEER MONOLOGUES
 
 
Breakthrough Theatre of Winter Park presents this unusual and highly comedic (and very adult) holiday fare, written by Jeff Goode:
 
Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa's eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment. As mass media descends upon the event, the other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges, which seems to implicate everyone from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself. With each deer's confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer...and murkier and murkier.
 
Starring Chris Prueitt, Jeff Lindberg, Ryan Gigliotti, Robyn Pedretti Kelly, Kevin Kriegel, Janine Klein, Kevin Bee, and Michelle Prueitt. Directed by Michael Colavolpe.

A Note From Wanzie:

My thanks to everyone on and off stage who helped add to the magic of the evening. I can't wait to do it again tomorrow.
 
I would also like to join Rich Charron in encouraging my artsy-type friends and my crazy relatives and, well, just about anyone with an idea and a measure of talent to please consider participating in our Holiday Arts Project (see article above).  The deadline to get your submission in is a week from today.  As Rich points out in his invitation, participation in the project gives you the opportunity to custom create your very own cost-free Christmas gift, for sharing with as many people as you may wish.  Read about it. Think about. Then contribute you talent and reap the return benefits.
