Groucho

It's been a wild ride over the last month-and-a-half. In the last two weeks of Beyond Therapy at Bay Theatre in Annapolis, MD, I also rehearsed Groucho at Wayside Theatre in Middletown, VA, over a hundred miles away. Beyond Therapy closed on March 20th, and Groucho opened on the 27th, only a week later.

Groucho really got positive reviews in the Northern Virginia Daily, and particularly in the Winchester Star:
     "Peter Boyer is the perfect Groucho Marx." -- FC Lowe

And then another from the Warren County Report (p. 8):
     "Peter Boyer . . . IS Groucho." -- Malcolm Barr

And then there was an interview on "Talk of the Town with Barry Lee" on Winchester's ABC station. A very fun interview, with host Barry Lee, director Warner Crocker, and me in character as Groucho. The interview is the first 7 minutes of the program, and I hope you'll give it a look, HERE.

And I've received so many compliments from folks involved with the show and folks who've seen the show that I'm quite simply stunned by it all. And I have the great fortune to be working with a bunch of generous and talented folks.

We close on Saturday, April 23rd, and if I hope you'll see it if you have the chance. For more info and tix, go to Wayside Theatre's website. And if you'd like to see some of John Westervelt's excellent pictures from the show, go HERE.
