| Yes, this is what you think it is... |
I peek up from a
really full Winter/Spring tour to notice that it’s now been almost five months
since our last “View From Here” blog entry (Dec 28). I wanted to squeeze
something in before the end of the year, just as a reminder for any end-of-year
donations, but this May-August period is generally the most trying phase of the
tour, as Fringe festivals don’t tend to bring in a living wage.
Much of these months
have been caught up with writing two new shows and memorizing one of them. I’m amid
the final pages of draft four of the “Shakespeare Authorship Play,” which has
been paused the last month or two due to the sudden need to have the “Climate
Change Play” (now titled “Man Cave”) ready to perform NOW! (More on that
below!) |
| Northeast EdTA Opening Panel Audience |
Early January found
me traveling in a direction I rarely go in the colder months. I had a booking
of “Moliere than Thou” in Pelham, NY that I only vaguely remember so many
months later, although my notes remind me that the French teacher wrote back,
“Your show was amazing and definitely an unforgettable experience for the
students.”
 |
| Tim, Karen Sklaire Watson & Shirlee Isakovich |
Pushing even further
into snowy weather, I was a featured presenter at the Northeast Educational
Theatre Association, meeting in Portland, Maine. Of course, I avoid Maine in
mid-January, but the opportunity to share this work with a large bunch of
theatre kids was too tempting. I arrived a few days early and visited with
Gale, my Orlando friend (who has a winter home in Maine), and it snowed heavily
every day.
Over the two-day EdTA
event, I was part of an opening panel, gave three workshops, and performed “Lot
o’ Shakespeare” twice. It was great getting to know my fellow panelists, Karen
and Shirlee (Actress & Costume Designer, respectively), and perhaps most
fun presenting “Lot o’ Shakespeare” to audiences who were big fans of
Shakespeare and responded warmly to each monologue.

| One step ahead of the snow in Pennsylvania... |
In Columbus,
“Breakneck Hamlet” was part of a department-wide event. Columbus State has a
healthy enrollment of 120 theatre students, and I could hear and feel their
excitement from the other side of the curtain well before I began (they were
cheering the pre-show announcements).
 |
| San Diego Sunset #1 |
While I can
generally pick up a couple of shows within some two-or-three days’ drive, I lay
out my schedule about 18 months in advance of actual performances, and every
now and again there is a gap where events don’t fill in on my mapped-out agenda.
This was one such gap…! With a long drive from Georgia to Oregon, I decided to
make the most of it and drop in on as many friends as I might at each step
along the way.
 |
| Tim & Victoria |
I pushed west, with
quick visits in Forth Worth, TX, Las Cruces, NM, and Tucson, NM. In San Diego,
I managed to catch up with April’s foster-daughter, Victoria (now
attending San Diego State), as well as Betty Anderson and cousin
, Marty McGee.
From there I pushed north, dropping in on Lucy Wang in L.A., Kirsten Moomey in
Santa Clarita, Jayne Day in Fresno, Marina and Steve in Chico, Cil Stengel in
Ashland, OR (where I dropped off more of my books at the Oregon Shakespeare
Festival gift shop), and Pat and Kathy in Salem, OR, before finally landing in
Portland, OR for my next show (and visits to Powell’s Books and Jeff Desautels,
of “Box of Clowns” while I was there).
 |
| San Diego Sunset #2 |
Along the way, the Tim
Mooney Rep picked up another major donation from a semi-anonymous donor, contributing
$5,000 through the Sunflower Road Foundation!
The performance of
“Moliere than Thou,” coordinated by French teachers from three different Portland-area
schools, was extremely well received (and they started talking about a return
event for the coming Fall). Also in attendance was my semi-distant cousin,
Karen Martin (only discovered and met a year prior) and her husband and
daughter, who now saw me in performance for the first time ever.
Once again, I headed
east, with stops in Coeur d’Alene, OR, Missoula, MT (visiting Joe Proctor, one
year post-heart-transplant), before continuing on across the northern tier to Chicago.
 |
| What is this a close-up of? |
 |
| Car frost from Montana |
Following a quick
Chicago stop, I was back on the road again, with an Indianapolis performance
for 160 high school English students at Riverside High School! I had performed
both “Breakneck Hamlet” and “Breakneck Julius Caesar” to their “sibling
school,” Herron High School, in previous semesters, but “Lot o’ Shakespeare”
seemed to go over even better than either of those.
 |
| Lot o' Shakespeare at Riverside High School |
Following a quick
Q&A, I was back on the road to Delaware, Ohio, where the local Shakespeare
Club booked “Breakneck Julius Caesar” for a large auditorium to bursting with
650 students from several local schools. The show felt better than ever.
