There was an author who wrote something to the effect of… “I apologize for the length of this letter… I would have written less, but I didn’t have enough time.”

Demonstrating Hamlet's scene in "Gertrude's Closet" at the Texas Wesleyan workshop... |
Fort Worth! Texas
Wesleyan University is beginning to turn into my most reliable booking, having
brought me in for four appearances now! Their Dean, Steve Daniel, had been a
French professor at Auburn University of Montgomery, which booked “Moliere than
Thou” way back in 2009, before he headed off to Texas. Since then, he has
booked me in Texas to perform “Lot o’ Shakespeare,” “The Greatest Speech of All
Time,” and “Shakespeare’s Histories; Ten Epic Plays at a Breakneck Pace!” This
time around, I was back in his wheelhouse, presenting “Moliere than Thou.”
The adorable "Elmire Volunteer" at TWC speaks fluent sarcasm... |
I had a really fun
workshop with the theatre students on “Producing and Touring the One-Man Play,”
and I revealed all of my trade secrets… (essentially, a much abridged version
of this blog), focusing on my “Discoveries”. (If you’ve never read through to
the end of this blog, you might not know that I extract out the “discoveries”
that I make along the way…) “Moliere than Thou” was well attended and well
received, and some students and teachers bought book copies after the event.
I immediately, pushed
on south (burning off the adrenaline that was still bubbling for a couple of
hours after the show), getting into San Antonio around 1 am, in anticipation of
a workshop at a private school the following morning. The workshop that I give
for French classes, titled “The Life of Moliere,” tends to be a more sober look
at how this great comic playwright came to balance a very strong early
education, with a life on the road as an itinerant player, to create some of
the most effective comedies of all time.
Well, these mostly
middle-school kids were mostly disinterested, and the teachers repeatedly
requested more interactive, performance-oriented material. I obliged, all while
continually trying to maintain the thread of Moliere’s life story, even as one
class of students had to move on to something else, and another class of
students arrived. I ended up simply performing portions of “Moliere than Thou”
that were the most effective in waking students up… which, of course, the
teachers loved, but which leaves me feeling like the clown at the children's birthday party. Afterwards, I realized that what the school really wanted was a
performance of “Moliere than Thou,” but they had opted for my lower cost
option, a workshop. (When we traded e-mails after the fact, I noted that next
time around, if they wanted this kind of an experience, they would need to go
for the full performance.) As it was, I came away from the event with a ragged voice
(I hadn’t warmed up vocally beforehand) and less money.
Tim & Brem in NOLA |
I caught up with my
cousins, Kathy and Larry, just outside of San Antonio, before hitting the road,
stopping in New Orleans to catch a drink with fringe-star-and-dear-friend, Bremner
Duthie, swinging up to Chattanooga, visiting with Sabra & Paul (hosts
of many Chattanooga adventures over the years) and picking up the box of the
newly-published “The Breakneck Hamlet Companion.”
Yes! It’s out and
available! On-line or in-person, complete with comments on plot, snarky
remarks, historical context, acting advice, and Book Antiqua text! It’s only
picked up a single reader review so far on Amazon. So, please, go to, http://www.amazon.com/Breakneck-Hamlet-Companion-Actors-Notebook/dp/098318125X/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
, and share your opinion! Even if you’ve only seen the performance, you know
enough about the material in this book to have something to say!
Somewhere in the
course of all of this, I discovered that I was a winner in the CAFF lottery!
CAFF stands for the
Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals, and the several lottery winners each
year win automatic acceptance into each of the Fringe festivals that they
select. We still have to pay the entrance fees, but we get to plot out the tour
that we want to perform, choosing our favorite fringe stops, and/or places that
we’ve heard are really great, but never got the chance to perform in. This time
around, I signed up for Orlando (I know: it’s in the United States, but it’s
still a member of CAFF), London (Ontario, not England), Regina, Winnipeg,
Calgary and Edmonton! It’s been ten years since I’ve performed in Canada (not
counting French teachers conferences), and I’m hoping a few people still
remember me.
