FIRST SEASON - 2001

poster Friday, April 27th, 2001 - [Live Arts B]
[First No Shame in Charlottesville]
"Well, last night's great experiment was pretty successful, I thought. 8 pieces and a great variety among them. Let's see, there was a three scene short play, a couple of monologues, dancing hands, some singing, some guitars--a kooky crazy mix." ---Ristau
1) Stan Jankaitis - Jeb and the Bank Loan
(performed by Todd Ristau, J.D. Ruelle, Paul Southerington and Rod Waterman)
[A weird little three scene play about a guy geting a bank loan.]
2) Jeff Syte - Hands
[a hand mime jive to classical music.]
3) Laura Storm - Untitled scene on a bus
(acted by J.D. Ruelle and Todd Ristau)
4) Sal Milione - Thoughts
[song with guitar "Right Brain Spatial Relationship Musings put into words....something like that..."]

5) Christina Sayer - Me -&- My Shadow
[not a song and dance routine, but sort of scary piece toying with the lack of light.]
6) Mary Fries - Fumes in a Dark Room
7) Sage Merritt - Untitled piece with a phone
8) Todd Ristau - the green man
[Yes, its an oldie but a goodie. The hospital worker who runs the incinerator.]

Friday, May 4th, 2001 - [Live Arts B]
1) Vanessa Nickens - Wanted - [a monologue about a want ad]
2) Todd Ely - Untitled - [3 minutes of Todd staring into the audience with deep concentration, ending with a gesture and a question about "the bags". It rocked.]
3) Alison Taylor - Cutting from the smoking play
4) Clinton A. Johnston - Taking Sides - [a nice monologue which was hurt by the actress announcing unexpectedly before the monologue that she was not a racist. This really undercut the the effectiveness of the piece. Clinton hammered back several beers. This one deserves a second chance with an actress who doesn't grossly underestimate the audience's ability to separate character from actor on stage.]
5) Jennifer Funk - [No Title] - [great monologue about a kid who "does bad things." Spooky. Come back Jennifer Funk!]
6) Laura Storm - I Always Loved Teaching - [monologue about a teacher confronting school violence.]
7) Ayesha Muhammad - My Job - [A guardian Angel is frustrated at work.]
8) Todd Ristau - Rabbit - [yes, the one I can do blind drunk and half asleep--and have done a number of times...its an oldie but a goodie and everything is new in Charlottesville.]

Friday, May 11th, 2001 - [Live Arts B]
1) Todd Ristau - Bench

2) Justin Wolf, Morgan Shook - Soap Opera
[Our first multi media piece with a monitor and camera focusing on the audience while the actors provide narration. Very wonderful.]
3) Clinton Johnston - Letter to Major Oglethorpe, Army Intelligence
[Read by Scott Silet. A high ranking general is pissed about Survivor the tv show demonstrating that gay men and women represent the superior elements of our nation's population.]
4) Jennifer Funk - Scary Kid at Home
[the kid from last week interacts with his sister....he still does bad things.]
5) Sal Milione - All Your Love

9:52 pm, Friday, August 10, 2001
"No Shame continues to slowly grow in Charlottesville.  
Something that I am really psyched about is that the last three 
weeks in a row, we have had first time writers testing the waters 
at No Shame.  That's great.  A lot of credit goes to Todd's brilliant 
door prize idea.  

"For those of you in other No Shames, this is how it works. Each week, we give as a door prize, a prop from Todd's prop closet (14 years in the making) that has been in one of Todd's shows. The person who gets the prop gets to keep it if the next week, that person comes back with a piece that uses that prop. If they don't come up with a piece, they've got to bring the prop back to put it back into the kitty. (Of course, we haven't figured out how to enforce this second rule.) We've been doing this for about ten weeks and have only had one prop not come back yet. I am so proud of Charlottesville!!" ---Clint Johnston
