Jim Brochu has won raves from all our local critics and audiences for his powerful, hysterical, and astounding performance as Broadway veteran and painter Zero Mostel in Zero Hour, now at Theater J. Joel Markowitz had his own Zero Hour when he sat down with actor Jim Brochu and director Piper Laurie at Theater J. They schmoozed about creating and fine-tuning the Theater J production, the Off-Broadway run which opens November 14th at the Theatre of St. Clement’s Church, their careers in film and theatre, and the DC audiences who are applauding Jim’s performance. Piper was smitten the first time she saw Zero Mostel, and, for Jim, who, at 14, literally ran into the man backstage at A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, it marked the beginning of a long friendship. Who better, then, to create Zero Hour? “He was such a force of nature, and such a good actor, and so committed to what he was doing.  He could make you laugh one minute, and cry the next minute.” Listen in while Jim and Piper talk about all things Zero in Part One of this revealing chat with Jim Brochu and Piper Laurie. Part Two, coming soon, will share more stories from the careers of these theatre treasures. -------------- Have you ever wished you could see one of Joel's podcasts? Steve Schalchlin, Jim's wonderful partner was there videotaping,  and cut together this video of one of the many funny moments in the show.  As many of you may know, Steve is Jim's life partner and co-wrote and performed The Big Voice: God or Merman? with him in LA and New York.  This is truly a man that it can be said 'To know him is to love him.' His website Living in the Bonus Round, is one of my  favorite sites. Related: Watch this moment from Zero Hour as Zero talks about Jerome Robbins Zero Hour Reviews DCTS review Lisa Traiger .

Priceless Moments with Robert Prosky, Andrew and John Prosky and Leisa Mather By Joel Markowitz These interviews take us inside the hearts and minds of each of the play's characters to examine the intricacies of Arthur Miller's The Price: Robert Prosky as the furniture dealer Solomon, Andrew and John Prosky as the brothers Victor and Walter and Lisa Mather as Victor's long-suffering wife. And the actors look back on their careers. Robert Prosky has been exploring the character of Solomon for 15 years. Listen as he explains the humor and pathos of the old man. This production is a rare Prosky family affair. What is this father's experience performing with his sons? Mr. Prosky tells us his reaction when he son said he wanted to be an actor. And he gives advice to actors - whether they be young or in mid-career.   Sibling rivalry plays a big part in The Price and brothers Andrew and John didn't have to dig deep for material. Interviewed separately because Andrew's plane was late, it's fun to hear the similarities and differences as they talk about the father, their careers and their children. One thing they have in common is that they owe their first love of theatre to being backstage at Arena Stage.   Bubbly Leisa Mather is nothing like the long-suffering wife she plays. Re-connecting from the last time Joel saw her in Forbidden Broadway - Special Victims Unit Leisa offers up some of the stars she parodied in the long-running biting show.

In an hysterical interview with Joel Markowitz, the star of Comedy Central specials, host of The View and HBO's At the Multiplex talks about having, knowing, and being a Jewish mother. She's bluntly honest, emotional,  and did we mention funny? as she talks about Barbra, Golda, her family and all those Jewish mothers whose stories helped her create the show. Listen and laugh. 25 Questions runs thru Feb 24th at Theater J For more on the show, go to the 25 Questions official website. Read the DCTS review here.
