[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Seaside, FL - Imagine that every day, you awakened with no memory of who you are, where you are, how you got there, or what to do next. That's the premise of the surreal and hilarious comedy Fuddy Meers, which opens at the Seaside Repertory Theatre on Wednesday June 11, at 7:30pm. Fuddy Meers will run Wednesdays through Saturdays through July 26 at 7:30pm in the Meeting Hall Theatre. Tickets are $20 for members, and $24 for guests, and can be purchased online at www.seasiderep.org, or by calling the box office at 850-231-0733. The Rep's 2008 season has been sponsored by Pizitz Home and the Cottage Rental Agency.

The play tells the story of Claire, an amnesiac played by Rep newcomer Lacey Morgan Renteria, awaking in a strange room, with a strange man and an angry boy. Claire suffers from a strange form of amnesia which causes her slate to be wiped clean every evening while sleeping. If that sounds strange, then wait until you meet the rest of the oddball cast that includes a limping, lisping, deformed kidnapper (David Hopkins) and his moronic, foul-mouthed-puppet-wielding accomplice (Kevin Boyle). Fuddy Meers (which means "funny mirrors" in stroke-talk) is a laugh-a-minute roller coaster ride, the likes of which Rep audiences have never seen. Due to some strong language, mostly by the puppet, parental discretion is advised.


"....heady fun....fresh, zingy dialogue, which revels in warping the language of self-help books....Like the resourceful chef who turns leftovers into haute cuisine, Mr. Lindsay-Abaire blends clich?d ingredients into something savory and distinctive....[a] dark, sweet and thoroughly engaging comedy."
-NY Times

Opening Night is members-only, with a reception preceding the show. To purchase tickets, call the box office at 231-0733.

The play was awesome...a bit quirky, crazy, dark, insightful and funny. It is so many things all rolled into one that it is too hard to explain. Hop was AMAZING and, as every one says...totally hot even as a scary, limping, lisping, deformed bully! ;-)
Kevin was incredible with his "puppet" :lol:
Everyone performed exceptionally :clap:

I enjoyed seeing my SoWal friends and meeting new ones!
(Watercourseway :wave:)
I still wish that at least ONE restaurant would remain open at Seaside on play nights until 11:00...laughing that hard works up an appetite :roll: Someone is missing the boat on that one!!!!!:blink: :idontno:

I second all of that. The show was fantastic as always. It's amazing how a hunk like Hop could look so creepy :rofl::clap: You forgot spitting when he talked. :funn:

Ditto on the late night food emporium! Show starts to early to eat first, then you drink at the show, then you socialize. Then you're famished! We need substantial food at 11PM!

how do you compete with this?!?

Wow, I've never seen that one but we did have the pleasure of seeing a very "special" Biff video these past week. :rofl: plus I had the pleasure of seeing the live event every day :biggrin: Biff is just so happy and crazy but he's a Libra!!!!!:lolabove:

I was very disruptive on Saturday night with my histerical laughing but nothing new there! The show was awesome. I'm partial to the lisper and the puppet man.
