Thank you to ALL ARTISTS mentioned in this blog for the gifts you have given to the world and continue to give!

With grateful XOXOXs ,

Please check out my blog celebrating Carol Channing and why I feel she deserves the 2013 Kennedy Center Honor.

http://richardskipper.blogspot.com/2013/05/carol-channing-deserves-2013-kennedy.html

Thank you Terry LaBolt: I would love to see Carol Channing receive the Kennedy Center honor, wouldn't you? Please consider signing. Carol's 50+ years of bringing live theatre out on the road to practically every city in the US has been a rare gift to so many who might never have seen a live show otherwise. I was there for more than 1000 performances of HELLO, DOLLY. She never missed a performance. And she always delivered with an amazing energy that no one else I have ever worked with possessed; and I mean superhuman energy. Performing with her was like being shot out of a cannon - the only description I can think of that comes close. That energy was so powerful that it is still with me every single day. I think it was even one of the things that kept me alive through several rough patches. Please consider signing this; we're so close!

I want this to be a definitive account of Hello, Dolly! If any of you reading this have appeared in any production of Dolly, I'm interested in speaking with YOU!

Richard Skipper Celebrates Jackie Joseph: LIVE at The Metropolitan Room in NYC

JULY 3^rd at 7PM!

A benefit for Actors and Others For Animals

Richard Skipper is Launching a new talk show in cabaret based on his blog, Richard Skipper Celebrates… Each show will be Celebrating artists and their “bodies of worth”. Richard’s first guest is character actress Jackie Joseph. Each show will benefit the artist guest’s charity of choice. The first will benefit Actors and Others for Animals.

Richard and Jackie will sit down for an intimate chat to discuss her career and life and the people she has worked with for the first forty-five minutes in a VERY RARE New York appearance!

Imagine "Inside the Actor's Studio" but with Richard Skipper's own personal style.

The last fifteen minutes will be comprised of questions from the audience.

Jackie will meet and greet the audience downstairs afterward.

Jackie Joseph is an American character actress, voice artist, and writer known for portraying Alan Brady's niece Jackie on the Dick van Dyke Show, as well as the film characters of: Audrey Fulquard in the original The Little Shop of Horrors, Sheila Futterman in both Gremlins films, and the voice of Melody in the animated television series Josie and the Pussycats and Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space.

Jackie was a regular on The Doris Day Show portraying Doris' friend, Jackie Parker and also famously played the love interest of Ernest T. Bass on The Andy Griffith Show as well as Imogene Harris, the eccentric love-interest of Mario (Bob Denver) in Who's Minding The Mint…THAT’S JUST FOR STARTERS!

“When it comes to the history of Jerry Herman’s brilliant production, beyond the 5000 plus performances of my own, even I turn to Richard Skipper when I have questions about the remarkable ladies who followed me in the role that the world fell in love with over 50 years ago.”-Carol Channing
