Wigfield (performance)

Are you looking for a different Wigfield? If so, go there.

Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not was the name of a show-a-bration adapted from Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not, Russell Hokes's book about Wigfield. This limited-run "less than a play, more than a reading" featured the *LIVE*, (un)*NUDE*, and *EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE*  talents of Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, and Kevin Spacey. Apparently, these fabulous performers portrayed the many characters from the books, using something called "acting," while a multimedia extravaganza flashed all around them in the form of projections of the photographs from the book by Todd Oldham. Now if that's not an awkward sentence, I don't know what is.

Not having seen it myself, I can only imagine that Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not must have been something like an Anna Deavere Smith performance, except without all the bother of having to contend with actual oral history transcripts, multiple costume changes, and the ethnics. God, how I wish I could have been there!!
