![]() ![]() Right now we’re on the scaled-back side of things, but it still means moving out of the house for several months. It’s a project that has become very large, then scaled back again. We’ve been talking and planning this for so long. This year my husband Michael and I are doing a remodel on our home, and a lot of my energies will be taken up with that. I hope to finish it in the next six months. I have a new vision for it, as a recording with music, and I’m working on that. The workshops helped me understand the dramatic structure of the piece, but at the same time, it stopped being a comedy, and it even stopped needing to be performed in front of a live audience. But I’m going to record it on my own, and by that I mean not in front of an audience. Podcast? Comedy performance? Not sure yet. After many, many workshop presentations this autumn in Los Angeles, I’ve decided to record it as an audio … something. ![]() I just spent a few days in Seattle doing publicity for my show, which I’m looking forward to.Īnd, for a long time now, I’ve been developing and re-working a show called I, as Well. I’m doing Older & Wider February 1 at Seattle’s Neptune Theater. ![]() Here’s hoping the same quality will be captured at The Groundlings. I finally got a recording I liked in NYC at Ars Nova. Something I learned after many recordings of Letting Go of God. When I record for an audio listening experience, I think more about how I sound and less about having high energy than when it’s being recorded for film. On April 6, I’m recording the audio version of the show for Audible - a special performance at The Groundlings Theatre. I hope it’s Amazon or Netflix we will see. This is going to be a big part of my work for the year, getting that show filmed, edited and ready for wherever it will stream. There’s a pop-up window on my website where you can get free tickets or just click here. I’m selling half the seats and giving away the other half. So what is new? I guess my big news is that I’ll be shooting a film version of Julia Sweeney: Older & Wider in Spokane, my hometown, April 2 and 3 at the Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox - where I used to work as an usherette in high school. I want it to be a wonderful, meaningful refuge but I suspect it is not. They’ve had a few provocative scandals in the last few years there’s a school there are several families with many young children. I wish I could know more about that place. But overall, it felt very cult-y and weird and - I may be projecting - the women looked sad and downcast. The Latin was beautiful, and the music sublime. Michael and I even went to a traditional Latin Mass on Christmas morning at Mt. But I’m personally glad to welcome a new year because some things are getting settled that were not settled previously. I hope it’s not a darker chapter as I write, our President is playing with matches in the Middle East. I just love that it’s 2020 because it feels like we’re all turning some important page. In fact 2019 was one of my best years ever. And not just because it looks so good, the 2 2s and the 2 0s. “I don’t know, she was like from Mars to me.I’m so happy it’s 2020. Hooks didn’t have much to do with her either. “Maybe I’m overcompensating,” Jackson said, “because everybody here is dying and going to Hell, and I’m supposed to tell them about Jesus.” According to Jackson, Franken went white, and “he never talked to me again.” ”Īl Franken told Jackson to knock it off with the airhead persona, complaining that he was offended by her ditzy act. When I met her, I was surprised that there was not much difference between what she did in front of the camera and what happened off camera,” Dunn told Salon. “I don’t understand anyone who plays a character in real life unless they’re having an intellectual discussion, which I never had with Victoria. Jackson tried to convert cast members while she was still on the show, gifting everyone audio Bibles for Christmas one year. “And she turned to Jan and said, ‘And you, you’re the devil.’” “Victoria ended up standing on a chair and said Nora was a bitch,” remembered writer Terry Turner. At a cast meeting to discuss improving the show, Jackson put Hooks and Nora Dunn on blast. “It’s like, ‘You’re a grown woman! Use your lower register!’” I just have a particular repulsion to grown women who talk like little girls ,” she said on the record in Live from New York: The Complete Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live. “Victoria Jackson? I thought she had a pretty good gig. ![]()
