DENNIS ANYONE? with Dennis Hensley
Actor-Producer Emerson Collins (Buyer & Cellar): "You Have To Celebrate The Rung Of The Ladder That You're On"

DENNIS ANYONE? with Dennis Hensley

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Emerson Collins who is currently starring in the one-man play Buyer and Cellar by Jonathan Tolins at the Whitefire Theatre in Los Angeles. The play is a "What if?" story about an underemployed actor who gets a job working in the mall in Barbra Streisand's basement. Emerson talks about what drew him to the play, shares his favorite moment in the show and recalls his harrowing first audition, which happened days after he had emergency appendix surgery. He also talks about working as a producer for writer-director Del Shores (Sordid Lives), getting discovered by Del in a Dallas production of Del's play Southern Baptist Sissies, then taking a leap of faith and moving to LA to appear in the LA production. Other topics include: whether famous people can have real friendships with non-famous people, Emerson's memories of the late, great Leslie Jordan, the shooting permit disaster that almost shut down the film of Southern Baptist Sissies, working retail aa a Banana Republic display visionary, driving for Lyft when he found out he got cast in Rent: Live for Fox TV, why he posts Speedo shots on Instagram and the curvacious and hard-to-read title font Barbra picked for the book that inspired Buyer and Cellar, My Passion For Design. www.emersoncollins.com

Today's Show we have another great Quadruple blast of “5 Questions With…” featuring all 5 of our guests from last week. I love asking my guests 5 random and usually goofy questions to bring out their personalities and as we wrap up spooky season, I love the personalities from these last guests of October. First up are the uber talented couple who do it all, act, sing, write, direct and produce. Emerson Collins and Blake McIver have been regulars on the Left of Str8 Show since we first started back in 2015 and I am honored to call them friends both on and off the air. Next up is the creator of the “Bad Boy” comedy series, Artie O'Daly. Artie is an amazing actor who can be seen guesting on some of my favorite television shows and movies. He has created “Bad Boy” and writes, directs, starts and edits each episode. It has some of the best writing and the cast plays off each other amazingly. You can check the series out on YouTube and Dekkoo. My first spooky season guest playing this week is Michael Varrati, who is an amazing writer, director and producer as well as hosting the “Midnight Mass” podcast. Michael has written and directed the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, written horror and Christmas movies and spoken about horror and lgbtq issues and connectivity eloquently for year. Finally, we have a first timer to the show, Mike Zara, who wrote on one of my favorite television shows, “Major Crimes.” He also has written a terrific cross-genre movie, “Letters to Satan Clause,” what trouble a wrongly placed ‘N' can cause. I am really excited for the company he has started, “Toy Storiez,” which helps toy companies create IP's and Product Placements and combines Mike's love of toys and writing.

