This is the first in a series of “Ask the Cast and Crew”
One of the questions we are most frequently asked about our show, The Complete History of America, Abridged, is: What is your favorite part/scene/character? Answering this week is actor, Ross Martineau:
Our show is so high energy and kinetic- lots of quick costume changes and scene changes. And I’m a sucker for slapstick, which occurs throughout the show. BUT- that being said, I’d have to say my favorite part of the play is the Radio Show. [Spoiler Alert] We do a ten minute riff on a radio show that covers the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s. It’s a spoof of the old-timey serial radio shows in the vein of the Lone Ranger or Hopalong Cassidy. There is very little movement, but the writing is So clever and witty, it makes me laugh inside, every week! I also love that the three of us (Ross and fellow cast members Jeff Demma and Nellie Foster) are on stage the entire time, taking on a cast of madcap characters ranging from Dodge Rambler Boy Buckaroo to Jedger (sic) Hoover to Eva Braun to Rock Fury Super G.I. F. D. R. makes an appearance and Alan Alda is even referenced for good measure. It really is a hoot.
I hope you all come see the show! One of the best things to do on Kauai! Every Tuesday evening at the Aston Aloha Beach Hotel. The most fun you can have after dark and still keep your clothes on!
Aloha and I look forward to seeing you Tuesday!
Ross

People often ask what we do in our spare time. Well, Jeff and I are once again hitting the road for the Paradise Ride Kauai 2011 – a 110 mile bike ride on August 6th & 7th.
