What: Solo performer and playwright Jim Loucks brings his Southern storytelling style to the 2020 FRIGID Festival with his one-man show Cemetery Golf , directed by Lisa Chess.
After playing to critical acclaim around the country, Loucks is bringing his rollicking, heartfelt solo performance to New York in a way that only he can, through the eyes of a little boy growing up surrounded by baptisms (dunk, not sprinkle), the constant worry of the Rapture coming when you aren’t paying attention, and the terrifying fear of being the only one who doesn’t believe.
Preacher’s kid Loucks draws from his own Southern childhood for this one-man show that follows a hellfire-and-brimstone Southern Baptist preacher and his family through golf in the cemetery, an altercation with a Hare Krishna, and jumpin’-up-on-the-front-pew-and-wavin’-your-Bible-style sermons.
Loucks, who grew up in South Georgia, began his theatre career in summer stock at the Highlands Playhouse in North Carolina, and now lives in Venice, CA, has traveled the country with his three solo shows Cemetery Golf, The Biscuiteater, and Booger Red, which have had successful runs at the Electric Lodge in Venice, CA, United Solo in NYC, Piccolo Spoleto in Charleston, FronteraFest in Austin, and the Fringe Festivals in Boulder, Oahu, Hollywood, San Francisco, Orlando, San Diego, Cincinnati, Chicago, Scranton, Tucson, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary and Houston. Loucks won "Best Solo Show" at Tucson Fringe for The Biscuiteater and at Houston Fringe for Booger Red.
According to Mark Collins (Boulder Daily Camera), “Georgia-native Jim Loucks’ animated personal memoir performance is a gem… Loucks plays a handful of characters in authentic, detailed and often amusing fashion. But what makes “Cemetery Golf” special is that there’s love in the portraits…”