I received word that
my number had been picked off of the waiting list for the Tampa Fringe
Festival, where I would return with “Breakneck Julius Caesar” as a follow-up to
last year’s “Hamlet” performance. About a month later, I got word that they had
decided to use my visuals for a Fringe billboard campaign (pictured at top)!
 |
| Tim and the Old Man |
At home, I made some
headway on the spring “email campaign,” as well as some serious writing on both
the Shakespeare Authorship play and “Man Cave.” I began the long process of
memorizing this play, re-writing a lot as I memorize. As I worked, each
individual page was now processing through their fourth, fifth, sixth drafts.
 |
| Kingsville Criteria Crew |
Back to Texas! This
time I headed for Texas A&M-Kingsville, which had brought me in on perhaps
three previous occasions. While the French department hosted me for another
“Moliere than Thou” performance, my good friend, Michael Verderber (along with
his wife, Katy), teach English in Kingsville, and I offered to share my one-man
comic sci-fi thriller, “Criteria,” as a warm-up to a performance I was
anticipating at the Southeast Theatre Conference (SETC) the following week.
They were delighted to set me up with a room and a handful of friends for the
event. (I only get to perform “Criteria” about once every couple of years, so
the chance to remind myself of how it plays is a real benefit.)
The next day
featured an afternoon workshop as well as an evening performance of “Moliere
than Thou” for a small audience. Katy Verderber (below) volunteered for the
Elmire scene, which was loads of fun.
The following day, I
received this audience inquiry, forwarded from one of the event’s hosts:
“I wanted to thank
you again for telling me about “Moliere than Thou”! Tim Mooney was terrific!
One thing puzzles me, however. After watching Mooney, you might think that
Moliere wrote in English, which is obviously not the case. I should think that whoever
did the translations should receive nearly equal billing. All those rhymes!
What is the story on that?”
(Of course, I was
the one who had written “all those rhymes,” but given that the school had put
together their own program for the event, I hadn’t noticed that the
“translator” was not given any billing…!)
Following a two-day
race through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, I was back at SETC, this time
in Mobile, Alabama, where I immediately caught dinner with my old “Alabama
Shakespeare Festival Friend,” Jay Cotton. (I hadn’t seen Jay since maybe 1981,
so we had a LOT of catching up to do!) ((I’m embarrassed to say that we got so
caught up in conversation, that I don’t seem to have caught a photo!))
It was another
flurry of a conference, with April helping to run the booth, while sharing
marketing support with Bremner Duthie and David Gaines, two favorite performers
who were also presenting as part of the “Fringe Festival.”
 |
| Texas Sunset |
I was crazily
re-crossing my tracks (passing through Texas) to bring “Lot o’ Shakespeare” to the
University of Science and Art of Oklahoma. This was their third time hosting
me, and they also wanted to put together a special event, bringing some 400
fourth graders to the school for something appropriate to their level.
 |
| Actual billboard in Texas |
The full performance
also went very well that night, and it was nice to be reminded of how fun “LoS”
is after so many performances of my “long form” breakneck shows.  |
| Driving in New Mexico |
Crisscrossing once
more, I was racing back down to Laredo, Texas, which is only about 90 minutes
from Kingsville, although quirks in the Spring break calendar prevented me from
scheduling the two schools back to back.
 |
| ENMU Banner |
This time I was back
with another acting workshop for local high school actors, as well as an
evening performance of “Breakneck Julius Caesar.” I’m not sure what scheduling
quirk drove attendance down to an extremely small number (in an otherwise huge
hall), but I consoled myself with the assurance that my fee was netting me over
$150 per ticket.
 |
| Branson Ferris Wheel |
I pushed on to
Portales, New Mexico, for another workshop and a presentation of “Moliere than
Thou,” before heading back through Oklahoma, dropping in on my old high school
buddy, Dave Hirsch (and his charming wife, Helga), and swinging through
Branson, MO, on my way north once again.
For the second time,
ever, another actor was taking on the huge challenge of one of my shows, and I raced up to Maryville,
Missouri to meet up with Shawn Murphy of Northwest Missouri State University.
Shawn was a senior theatre major, working on his final performance project, and
had fallen in love with “Criteria.”
 |
| Tim and alter-ego, Shawn Murphy |
Shawn has seen me
perform a couple of my one-man shows, but had never actually seen me do
“Criteria.” And so, he had a lot of questions!
