  3. Vicky & Sula [One of the most memorable No Shame sketches. Vicky Hendricks, now a successful novelist, didn't tell us who Sula was in advance. She walked into the theater with a gym bag, no additional actor in sight. When it was time for Vicky & Sula to take the stage, she carried on the gym bag...but still no Sula. We were a little concerned. As an open performance venue (we didn't even require scripts), the theater could be a dangerous space. Sula was inside the gym bag. It was Vicky's pet ferret. She held the ferret and pulled a tiny pair of paper rabbit ears out of the bag and placed them over its head. And, together, they told the story of Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch. Vicky would talk, doing the narrator, the Brer Fox, and Brer Bear voices (and not much difference between them). When it was time for Brer Rabbit to speak, she would hold Sula-rabbit ears in place-in front of her, and bounce the ferret up and down to indicate he was speaking. Vicky didn't even try to pretend she wasn't speaking or to alter her voice. Once the ears fell off and Vicky bent down to retrieve them. Once they spun around on Sula's head, pointing downward towards the stage, and she spun them back to the top. And Vicky, who that evening carried an air of "White Southern Cracker" could not have been a less appropriate person to tell that tale in a PC world. It was hilarious.]

Best of No Shame
February 25 & 26, 1994
- [Area Stage]
[special anniversary performance]
[order missing]

"I joined the group in August of 1994, so No Shame had been around at least a year before I got there. It was my very first acting and writing experience and proved to be extremely important in launching my career. It was much more of an educational experience for me, as I had no prior training. I learned from my fellow actors and writers and built upon their teachings after No Shame disbanded and I helped found a new theatre group. Today, I'm a SAG actor in Los Angeles but my real credits are in writing. I've optioned a screenplay to MGM/UA (still in development hell) and just recently came in 3rd place in TVWriter.com's first Spec Scriptacular for a "Bernie Mac" spec script. A second script is currently a finalist at Writesafe.com." ---Adam "Bones" Libarkin
