I Know The Art of Fleecing Men (Joko as Frosine)
Ahhhh… what joy there is to be had up on the stage, particularly in a small-time, community theatre production such as the one I am in now. I’ve run into dozens of people in my life who so want to make a living as entertainers, and setting aside any narcissistic desire for fame and adoration, they, like me, simply love the art and craft of performing. Who wouldn’t want to get paid to do what they love? I suspect, however, that once acting becomes a job, some of the joy disappears. Not that any of that affects how well one performs, and certainly those who CAN make a living at it are, by definition, very good at their craft, but the innocence, the pure intentions and child-like enthusiasm one encounters in community theatre is probably not duplicated in the professional shows.
I will eventually produce a blog where you can see the entirety of our student organization’s production of The Miser, but for now, as this is my blog, I will start with my entrance.
The story thus far is that Harpagon, an elderly, miserly gentleman has declared his intention to seek the hand in marriage of Marianne, a comely newcomer to Paris. Unbeknownst to Harpagon, his son, Cleante has also fallen for Marianne and she for him. This will cause many complications later in play, but for now, we get a status update from the intriguing Frosine, whom Harpagon has enlisted to act as matchmaker between Marianne and himself.
Harpagon has just received a large amount of cash (10,000 Francs), and the sanctity of his hiding place is more important than talking to Frosine, who enters here. Instead, Frosine (an alcoholic who cannot go more than 10 minutes without hitting the flask secured in her voluptuous bosom) encounters LaFleche, valet to Cleante, and a man (played by Katherine) who does not hold a very high regard for the miserly Harpagon.
Frosine does her very best to alleviate Harpagon’s misgivings and show him how much of an advocate she is for him. Of course, she is setting him up to ask for the reward she really deserves and needs quite desperately.
Oh, The “Justin Bieber” line… my idea.
Ofcourse…lol……Bieber….omg lol how I loathe him…………..none the less.
Fleecing men by touching their what….emotions….ohhhhhh I think not,in fact me thinks
thou…(Frosine)….touches far more than mere emotions……lololol….may I be soooo bold.Although one can not see how given her enormous bosom we see in your reenactment of her,
you J. are lucky you yourself did not lose an eye during your performance of her,but for the lack of a chilling blast of frigid air had one nipple hardened you would have …those are enormous….frankly I would be afraid to fall asleep in the same room with them for fear of them turning on me as I slept….lolololol
However I think you did a fine job of it as far as I can see….I cannot wait to watch the entire performance at later date,albeit even for a small a fee such as NetFlix changes it would be well worth it.You might want to consider charging J….after all times are tight right now,well anyways just a suggestion…loloool :groovy:

Haha! Joko, you are great! If they ever do a remake of Pinocchio, you HAVE to go for the role of Madam Flambeau!
😆 😆 U’re so natural on the scene ,I’ll say it was a very difficult role and you’re very talented.Congrads.
So what character is the young lady playing?
Have you considered scanning and posting the ‘whatever the handout is called when you walk in the door’… at baseball games its called a program.
I take the young lady is playing a young man?
I enjoyed that, a lot….
Move over, Madea…a star is born!

BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! I thoroughly enjoyed that!!! You did a great job. I can’t wait to see the whole thing!!
Just a little tip, applying some anti-perspirant under that bra would have worked wonders.
