I recently played Bob Ewell in a great production of “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Whenever I’m in a show, certain line readings stick in my brain and certain silly scenarios play over an over in my mind during rehearsals and shows. Since I never get to be in the audience, these experiences end up being the show I remember.
This is what I’ll remember. This is mainly for my Cast-mates, but some others might enjoy the silliness, especially if you’ve ever been in a production of TKAM. These are good memories friends, and in no way meant to demean the amazing performances, direction, and crew work I was lucky enough to experience!

Quick Depression And Acting Update
My tropical depression has flared up recently. And I haven’t been able to use it in the play. Bob Ewell with an anxiety disorder just doesn’t work.
“I can’t go into that courtroom! What if I’m not convincing on the stand? MAYELLA! Where’s my Klonopin?!?!”
So many comments for this photo… but I’ll hold back because you’re so nice :) You know what those eyes say though… haha… “Hey girl… wanna go back to my place…?”
“We can go back to my place…to beat my daughter and frame a black man for it.”

Forgot my contact lenses for tonight’s performance of “To Kill A Mockingbird.”
Thankfully my “Drunk” Bob Ewell has a similar gait to my “Blind As A Fucking Bat And Terrified That He’s Going To Fall Off The Fucking Stage” Bob Ewell.

Tonight we start the second weekend of “To Kill A Mockingbird.”
So after next week I’ll no longer be acting like an ignorant, racist child abuser.
Yep. No more ACTING like one.

Anyone who has done theater knows what it’s like to only know your fellow performers by their roles. Lots of times you’ll see your castmates years later and greet them by their character names.
Which is going to be a problem since I call most of the African Americans in the cast n*****.

Went to audition for Atticus Finch. Got cast as Bob Ewell.
Because it’s hard to see me as one of the most noble, heroic characters ever written. But ignorant, racist hillbilly who lives in the city dump and physically abuses his own daughter?
Apparently I pull that off rather convincingly.
