Break Out the Polka Dot Underwear

Hi How Are YouJust how much do you know about local artist Daniel Johnston? Enough to play Captain America or Joe the Boxer on stage? Convincingly?

If you happen to have two Johnston pieces in your repertoire, check out this little gem we spotted in the current issue of the Austin Chronicle:

"After two wildly successful runs at Houston's Axiom last year, Jason Nodler's original rock opera Speeding Motorcycle, based on the life and music of Daniel Johnston, is coming to the Zach Scott Theatre in February. All roles, including Joe the Boxer, Captain America, and Casper the Friendly Ghost, are available. Auditions are by appointment only and take place Saturday. Performers should prepare two Johnston original pieces, with bonus points for faithful renditions of 'King Kong.' More information is available at www.zachscott.com."

We couldn't find any other details on Zach's website, but if you want to audition, try calling them up! 476-0541.

Man, I want one of those "hi how are you" frogs. I'm especially in love with the true-to-form, googly eyeballs.

 

I want one too, but I don't think that's a frog. I think it's an alien he brought back on his roooooooooooockeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet ship.
