SHITTY AWFUL EVERYTHING GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE

Shitty Awful Everything

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-

Mere days before the premiere of SHITTY AWFUL EVERYTHING, actor extraordinaire and enfant terrible Jake Busey has been booted from the show! Busey had been tapped to replace three actors who had walked from the project earlier this week, but after certain things had come to light, Busey was also asked to leave the show.

When asked to comment on those certain things, director Kyle Cooper had this to say, “Chiefly we learned that Jake Busey wasn’t who he said he was. Turns out it actually was Gary Busey doing an impression of his son, and nobody noticed.”

When asked how Busey got away with the deception for a few days, playwright Kevin Swanstrom said. “It was uncanny. Like father, like son, I guess. You really can’t tell them a part. I’ve tried— I looked at side by side pictures of them and I still can’t do it.”

“I just feel so deceived,” Cooper commented, “Truly, I’m heartbroken.” Beyond this deception however, some of Busey’s rehearsal antics have come to light, which one can assume also lead to his dismissal from the project. Assistant director Cade Peterson commented, saying, “He would bring live horses into the theatre and periodically slurp blood from a nick on their ears like a vampire bat. He called it his ‘paleo’ diet and would cackle. I still remember that cackle. It curdles my blood to this day. Another time though, it wasn’t a horse. This one time, he brought a burro.”

How will the cast recover from all these behind-the-scenes shenanigans come opening night? Only one way to find out! Come see SHITTY AWFUL EVERYTHING this Friday night @ 10pm at the OMR Theatre.
