'I remember I read the review and I took a breath and I said: You know what? He's right. Because it was a mess.' Gary Cole of the Showtime drama 'Waco: The Aftermath' talks to Nina_Metz for MyWorstMoment.
. And we had a little theater on Clark Street about four doors north of Wrigley Field at Clark and Racine, a little pie-wedged building that was next to the Gingerman Tavern, which still remains there . I was probably 23 at the time.“We wanted to make our mark and didn’t want to do established playwrights. We wanted to be really avant-garde and prove that we were not sellouts, so we wanted to find the most obscure, dark play we could find.
“What was my role? I couldn’t tell you. That’s a question I can barely answer. I think my character was named Pablo — in a German play, so try to make sense of that. We didn’t know what we were doing about anything other than: Here are lines, here are the costumes, go out there and do it“We had 55 seats and we opened the play right before the holidays in December.
“We were trying to get the theater off the ground and we thought this was a good idea. But we realized after a full audience was sitting there puzzled and smirking and chuckling at things that were not supposed to be funny at all , we knew. I mean, I was not mystified. I was not like, oh my god, that was the performance of my life! I thought, you know what? He’s right.“But those words were like punches and I could not get them out of my head.
“And you know what, I might be wrong about this — this might have been a Richard Christiansen review for the Tribune.”“Well, I just think it’s the job description. Eight o’clock is showtime: Show up and do it. Is anybody out there? There’s two people out there? OK, whatever! The Gingerman was next door and the play was over in 90 minutes, so all we had to do was get through it and then at 9:30 we could go next door and laugh about how horrible it was. We were dying on stage.
