By John Kennedy Toole
Adapted by W. Kenneth Holditch,
Directed by Perry Martin
6 PERFORMANCES ONLY!!!
New Orleans Theatre Critics claim “Ignatius J. Riley is the role McConnell was born to play. Each time I read the book, I hear his voice & always will.”  Film, TV, Stage and Radio personality John “Spud” McConnell leads a costumed stage reading of John Kennedy Toole’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel.  Sold out annual performances at the Tennessee Williams Festival as well as evenings in theatres across South Louisianahave entertained audiences with non-stop laughter & zaniness that Director Perry Martin declares is “spontaneous, surprising& completely uncontrollable with every appearance. My control as a director stops when the lights go up on this cast. It’s like directing the Marx Brothers. It’s a constant battle to see who’s having more fun, the audience or the actors on stage. The audience wins hands down each night.”

”As the cast share gaffes & adlibs with the crowd, the audience laughs even harder, if such a thing is possible.” David Cuthbert – Times Picayune
