Among the many things I highly recommend on this blog is Zero Hour, a play by and starring my longtime friend, Jim Brochu. It's a one-man show and since that man is Zero Mostel, the stage seems crowded just with him and his many dimensions. Jim, who knew Zero, somehow transforms himself into the legendary actor as he speaks of art, life, blacklisting, theater and other topics of vital interest. He's lately been touring in the play and if he comes your way, go see him.
Attention, those of you in San Francisco: He's coming your way! He'll do three performances at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco from October 21 to 23. You can order tickets here and while you're at it, you can visit a gallery showing of paintings and sketches by the late Mr. Mostel that will be there until mid-November. I have to teach a seminar in cartoon voice acting that weekend or I'd fly up just to see Jim do this show again. It's that good.
