[/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.

BB- based on our antics post show w/ oven mitts and socks, once you have the puppet you will be so inspired you won't need lessons!

I'll give you $22.50 if it comes with Kevin. (I'll throw in an extra two bits if Kevin comes with manacles.)

I heard that last night's show was extra-good.

As a sanitary reminder for you people participating in puppet auction, other hands have been up that puppet's butt!

I do not wish to be auctioned off. I was auctioned in high-school (football team fundraiser, and probably politically incorrect today), and busted my chops pulling weeds for a farmer one year and cleaning a ladies house of spider webs, washing windows, cleaning gutters, washing cars, etc. Thanks, but no thanks, and I don't care for the hand up the .... :eek:, thank you very much.

The first time I saw the play, I left with similar thoughts, but after seeing it the third time, it occurred to me that Kevin's character may be the most sane one in the bunch, as freaky as he may have been.



Someone posted earlier that the show closes on Sunday, but I thought it ends on Saturday. Will a REP person please clarify that for those who are trying to see the show?

NoHall, a dollar will get you the opening bid on a sweaty ski-mask used in the play by an actor who has played on a major soap opera. lol. So, we have an opening bid of a dark-colored ski-mask. Who will bid higher?

Gross. I've been around enough of his sweat to last me a lifetime. Keep the mask with my blessing. I'll clean out the couch and bid $1.35 for you, though. I need some sort of guarantee that you'll be around next time I'm in town. You amuse me. :wave:

Kitty, I cannot recall for sure, but I may have taken some pics of the play for you. The cast was so great that I wanted everyone to still be surprised when they saw the play in person. I'll see if I can dig them out of the mega-drive.