Having just
performed the show some two weeks prior, the lines were fairly fresh in my
head, so I was able to demonstrate some of the multiple characterizations I’d
developed, as well as the convention of running-in-place to simulate the
character’s travel that I’d developed in coordination with the lead character’s
narration. Sean was still a couple of weeks from performance, but rave reviews
eventually got passed my way as his professors cheered him (and me) on:
“So Shawn knocked it
out of the park tonight… now I see why you said this show was so exhausting!
What an excellent and thought-provoking piece.”
“I thought to myself about halfway through,
‘man this is really well written!’”
Back in Chicago, we managed
a small family reunion in a local restaurant (which actually swelled into a
significant gathering before all was said and done).
Following a brief
2-week Chicago stay (more memorization / more marketing), I headed east, with a
workshop in Indianapolis, a performance of “Moliere” in Lexington, KY, and two
performances at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA.
 |
| Mooneys & McGees |
Geneva College was
hosting me for two entirely different shows, as I did a full performance of
“Breakneck Hamlet” one evening, followed by “The Greatest Speech of All Time”
the following morning. “Hamlet,” itself, went very smoothly, but “Greatest
Speech,” performed in a study area of the student center, with students coming
and going throughout, led me to glitch a bit on Roosevelt’s “Fear Itself.” The
hosts, however, seemed very happy, and both, in their thank-you notes,
referenced interest in a return event.
 |
| John Blakely |
Sadly, I learned of
the passing of my cousin (and godfather) Johnny Blakely while on this leg of
the trip. He’d been struggling for a couple of weeks following a collapse while
exercising, and died shortly after my event in Lexington. In spite of being the little pipsqueak of the family, Johnny was always gracious and kind, with a warm smile for me. Unfortunately, I was
performing in Geneva, PA on both the night of the wake and the morning of the funeral,
and found myself sending thoughts and prayers his way as the performances proceeded.
Another bit of news
had caught up with me in Pennsylvania:
Given that I was now
added to the Tampa Fringe line-up, I’d written the head of the Orlando Fringe
to let him know I’d be in the area, should another last-minute drop out from
the festival arise. One, of course, did, and I took advantage of the work I’d
been putting into “Man Cave” (largely, with an eye to this possibility) to
submit it for its world premiere, now just one month away! (Orlando has already
seen all my other shows.) Suddenly, my efforts on this project had a new surge
of focus and urgency! (I always say that an artist’s best friend is a
deadline.)
I took a swing
through St. Michael’s, Maryland, dropping in on my sister, Maureen, and her
husband, Tim, and did a test reading/performance of the new show for them,
encouraged by their enthusiastic laughs.
The same afternoon I got the Orlando Fringe news, I also found I’d been selected for a festival in Los
Angeles: The Son of Semele “Solo Creation Festival,” where I would also be
presenting “Man Cave”! (more focus! more urgency!)
 |
Tim, Tim, Yorick & Yorick

I had a booking of
“Breakneck Hamlet” at Stetson College in DeLand, Florida, arranged by one of
the most go-getting students I’ve encountered over the years. Katie Pulling had
seen me perform at SETC on a couple of past occasions, and, determined to get
me down to her school, had pushed her way through the student activities
funding bureaucracy to make it happen! She’d also arranged for a conversation
with a class studying entrepreneurship, along with an acting workshop, making
the trip more than worthwhile.
I had about 2 days back
in Chicago before running off to Northwestern College (in Iowa) to do
“Breakneck Julius Caesar.” Again, I dropped in on a class to discuss
entrepreneurship as well as presenting another session on acting, before doing
the show for a relatively small audience. (Apparently the students had long
before planned an excursion to catch the latest “Avengers” movie to celebrate
their last week of classes.)
It had been about
fifteen years since my old friends, the Barkers (at Northwestern) had hosted me
to perform “Moliere than Thou,” and had also given me the opportunity to do a
test performance of (what was then) my brand new show, “Criteria” for a small
group of students. In that spirit, I offered them a free reading/performance of
“Man Cave,” and about 10 people stuck around to catch the new show.
My biggest concern
with any new show is that some reaction or non-reaction will throw me off of my
game, leading me to lose my place entirely, so I didn’t want my first time in
public, with a critical review in the offing, to be the first time that I got a
sense of how it “played.” I was also trying to get the performance down to
under 45 minutes, which would be the maximum allowed in the upcoming Los
Angeles event. (The Iowa performance clocked in somewhere around 50 minutes.)

The Tampa Fringe had
been a small festival in its inaugural 2017 year, and was still small now,
though they had extended its run to two weekends. The audience size was stretching thinly over more performances, so I didn't expect much money to come of this one, although there is always the fun of hanging out with other artists, and getting to do the show for whomever shows up. More often than not, I was performing to audiences in the single digits; most were fellow artists... but the billboard and the response from my colleagues was very encouraging.
