McManus, Behrens Reunite

After 1,200 performances over 16 years, the Patrick J. McManus-Tim Behrens partnership has proven to be popular and enduring. Now this comic collaboration begins a new stage with “Poor Again … Dagnabbit!” — the premiere of the first new McManus show in 12 years. The popular formula remains intact: McManus (pictured), the best-selling humorist famous for “A Fine and Pleasant Misery,” supplies the words. Behrens, alone on the stage, portrays McManus and all of his well-loved characters, including Retch Sweeney and Olga Bonemarrow. The subject, fittingly for our times, is financial woe. McManus creates rollicking tales about his poor childhood in Sandpoint during the Great Depression and a few stories about the current recession as well/ Jim Kershner , SR. More here .