As opposed to other
Fringe tours, when I have sometimes performed as many as five different shows
through the course of the summer (or, sometimes, in a single festival), this time around, it’s all “Breakneck Hamlet”
all the time! It’s a new show that none of these festivals have hosted yet, and the
intention is, for once, to let performances in one city build up a reputation for the show in the next city along the way, as reviews, buzz
and gossip gather around me from one tour stop to the next.
Post-show schmoozing with Tisse Mallon, Matt Palm and Carl F. Gauze |
In the interest
of building up that gossip (and with a few days off), I headed south to
Orlando, to check in with old friends, visiting with my usual host, Al. (Al
seems to prefer anonymity on social media sites, so I’ll leave his last name
off.) Al and I cooked up the idea for a preview performance of “Breakneck
Hamlet” in his living room, and we both invited a bunch of Orlando friends. Two
of the friends in attendance included the long time Fringe Reviewers, Matt Palm
(Orlando Sentinel) and Carl F. Gauze (Ink19.com). I gladly granted both permission to
write their fringe reviews based on this living room show (which was very well
received). These reviews won’t actually appear in the media until
late May, but, given that the Fringe Lottery
hadn’t even taken place yet, it made mine the earliest-reviewed fringe
performance ever! Somewhere, tucked away on two computers, are responses to
“Breakneck Hamlet,” which will only show up some eight months after they were
written!
One-man show catering table... |
I'm not sayin...! |
Me & Monique |
From Newnan, I
continued on to Greenwood, South Carolina, with a repeat visit to Lander
University. The theatre professor, Monique was bringing me in for a workshop
and a performance of “Moliere than Thou,” which she’d caught on my last trip
through, workshopping and performing for Bess Park's troupe, Wild Hare
Productions (which was then producing my “The Learned Ladies”).
Demonstrating "Tartuffe Seduction Techniques"... |
The workshop was
extremely well received, and the show went even better. Monique had scheduled
me to present in the school’s small “black box” studio theatre, and even though
I was performing on a Saturday (which is rare for colleges in which students
often go home over weekends), the place was packed with over 70 people and NO
empty seats (they had to turn people away). Monique, and the
students, were extremely gracious, as were my hosts for the weekend, Byron and
Lou, who were putting me up at their house for the third time.
In Americus, Georgia Jeff Green was producing a shortened
adaptation of my shortened adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Richard II,” “Henry IV
1 & 2” and “Henry V,” collectively known as “The Henriad.” They had opened
the show the previous weekend, but were between performances, which meant that
I wasn’t going to get to see what they did with my material… though they did
seem keenly interested in seeing “Shakespeare’s Histories; Ten Epic Plays at a
Breakneck Pace,” and attending to my workshop, afterwards.
Them Eastport Oyster Boys |
I enjoyed a birthday
performance of “Moliere than Thou” at Newton High School in Newton, New Jersey,
where I’d last performed back in the Spring of 2004! The French teacher there
pushed for a grant to support the event, publicizing it widely and even gettinga local reviewer out to the high school! I loved getting the 200 or so Facebook
well-wishes, but the upshot is that I spend about 48 hours responding to
messages, and don’t get to spend much time on the “happy” part of the happy
birthday… I think next year I’ll just read, enjoy, appreciate, but spread out my replies through the year.
Theatre professor, Michael Swanson (who
had also booked me way back in the very first year of the tour: Fall, 2002,
when he was working with Franklin College in Indiana!) and I have kept in touch over the years, arranging a couple of American
College Theatre Festival events, before he finally found himself at a school
which might afford to bring me in… this time to do a workshop and present, “Lot
o’ Shakespeare.”
This performance (at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania) was
the shakiest I’ve ever been on my “Lot o’ Shakespeare” lines, and I write it
off to the fact that, with six entirely different shows on the fall tour, “Lot o’ Shakespeare,” almost double the length of any of the others… and
randomized through a bingo cage, is a challenge beyond what any single
narrative hour of memorization might present. Also, as I’m presenting a
potential two hours worth of material, doing my preferred “three-run-through prep” on
the day of the show is almost physically impossible.
