Day 9 CW: The final picture depicts a moment from the play. But it could be triggering. The Foreigner, by Larry Shue. I loved doing this show. It was comedy. I have had few opportunities to do outright comedy over the years, so I still look back fondly on this one. I was playing an incredibly bad guy, which would be my comfort zone for the next 30 years. A bunch of racist pieces of sh!t got their come-uppance. Sandi Zielinski came to see it to adjudicate it, and because of that I ended up going to ISU (I was a terrible procrastinator when it came to college, didn’t even take my ACT until December of my senior year, and then only reason I would get into ISU was because the theatre department took me) and the rest of my life happened. I was already familiar with the show since my brother had performed it at College of DuPage months earlier. I still remember certain lines to this day, even though I haven’t looked at the script since 1988. Of course the character I played was, as stated previously a racist piece of sh!t, so there is a picture of me in a Klan robe in the year book. That’s weird. #theforeigner #larryshue #1988 #glenbardeasthighschool #owenmusser #thebeescomesdown #badguy #theatre #alifeinthetheatre #actorslife #performer (at Glenbard East High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4FRNEDJpIK/?igshid=12behkmtjfelw
