Split Britches in Senior Planet

Raven Snook of Senior Planet takes a look at Split Britches' Unexploded Ordnances (UXO) currently in residence workshops on Governors Island prior to performances in The Downstairs @ La MaMa in October 2016.

"Buried potential became both the inspiration for and the focus of Weaver and Shaw’s latest endeavor, “Unexploded Ordnances (UXO),” a series of exploratory workshops with seniors that will provide material for a theatrical production. The term “buried,” Weaver says, refers more to “the fantasy of life as opposed to the lost opportunities of life.” It’s a subtle but important distinction: what you always wanted to do rather than what you didn’t do."

Senior Planet chats with Lois Weaver (a/k/a Tammy WhyNot)

Raven Snook spoke with Lois Weaver (a/k/a Tammy WhyNot) about her new show currently at The First Floor Theatre at La MaMa:

"I’ve used a talk-show format for Tammy shows in the past, but this time I wanted to push myself; this is the most singing Tammy has ever done in a show. The premise is she’s preparing for a concert tour for her comeback album, which is all about getting older and having sex. The audience members are my VIP guests, and I’m running through the songs in advance of the actual performance. I like to think of it as a sound check, which is a great metaphor for life: We work and work and work and finally get it all together, and then the show is over."
