Leading Orlando actor, Philip Nolen, stars in the fantastic Patron's Pick, "My Monster," in the Blue Venue. In this Clockwork Hobo production, he plays a washed-out screenwriter who refuses to show that he is past his prime, even though his heydays were long ago. Will Hagaman plays Nolen's creation, as he demonstrates to the audience just how easy it is to write a screenplay by first creating a character, a character who does things...
And so, the audience meets Spike Flambo, a screenwriter by day and paid assassin by night, with a bad back. This is only the beginning of the hilarity you can expect to see in this push and pull between creator and monster. "My Monster" shows how a story can take on a life of its own, and characters themselves are often the ones who make the storyline. Creative dialogue weaves with short action sequences, drama and even *gasp* a bedroom scene (you just have to see it for yourself). Come expecting to laugh and see the amazing talent you have come to expect from the likes of Nolen and prepare to be impressed by Hagaman's execution of his character creation.
The show has sold out three times already and has a performance today at 2:45 and an encore performance on Monday for Patron's Pick.