Hillary, holding down the best day job ever: Barkeep at a micro-brewery! |
New
England is not “on the way” to any other part of the country, which makes my stops out that
way are few and far between. If I’m lucky, I seem to arrange a single performance
out that way, but, with a number of friends in the area, this time, at least, I
took advantage of the opportunity to drop in on Hillary from the fabulous “Fruit
Flies Like a Banana” fringe show, and on Patrick Gabridge, the proprietor of
“Playwright Binge,” a listserv of playwrights who support each other in the
relentless submission of plays. This time, Patrick had a production
of one of his shows, “Lab Rats,” being presented in Boston, and I got there
just in time to see the well-executed performance.
GSAT at MCLA! |
I settled in a hotel
for a couple of days to catch up on work before heading to the Massachusetts
College of Liberal Arts, where I presented the SIXTH play of this fall’s tour,
“The Greatest Speech of All Time.” Ironically, the poster they put together for
the event featured me in the midst of a performance of “Criteria, a One-Man
Comic Sci-Fi Thriller!”
I sometimes wonder
whether I should give up on including history teachers in my e-mail campaigns,
but this was one of those rare occasions in which a history teacher had
actually booked my show, and a nice crowd of perhaps sixty students crowded in
to a conference room for the show, which was, once again, reviewed by the college paper.
Heading southwest
again, I raced back through Harrisonburg, picking up the now-adjusted costume
from Kathy Conery, and pushing on through West Virginia, into Ohio.
Perhaps pushing a
little too hard…
As I drove, I was
feeling a little pushback from the engine… a glitch, or a hitch, or a flutter
of some sort. Somewhere in the mountains of West Virginia, a dashboard light
came on: “check engine…”
I eased back from my
hurry. I didn’t need to go 75 mph… Perhaps 60 would get me there just fine. Crossing from West
Virginia to Ohio, I ratcheted back down to 50. Around the one
hour mark, I dropped under 45, with the “check engine” light now
flashing at me! Switching over to a
state road, I dropped down to 35 miles per hour, and I still had to push another
10 miles past Cedarville, to where my hotel was waiting, as darkness gathered.
The next morning I
left the car with the Firestone folks, and late that afternoon that they called me back to let me know the
car was fixed. But as I drove it back down to Cedarville, I noticed that the
engine light back on and flashing once again!
Though I was running late, the tech staff at the
school were pros, focusing the specials and learning the cues all in the course
of an hour. Students gathered in the foyer as I finished last-minute
details, and ultimately almost all of the 70 or so chairs that had been
set out were filled.
The poster for Breakneck Hamlet at Fresno's Rogue Festival! |
The show, on a small wooden platform stage with a wide staircase
descending four feet from the front of the stage to the first row of audience, was lots of fun.
That staircase provided an excellent playing space in the nether world between
stage and audience, and every time I worked any of my scenes in that space, I
could feel the tension and attention heighten, knowing that I was in a danger
zone where anything could happen.
We did a talkback
afterwards, mostly about my strange living as a one-man show performer, before
heading out for dinner with a couple of the teachers, who caravanned back north
to the hotel with me, to make sure that I got back without further breakdown.
My next task would be to take the
car to a dealer, and I pushed through to Bloomington, Indiana, where I had a bed, and a few days’ down time waiting for
me at Deb & Edwards’ get-away house. Somehow, I was able to get it to the Bloomington
Ford dealer, and they wanted to put a new engine in… a $7,000 investment in a car
that already had 245,000 miles on it.
I rented a car and
headed for Lexington, Kentucky.
It was dark when I
finally got the rental, with some odd litter
still in the car from the previous renter, including a coffee cup in the cup
holder. I tossed that stuff out, replacing the cup with my smart phone, in
the only position where I could glance at the GPS to follow my route.
Checking into the hotel in Lexington, I noticed that the battery level of my phone, which
had been charging by way of the car’s cigarette lighter, was still down around
19%!
The next morning, the cell phone was completely unresponsive. It was then that I noticed that the cup holder where
I’d set my phone (in the darkness of an unfamiliar car the night before) seemed
to have a large puddle of coffee still in it! The base of my phone had
been soaking in a pool of coffee through the previous day’s drive!
I found my way to the
Sayre School where I’d performed a couple of times in previous years. This time
around, I would be performing in the school’s gymnasium, and we arranged a
“bandshell” surrounding so that my voice would remain directed to one bank of
bleachers where some of the students sat, between two angled banks of folding
chairs, giving me a slight thrust stage… but one where each bank of seats was
entirely separated from the other two.
