As we reported during SXSW, The Visitor star Richard Jenkins did some time at the Dallas Theater Center (Former DTC honcho Adrian Hall worked extensively with Jenkins at the Trinity Square Repertory Company in Providence). Hall once brought Jenkins out to Big D to act in Sam Shepard's Fool For Love. Keep reading for a funny Jenkins anecdote on DTC's sometimes-squeamish audiences. "I remember at the Dallas Theater Center I was doing Fool for Love, and my character had a shotgun. There was a lot of swearing in the play, so some guy in the second row got up and said, 'this is disgusting.' He made a real scene. He was talking to himself and walking up the aisle, and so I cocked the gun and aimed it at him. "The audience started to laugh, and he turned around and looked at me. Then somebody in the audience yelled, 'pull the trigger!' As I recall he ran out of the theater." |
