I've heard the "Artsies" called the "Ratcocs" much, much more than by their actual name, and I always thought "Fartsies" would've been funnier.<br /><br />In any case, I just think it's healthy (and funny) to poke fun at ourselves in a gentle way. It's a good reminder that all our hard work is supposed to be fun.<br /><br />Also, my Fartsie would go to Robin Arthur in Sideways Stories. I love love loved her.Aly Wepplohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431242261315989235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003558331120575193.post-67645548199919060952009-10-20T23:09:15.047-04:002009-10-20T23:09:15.047-04:00No. FARTSIE&S was all about me being an old f...No. FARTSIE&S was all about me being an old fart, not a commentary on the selections made by the RTCC.

I wish I'd seen him in "Hamlet," but it's one of the few shows I missed. I LOVED working with Jeff in "The Lark," at Barksdale Willow Lawn. I'll forever appreciate what a good sport he was in the lead of "No Sex Please, We're British," which I directed horribly at Barksdale Theatre at Hanover Tavern. I was greatly relieved when he not only survived "No Sex," but went on to play McMurphy and Hamlet to great acclaim. Thanks 'Rick for recognizing his talent and terrific work last season.Bruce Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210691426665066387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003558331120575193.post-45334904675416308602009-10-20T13:10:29.758-04:002009-10-20T13:10:29.758-04:00All very worthy, Bruce, but I'd like to add on...All very worthy, Bruce, but I'd like to add one more. Jeff Cole not only did an outstanding job as McMurphy in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", but he twice tackled one of the towering roles in world theatre - Hamlet - and I think he pulled it off both times. It's amazing that his powerful performances did not receive so much as a nomination.'Rick Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350661301557377437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003558331120575193.post-48074459220548627282009-10-20T10:19:58.821-04:002009-10-20T10:19:58.821-04:00I understand there was a pool out there in the com...I understand there was a pool out there in the community where you picked who you thought SHOULD win and who you thought WOULD win.