This arrangement
created a split focus, and students seemed to struggle with understanding the
show. Even the teacher, who has seen me perform a couple of times in the past,
was less than enthusiastic this time around.
Actual Cover of Southern Illinois Newspaper... "I swear: it wasn't me!" |
Explaining the problem to the guy at “Saluki
Screen Repair” in Carbondale, he immediately realized that the only
part of the phone that was probably soaked in coffee was the charging port at
the base. Within an hour, he’d replaced that port and the phone was functional
again, a $50 repair, rather than a dreaded $500+ phone replacement!
I
was performing at my alma mater, Southern Illinois University. Only one of my
former faculty, Dr. Christian Moe (now long retired), was still in town, and he
and his wife Carolyn, both still in fine shape, managed to show up for the
show.
Tim & The Moes |
The rest of the SIU faculty has brought me in
to perform in other years, and I bump into them at conferences from time to
time. This time, rather than the laboratory theatre (coincidentally, the “Christian
H. Moe Laboratory Theatre”), where I’d performed so very often as an undergrad,
I would be on the main stage (the “Macleod Theatre”), where I’d performed
mostly supernumerary parts in years past.
I happily announced
to my SIU Facebook friends that I was, at last, performing a lead role on the
Macleod Stage.
This time the show was extremely well received. The acoustics were excellent, and the savvy audience extremely attentive. There
may have been a hundred students (including the awesome Amber
Peterson, in her final semester as an undergrad), but they, and especially the
faculty, were feeding my energy with a really rollicking response.
When it came time for the “Tartuffe Volunteer Scene,” the Voice Professor, Susan Patrick Benson, who was quickly becoming a good friend, put up her hand. More often than not, the volunteer scene becomes a bit of a joke at the expense of the volunteer, who is a bit bewildered by the seduction scene now happening around her, but Susan gave me a run for my money, giving back as good as she got with a sparkling showing.

Buying a new car as the snow arrives... |
The next day I was on
my way back to Bloomington, this time with Amber joining me. Amber’s
mom, April was getting ready to move out of her house back in Glenview, and I
was driving her back for one final goodbye to the old homestead.
But first, it was
time for a new car! With some research help from April, I knew that the model I
now wanted was a Mazda CX-5. It had good mileage, enough room and a little more
pick-up than the Ford Escape. Also, six years after my last car purchase, new
cars have gotten much more interactive with Bluetooth technology.
Molieremobile #2 cedes the stage to Molieremobile #3 |
The car salesman,
knowing that I was stranded, with the need to leave town right away, had little
incentive to negotiate the price. But when they only offered me $1500 for the trade-in on the old car, I said no.
There was a winter
storm blowing through Indiana that night, so Amber and I stayed the night at
Deb & Edwards’ house, where (leaving my old car parked in the garage) I
pushed on the following morning… encountering plenty of snow blowing across the interstate, leaving packed ice along the path.
By the time we got back to Chicago, my brand new car was coated and splattered with salt and ice.
There's a new Moliere in town... |
In Chicago, I
split my time between working my latest mega-e-mail campaign, promoting the
2016 tour,
and helping April get packed up and moved out. April’s house was sold, but she
had yet to close on her new condo, so there was a lot of maneuvering with
storage spaces over a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, I picked up a sublet in
Waukegan, where I’d be returning for more performances at Clockwise Theatre in
January.
The two in the back of the line don't know that the three in the front of the line have come down to Carbondale to celebrate! |
I doubled back to Bloomington, managing to sell the old Escape (for a thousand
dollars more than the dealer had offered), and returning, yet again to
Carbondale, this time for Amber’s early graduation. (Amber pushed herself to get
done a semester early, and still graduate summa cum laude!) We somehow managed to surprise her, as nobody actually mentioned that I, and her sibling-figures, Nick and Victoria had made the trip.
Christmas and New
Year’s raced by while I rehearsed three different one-man Shakespeare shows
(“Lot o’ Shakespeare,” “Shakespeare’s Histories” and “Breakneck Hamlet”) to perform in rotating repertory at Clockwise!
