Good news for those theatre fans who’ve enjoyed Marc Acito’s How I Paid for College and Attack of the Theater People. According to his blog, he has recently completed the first draft of the third book in his musical theatre-caper “Theater People” trilogy, called The Jazz Hands of God. For those who haven’t read the first two (do that), they follow the whimsical exploits of a young actor as he and his motley crew of friends try to get him into Juilliard and survive the 80s. My favorite character in his series (we have several physical and personality traits in common), is a nebbishy sociopath named Natie Nudelman who is the criminal mastermind behind all their activities (and no doubt is probably at present reaping the benefits of a ponzi scheme in a remote undisclosed location). Oh -and did I mention that none other than Marian…Marian Seldes makes important cameos in both books? If that isn’t enough to entice then I question why you are reading this blog. No word on when the book will be out, but one question for Marc: does our Marian appear in book three…?