I was staying with a
family in Clearwater, relentlessly running lines for both “Hamlet” and “Man
Cave.” Every morning, I’d walk a mile to the Starbucks for coffee, and walk
back, running my Hamlet lines. One day, I had taken over the “Jobsite Theatre”
Instagram feed, and took several photos as I walked.
 |
| "Man Cave" in the park |
I gathered a few
friends for yet another casual performance of “Man Cave” in a Tampa park, while
sharing it on Facebook Live. With the several distractions in the park I did
need to stop two or three times to check lines but I was particularly glad to
share the show with Dan Kinsch, whose own show “Planet Hospice” performed at
last year’s Tampa Fringe had been my inspiration to create this piece.
 |
| Tim & Lauren |
My stage manager for
“Breakneck Hamlet” was Lauren Arneson, whom I‘d originally met way back in 2003
when she came to see my “Moliere Than Thou” performance at the New York Fringe (she
had been the “volunteer” in the Tartuffe/Elmire scene). We’ve continued to bump
into each other over the years, but this was our first chance to actually work
together!
The Fringe ended
with “Beach Day,” as many of us stuck around for one final day in Tampa, to
enjoy the quickly disappearing sun!
The next day, I was
off to Orlando, where I finally caught up with my postcards and posters for
“Man Cave.” With no actual “art” quite ready for the show, I’d slapped together
postcards and posters with the sepia version of my headshot.
I don’t know why I
keep thinking that “sepia” is going to be artsy and intriguing. It generally
looks good on a computer screen, but plastered on walls and boards next to the
hundred other shows using splashy primary colors, it disappears. I couldn’t quite
invest in a whole new set of postcards, but did put together a last-minute
poster borrowing a painting of “dogs playing poker” which would at least draw
some attention.
I did two minutes of
the show for the out-of-town artists “teaser” night and my tech-rehearsal/press
preview was the following day. The tech on this particular show is really
simple, and we had time to squeeze in
a quick race-through of the show before
the press and Fringe volunteers showed up. (I'm recognizing more and more of the audience her in Orlando, given that this is my 11th performance at the festival!)
The Orlando Sentinel
covered that performance, with a review that showed up that night. While the response
was clearly positive, I’m pretty sure that the reviewer hadn’t put in a lot of
review-time over the years, given that the third sentence of his review
revealed a critical spoiler, and he spent a full paragraph on how much he liked
the William-H-Macy-ness of it all. But here’s a couple of good quotes:
"Imagine the documentary film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ with Al Gore replaced by William H. Macy. The resulting product is “Man Cave, a One-Man Sci-fi Climate-Change Tragicomedy,” a one-man show with a lot more swagger and humor than the former vice president could ever manage… It’s this desperation, delivered with a charismatic rage by Mooney, that makes this show work… Mooney’s performance is unapologetically political and… goes even further than any Green Party agenda you’ll find.”
I’ve had three more
performances since the press preview (and four final shows this weekend), but
no sign of any further press since then. The show continues to take a more
definite, secure shape, but depending on what mood the audience is in, it can
feel very comic or very tragic. And quite often, within a single crowd there
are very mixed feelings. I’ll close with just a few of the audience responses:
“Risk taking,
challenging and honestly terrifying. This is the spirit of the fringe!” (Thom
Mesrobian)
“Everyone should see
it… not just at Fringe but everyone in the world. Great message. A. Gore on
steroids, but without the viewgraphs.” (Jack Dixon)
“I cried for about
two hours after your show…!” (“Dan”)
 |

FINALLY: We are going to be diving into some more fundraising very soon. We'll be raising money to kick off the "Man Cave" tour, reaching out to "Environmental Science" teachers, conferences, driving the show out to Los Angeles, researching opportunities, developing the full promotional package of art, photos, videos, t-shirts, mugs, pushing the publicity in L.A. and beyond.
If you're on Facebook you can make a quick and easy donation if you click on this link . Or, over the next few days I'll be developing a new funding campaign on Indiegogo, and will post more on that when it's ready to go... So, you'll probably be hearing from me again, very soon...!
Discoveries: “I really do love
my job.” * “Gaps” in the schedule will ultimately arise. I get to choose
between whether these are failings or opportunities. * The artist’s best friend
is a deadline. * When the timing of a given play or page starts to clock in at
a consistent rate, the material is largely memorized. * However good it might
look on a computer screen, SEPIA promotional materials largely disappear in the
sea of bright primary colors that scream for attention.
