| Major League I and II — Dangerfield's and ZANIES Comedy Clubs — Olivia Newton-John — The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson — The New Colony Six — 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 witty, touching, smart, clean, stimulating play with music! He’s done what no one has done before — combined hilarious stand-up comedy, a dazzling jazz score, and an amazing life story! |
| "REMARKABLE...CAN'T MISS...UNIQUE COMEDY-MUSIC-THEATER-BREW. FASCINATING, WONDERFUL MUSIC...CONSIDERABLE WRITING TALENT."
|
| "THE BEST THING ABOUT 'MAJOR LEAGUE II' IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BOB UECKER AND SKIP GRIPARIS"
|
| So easy to present! Give Skip a chair, a table, a mic — he supplies his incredible 3½-octave voice and his great guitar! Ten terrific, original, lyrical jazzy songs with the rare quality of being hum-able and sophisticated, highlight this fast-moving, 80-minute play. |
| "A GIFTED SINGER AND A GREAT PICKER...EXCELLENT, INCISIVE COMEDY" |
| A kaleidoscopic epic of extraordinary perseverence and self-reinvention in love and the arts! 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" |