Tim, Victoria, Amber, Nick & April... |
The shows themselves
were well received, although most of the publicity surrounding them seemed to
not have had much impact, as the coverage was minimal. (We did at least, pick
up this feature article in the Tribune/News Sun.)
"An extraordinary and enlightening experience." (Bonny Davidson)
"...Phenomenal. His memory of the lines is breathtaking... Anyone looking for a very entertaining and amazing act... you really need to check this out... Simply amazing." (Suzy Bowe Sadowski)
"Your performance was INCREDIBLE... I was completely enthralled on the edge of my seat. Shakespeare is alive..." (Wade Dickson)
"The show was SO entertaining. I highly recommend going... Especially if you don't know much about Shakespeare. You'll have a whole new appreciation and understanding after watching Tim Mooney's incredible and energetic performance." (Linda Fagan Emmerich)
"Whole new fun and entertaining way to present Shakespeare. Tim Mooney is a gifted performer. Wish my high school English lit teachers would've made Shakespeare as enoyable! Go if you get a chance. You will not regret it." (Jamie McMahon Shaw)
"Such talent! Thanks for "turning me on"... to more interest in Shakespeare. Your talent astounded me. EVERYONE, go see this!" (Kris Seegren)
"We loved both shows and area still shaking our heads over the remarkable amount of Brit istory Tim teaches through Shakespearean eyes. Most astounding is Tim's ability to convey the Bard's most profound soliloquies with full tilt emotion in 'Shakespeare's Histories'... How does one guy keep all that info in his head?" (Jan McGee)
And... as long as I'm citing the reviews... I received this happy report from a parent the other day:
"My 15 year old son won a Shakespeare monologue contest by studying your videos on YouTube... He is moving on to the regional level the end of this month... He considers your books and videos his secret weapon." (Mendee Rock)
This Fringe Season EVERYONE is going to want a Breakneck Hamlet balloon! |
Hugo spotted me at a Waukegan Bar, surreptitiously drawing this... |
With the deadline screaming
toward me, I packed up from the sublet space, loaded up the car, and hit
the road. Once again, the first stop was Bloomington, and from there,
on to Chattanooga, Tennessee. I was bringing “Breakneck
Hamlet” to Berry College, just outside of Rome, Georgia. The little 200-seat thrust theatre space was
packed, with about 20 turned away at the door. The audience got ALL of my
jokes, and it felt both funny and “dangerous.” Having bought a new camera, I
captured what looks like some terrific video of the show. (The two videos in this blog are from that performance.)
One of my Berry College technicians, Hayley, describes herself as A Power Ranger, but for the Theatre...! |
Finally, I was
surprised to receive an invite from a friend who now lives in Ireland, to come
over and visit sometime. Looking at my schedule for the summer, I realized that
I still have a three week gap in which I neither had any plans, nor any place
to stay… And, thinking about the possibilities, I realized that I have some
connections in other countries (England, Scotland, Denmark), where they might
also want to see a performance of “Breakneck Hamlet!” And, as such, I am in the
process of scoping out a European Tour this summer, in addition to the Canadian
fringe circuit! (More on that as plans develop… but I've already begun to promote the European leg of the tour in my videos!)
And finally, while working on this edition of the blog, I've been camped out in Alabama, updating my computer's operating system, so that I could get my new camera (replacing the one stolen in Sacramento) to interact with the computer. I managed to book a last minute appearance in Idyllwild, California (arranged by the amazing Betty Ginsburg Anderson) for next week. She posted the news on Facebook, and yet another commenter replied:
"I never was interested or understood Shakespeare until I experienced Tim's performance!" (Stacey Grant)Discoveries: Sometimes they want a serious lecture; sometimes they just want the clown at the birthday party... at a discount. * Sometimes a narrower variety of available shows enables me to spread a more active buzz from one festival to the next. * If the people sending wishes for a happy birthday on Facebook really want you to have a happy birthday, then they won't mind you responding to their greeting some other day... * Somewhere in between the performance space and the audience lies a "danger zone." If I can find my way into that, the attention shoots through the roof. * If I can find a way to do these performances without me or the hosting schools having to freak out about money, that's a much healthier way to get by.
Next Performances: Wadley, AL (Feb 4), Midland, TX (Feb 8), Idyllwild, CA (Feb 11).