Photo credit: Steven K. Johnson. Palm Springs, Calif. – Award-winning writer/director Del Shores (“Blues For Willadean,” “Southern Baptist Sissies,” “Queer A Folk”) releases his latest film, A Very Sordid Wedding, the outrageously funny sequel to his play, movie and TV series Sordid Lives. The film brings back an all-star ensemble cast of characters, rooted in the Southern Baptist world of Winters, Texas, in the weeks following the U.S. Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage equality ruling where not everyone there is ready to accept it. On March 10, 2017, the film will make its World Premiere and have an exclusive two-week theatrical release at Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs, where the original film ran for 96 weeks. It will be followed by a national limited theatrical run by The Film Collaborative, expanding to Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, San Francisco, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale and other cities and dates to be announced. For ticket information and further updates on the film’s theatrical release, visit http://www.averysordidwedding.com/. The ensemble cast of 32 actors is led by Bonnie Bedelia (“Parenthood”), Caroline Rhea (“Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”), Dale Dickey (Independent Spirit Award winner “Winter’s Bone”), Leslie Jordan (Emmy winner “Will & Grace”) with cast members from the original Sordid Lives film Newell Alexander (“August: Osage County”), Rosemary Alexander, Kirk Geiger, Sarah Hunley, Lorna Scott (“Wanted”) and Ann Walker. New additions to the Sordid Lives world include Emerson Collins (“The People’s Couch”), Levi Kreis (Tony winner “MillionDollar Quartet”), Carole Cook (“Sixteen Candles”), Alec Mapa (“Ugly Betty”), Aleks Paunovic (“Van Helsing”), Katherine Bailess (“Hit The Floor”) and a cameo from Whoopi Goldberg. Sordid Lives, Del Shores’ fourth play, opened in Los Angeles in 1996, and ran for 13 sold-out months. It received 13 “Critic’s Choice” honors and 14 Drama-Logue Theatre Awards. In 1999, Shores wrote and directed the film adaption of Sordid Lives starring Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John, Bonnie Bedelia, Leslie Jordan and Beth Grant, along with most of the cast from the play. The movie became a cult phenomenon taking in nearly $2 million in its eighttheatre limited release. The movie won six Best Feature and 13 Audience Awards at film festivals. In 2002, Twentieth Century Fox released the DVD/Video, which has now sold over 300,000 units. The film was re-released by Wolfe Video in 2014. Sordid Lives: The Series, a 12episode TV series prequel to the Sordid Lives film, premiered on MTV’s LOGO network in 2008. “Not a day goes by where someone doesn’t write me asking me for more Sordid Lives. So many of my LGBTQ fans, of all ages, have come out to their folks by showing them Sordid Lives because the humor helped them share their own story,” explains writer, director and producer Del Shores. “I am excited to bring my characters up to July 2015 where they are hit with the reality of Texas having full equality. I wanted to contrast affirming churches and organizations like Faith In America with the hypocritical bigotry that is still being spewed from pulpits represented by the ‘Anti-Equality Rally’ in the film.” “With the victory of marriage equality and the resulting backlash disguised as ‘religious freedom’ bills, our film exploring the impact of religious bigotry couldn’t come at a more timely moment in our history,” continues producer and star Emerson Collins. “Hard-fought LGBTQ rights won over the past eight years now hang in the balance with the new presidential administration and conservative state legislatures across the country preparing to target the LGBTQ community.” As the original film dealt with coming out in a conservative Southern world, A Very Sordid Wedding explores the questions, bigotry and the fallout of what happens when gay marriage comes to communities and families that are not quite ready to accept it. Bigoted “religious freedom,” marriage equality and cultural acceptance are all explored with Del Shores’ trademark approach to using comedy and his much beloved Sordid Lives characters to deal with these important current social issues and the very real process of accepting your family for who they are instead of who you want them to be. Synopsis: A VERY SORDID WEDDING It’s 2015, seventeen years after Peggy tripped over G.W.’s wooden legs and died in Sordid Lives, and life has moved into the present for the residents of Winters, Texas. Sissy Hickey (Dale Dickey) is reading the Bible, cover to cover, trying to make some kind of sense out of what it really says about gay people. Her niece Latrelle Williamson (Bonnie Bedelia) has divorced her husband Wilson (Michael MacRae) who has taken up with a hot young gold digger. Latrelle’s now out and proud gay son Ty (Kirk Geiger) is on his way back to town with his black man and news of their own. Her sister LaVonda (Ann Walker) is still cussin’ and drankin’ and is being blackmailed to sit with the sick and afflicted. LaVonda’s best friend Noleta (Caroline Rhea) meets a hot younger man while visiting her awful mama in the hospital. G.W. (David Steen), sporting new fiberglass legs after Noleta burned his old ones, is still feeling guilty and mourning Peggy. Nearly incoherent barfly Juanita (Sarah Hunley) has moved from her obsession with Vacation Bible School roosters to the royal family while Wardell (Newell Alexander) and Odell (David Cowgill) still bicker at the bar. Tammy Wynette champion Brother Boy (Leslie Jordan) hasn’t been back to Winters since Peggy’s funeral, and he’s working at a tragic little gay bar in  Longview, having added Loretta and Dolly to his new medley act “We Three Queens of Oper-y Are” till a chance meeting with a dangerous criminal forces him out on the run. As the sordid saga continues, an anniversary memorial service is being planned in honor of Peggy at Bubba’s Bar while the Southside Baptist Church is planning an “Anti-Equality Rally” to protest the advancement of same-sex marriage, spearheaded by Vera Lisso (Lorna Scott) and Mrs. Barnes (Sharon Garrison). Both events are to take place on the same night, so the cast of colorful characters are all on a collision course for shenanigans and fireworks, and a surprise wedding!

Sarah realizes she has become helpless to the constant pull of a Salt Lake reunion rewatch. So after another viewing of part 3 (for...more than a third time), she decides the best way to 'internalize' is to do the exact opposite: an external, extra-zesty cloffice kiki with her pal, actor, producer, writer, and People's Couch alum, Emerson Collins. They settle into the cloff and deep dive whether Sandoval will receive a redemption season energy from his cast (and the Pump Rules audience), the ways recent exclusive media interviews have influenced a deeper dive of Monica and Heather's motivations, the ways to hold space for trauma and also accountability (a seemingly impossible practice with Bravo discourse these days), the cast's frequent comparison of Monica and Jen (and disconnect over righteous rage), Angie K. and Whitney's centered reunion performances, and how to trust Monica's truth about whether production knew about her trolling.

Sarah buys a table at Elton John's favorite Starbucks on La Brea (what? that's not the same thing as seats at a gala?), and messages Lisa and Harry to fill two seats. After being informed Rinna already reserved standing-room-only at the Dunkin Donuts in Brentwood, Sarah calls up one of her fave venti spillers of tea, a man who loves to share his AG Q2 quarterly report, Emerson Collins (actor, producer, director, and star of "The People's Couch"). They Zoom-sit on the People's People's Couch and explore Teresa's inability to process forgiveness as anything but as a sign of weakness, the hypocrisy surrounding Kyle and Sutton's conversation about empathy for Dorit, and Erika's misdirected rage. Diana says she's nouveau riche, and Sarah would love to be nouveau breaking even - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 312!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sarah wakes up with a tummy ache (equal parts too much vegan paleo pie, and a dream she was stuck in the RHOP Miami rental bedroom with constant flushing replacing ocean waves). Undeterred, she realizes the best medicine is a People's People's Couch RHOP kiki with one of her absolute faves, Bravoholic Emerson Collins (writer, producer, and actor). They discuss Potomac's mastery of the Housewives universe (big fights over small details), a defense of overreacting when responding to an overreach, the difference between being an artificial villain and an artificial person, and the effect of friendship without accountability (Jacqueline, take note). Much like Gizelle's red velvet oreos, this ep is serving - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 364!JOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/Donate to the Bravo creator fundraiser in support of Inside Out Youth Services!
