Send us Fan MailBehind The Stooges in The Villages: Wayne Richards Wayne Richards on Bringing ‘The Three Stooges Move to The Villages’ to the StageMike Roth introduces Season 8 of Villages Vitality Life: Senior Life Unscripted and interviews Villager Wayne Richards about his music-industry background and local theater work. Richards discusses his new comedy play, The Three Stooges Move to The Villages, explaining its premise (the Stooges struggle to separate their on-stage behavior from real life), its shift from an earlier title, and its intended mix of humor and heart. He shares performance dates and venues in May (Hacienda May 1, Lake Miona May 8, and Rohan May 11 and 15) and directs listeners to ActingOutTheaterClub.com for times and tickets. Richards describes the cast playing Moe (Howard Tolman), Curly (Alan Rosenchin), and Larry (Fred Solano), plus supporting characters, minimal sets across multiple theaters, and some flexible, improv-like moments. The conversation also includes light banter about The Villages, Chicago, and Portillo’s.00:00 Season 8 Kickoff00:49 Palm Trees and Weather01:31 Wayne Music Career02:27 New Show in Villages03:01 Story and Premise04:40 Title Change Explained05:31 Dates Tickets Venues06:32 Chicago Food and Beer07:56 Show Length Format09:39 Alzheimers Research Tip10:49 Meet the Stooges Cast13:25 Fountain of Youth Twist14:25 Stooges In The Villages14:38 Meet The Supporting Cast15:50 Minimal Set Big Focus16:20 Sound Mic Strategy17:35 Scripted With Surprises18:46 Director Onstage Bits20:14 Stooges Film Restorations22:00 Alligator Stage Gag22:59 Encore And Future Plans26:29 Tickets And Final Laughs27:52 Show Wrap And CreditsSeason 8 IntroductionSupport the showOpen Forum in The Villages, Florida is Produced & Directed by Mike RothA new episode will be released most Fridays at 9 AMDirect all questions and comments to mike@rothvoice.comIf you know a Villager who should appear on the show, please contact us at: mike@rothvoice.com
