The Grinch ~ Sets the Record Straight

Back by popular demand, Steffon Moody and family performs The Grinch- Sets the Record Straight at the Vashon Movie Theater, along with a showing of  Dr. Seuss’ classic holiday cartoon, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (narrated by Boris Karloff).  The free event is on Thurs., Dec. 22nd @ 7:30pm, and is gifted to the community by the Vashon Parks District and Vashon Theater.

Last year The Grinch’s antics wowed a packed house at the Ober Park performance space, as he enacted his side of the story amidst the excited squeals of the abhorring/adoring crowd:

“Hear ye Hear ye!  All Vashwhovians
Large and small, Near or far, One and All,
I, the Grinch, have come out of my Hole,
to right a wrong that is indeed… quite Tall.”

This year, The Grinch is backed by a supporting cast of Grinchette singers (Steffon’s talented wife and daughter, Arlette & Louisa Moody) to help rally his Grinchy cause, and provide a rocklicking good time:

“It seems that the story is a bit one sided
Painting me as a villain, and then as a Saint
And you might think that’s what happened,
But it aint!  Hit it Maestros…”

Steffon’s mercurial movements, witty irreverence and boundless energy resuscitates the Grinch in a way that would even make Jim Carrey envious.  It’s a Family Show, appropriate for all ages, though parents should gage whether their child can handle a live Grinch in all his glory.   So come Vashowhovians and delight in the remaking of this classic Seussian character.  And after our final “Fa-Who-Dor-Ays”, WHOliday donations to the Vashon-Maury Food Bank will be warmly received by the Grinchettes.
