Major League I and IIDangerfield's and ZANIES Comedy Clubs — Olivia Newton-John — The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson — Jazz — The New Colony Six — Magic — A devastating accident
Question — what do ALL the above and more have in common?
Answer — SKIP GRIPARIS! Yes — he's had NINE LIVES — all featured in his smart, clean, funny, touching, inspiring play with (and about) music!
"REMARKABLE...CAN'T MISS...UNIQUE COMEDY-MUSIC-THEATER-BREW. FASCINATING, WONDERFUL MUSIC...CONSIDERABLE WRITING TALENT."
Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune       WGN Radio
"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!"
"INSPIRING"
Corinne Reynolds       Lakeland Press
