I’ve seen the behind-the-scenes at some community theaters, and, frankly, I’m not surprised that Larry at least got a try-out. But he seems “not right” for any part in Mary Poppins!

I bet he heard “Mary Poppins,” and saw the poster of a lady flying in the air….He put two and two together, which in his mind is…. I dunno, maybe 7 and 1/2.
"Hey, dis play all about somebody pop dis flying lady in sky!
Oooh… me want part poppin her! Pop pop pop! Lotsa poppins."

Perhaps Larry could “accidentally” pop off some people if he got the lead roll, and just crashed into people as he was flying around in his magic umbrella.

And noone actually noticed that ‘I-am-freakin-art-community-director’ kind of guy. He’s brilliant!

Larry could be one of the first nannys that the children run off or in the cartoon sequence as a penguin.
Number Three over 12 years ago
Rat would be perfect in the theatre.
He could play a baddie.
LOL xxx

Is there a community play version of “The Expendables”. Larry would be excellant for that.
Sherlock Watson over 12 years ago
He might prefer Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; the flying car would really make zeeba-hunting easier.

Larry gives very clear directions for writing a script that actors will LOVE…
Casey Southards over 12 years ago
Larry is wacko.
