Tom Wahl Is His Own Cast In Zoetic’s “I Am My Own Wife”
Audiences often marvel at actors’ ability to memorize long speeches and complex dialogue. But few memorization jobs are as daunting as that of I Am My Own Wife. When Tom Wahl stands alone for two hours in the spotlight in Zoetic Stage’s production this week, he not only portrays the elderly German transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, but a gallery of 36 distinct, disparate characters (or is it 37 or 34; Wahl and director Stuart Meltzer aren’t sure).

Talkin’ in the Green Room With: Gregg Weiner
A colleague recently referred to Gregg Weiner as South Florida’s Gene Hackman – always working, highly-respected, focused, intense, funny, an actor who brings a character actor’s technique to leading man parts. Little do they know about his history with puppets, karaoke and perhaps a blow-up doll. Weiner is usually physically recognizable in a role but convincingly inhabits a wide variety of parts from a troubled spouse in Fifty Words to a corporate suit in TV’s Magic City to a sleazy wrestling promoter in The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity. This weekend, Weiner closes a run as a pragmatic lawyer in GableStage’s Race, the fourth role he has done for director Joe Adler this season.
