Best Bets: Eula Mae's

by Collin Kelley, Atlanta Intown Magazine

I was delighted to see that a revival of Eula Mae's Beauty, Bait, and Tackle will be staged this month at Onstage Atlanta. Many moons ago (okay, over a decade), I was acting in a play running in repertory with one of the first incarnations of the show created by Frank Blocker and Chuck Richards. Frank and Chuck were playing all the characters (mostly female, and these guys do not make pretty ladies, trust me) and it was a riot. Since then, the comedy/musical/drag show has garnered acclaim from an off-Broadway run.
This outing, Chuck and Frank have turned the show over to other actors, including Topher Payne, who nearly stole the show in last year's The Santaland Diaries at Horizon.
