Compared To Big Blue Bloggers, You Seem Cool

Posted by fringefamous on 15th April 2008

The Guthrie’s Big Blue Blog is back and it’s just as stupid as ever. I’ve posted some highlights below. Feel free to punish yourself with the entirety of it by clicking here.

Ian Holcomb (Mustardseed)

Q: Favorite movie?

A: Gosford Park (ed. note — Adorable.)

Q: What’s the last book you read?

A: This will sound nerdy…but it was A Life in the Theater, by Sir Tyrone Guthrie. I highly recommend it. (ed. note — In the words of Flavor Flav, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.)

Q: Shaw or Chekov?

A: Depends on the day…but generally I’m a bigger Chekov fan. (ed. note — Only the Guthrie would ask this question. If I was having a conversation with someone and they asked me “So…Shaw or Chekov?” I would immediately punch them in the face.)

Mike Rasmussen (Moth)

Q: What is always in your dressing room?

A: Ghetto Blaster. My guitar. Harmonica. Computer. Briefcase. (ed. note — He forgot the most recent issue of Douche Bag Monthly.)

Q: Favorite place at the Guthrie?

A: Onstage. There’s nothing like it. (ed. note — I believe at the Guthrie, it’s pronounced “stahge”…but I could be wrong.)

Q: Is there a local actor you haven’t worked with, but want to?

A: Jim Lichtscheidl, Dean Holt, Stacia Rice, Joe Dowling. (ed. note — Jim Lichtscheidl is playing “Peter Quince” and Joe Dowling directed the show.)

Brandon Weinbrenner (Cobweb)

Q: What’s the most cringe-inducing thing you’ve ever said or done in front of Joe Dowling?

A: I was drunk during a graduation ceremony senior year in the BFA program and I said something to the extent of… “okay, so now you HAVE to cast me.” (ed. note — See this post.)
