Mary Kay Latourneau Story: A Karaoke Musical

Mary Kay! The teacher who slept with her student! 12 years old no less. Well, it was bound to happen, making a show out of this silly lady.
Last year we improv'd (or improved as it were) a completely hilarious show about Mary Kay Latourneau.
Filled with characters including, Steve, Mary Kay's husband, John Schmitz, her father and Michelle, her best friend. I played the senile grandmother of Steve Latourneau, Nana Nadine. A character very close to my heart even if she was crazy. Also under my wing was Peter the cop. A very nice cop just havin the time of his life. Men are always fun to play, so I had a great time with him as well.
Mary Kay was such a fun show. No show could be better as my premiere in Chicago. The "Big City". And tomorrow is the last day of the Mary Kay show! Sad. Yes. But we did get a couple of awesome reviews!!!
Here are a couple!

TimeOut Chicago

"Leslie Nesbit breathes new life into the senile grandmother stereotype, unblinkingly dropping punch lines on everything from dead cats to sexual acrobatics." -Brian Golden

Centerstage Chicago

"
coping with her befuddled grandmother Nana Nadine (one of several roles skillfully played by Leslie Nesbit)" - Colin Douglas


Well, There it is! One of my favorite shows I have ever done. I couldn't have asked for more of a great time. Seriously. Cause, well I can't ask for stuff like that. mwa hahahaa. :0)

This is where I tell you how cool I am.

So here it is, I'm trying to make one of those Actors/cast me/i'm cool blogs.
Alas, I'm not to good at html or the sorts so this page was not designed by me.

So how do I tell you who I am without telling to much?
Questions.

1. What? You're an actor? Sure, what have you done?

Oh my gosh, what Haven't I done is more like it! Ha! I'm mainly into sketch comedy and improvisation. Although I've dabbled in standup a few times, successfully I might add, of course it could have been because my friends were in the audience. But hey, if you friends don't think you are hilarious who will? hm. I didn't answer that question.

2. Yeah, but thats nothing with out education...

I have a BFA in theatre performance from Eastern New Mexico University. Yeah, I do. From good ol Portales New Mexico.
Some of my favorite roles were : Karen/Jake's Women , Gogo/Waiting for Godot, and Charlotte/Beyond Therapy

3. Really? wow, what ELSE do you do?

I play piano. I write. I cannot do cartwheels.

4. Dang. Well thank you for this short interview, how can I contact you?

You can email me by commenting here, or visit my awesome myspace page (because who Doesn't have one?) at www.myspace.com/a27monkey

Well, folks I have to go enter data. Thanks for tuning in, I hope to make this page an entertaining one as well as one I can use to get cast somewhere.
Good times people, good times...
