"THE BEST THING ABOUT 'MAJOR LEAGUE II' IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BOB UECKER AND SKIP GRIPARIS"
Roger Ebert Siskel and Ebert |
| The most easy-to-present show — simply Skip, his 3½-octave voice, and his great guitar! Exceptional, original songs — jazz that EVERYONE can enjoy — highlight this fast-moving, 75-minute play. A kaleidoscopic epic of Skip's unusual perseverance and self-reinvention in love and the arts. |
"A GIFTED SINGER AND A GREAT PICKER...EXCELLENT, INCISIVE COMEDY" Josh Dunson Chicago Magazine |
| Griparis shares unlikely romances, show-biz anecdotes, exhilarating triumphs and crushing setbacks, with integrity, heart and humor. Says Skip, "When life lands you in a lemon-meringue pie...man, I got NOTHIN', here...no, you LICK it off and move on! I know ELVIS would!" |
