Warning: Tricks the Devil Taught Me — Page 2

Since you are employed by Tony Georges, why don't you ask him when he is going to run out of money? You have previously commented that this show was "bonded" and then you couldn't document that.

Tony Georges was arrested several time, has a trail of bad debts and five separate companies that have NEVER filed tax returns.

He has been trying to raise money the last few weeks and because a group of us have created websites about his background, nobody is going to give him any money.

Based on Tony Georges track record and the comments about the show Tricks The Devil Taught Me - you need a different Producer AND a different show.

snakeinmyboots is Travis Acremen a star-struck actor in Tricks The Devil Taught Me. He posted his affection for Tony Georges on his blog this morning:

http://travisacreman.blogspot.com/2011/07/jesus-alcohol-and-homosexuality.html

It's titled "Jesus, alcohol and Homosexuality."

This show will close before it opens. Travis and others associated with the troubled show need to ask Tony about his finances. He can't raise any more money, so they need to determine how much he has left. Now, before Minetta changes the locks.

Cheap bastard isn't even paying for a Maytag man to do the job, he's got the actors doing it! xD

"...the website dexter is talking about is clearly coming from someone with a vendetta. Who knows how much of that information is true...."


Granted, previews aren't intended to be subject to review. But snakeinmyboots, even a respected slake can't fault a theatre patron for expressing his opinion.

As for the Odessa incident, the information on that website is factual and (aside from a few personal heated remarks) it is all undisputed public record. I, too, was there to witness. On a personal note, I also had a chance closely to observe Mr. Georges in his theatrical element in Odessa for a few months before the Ector Theatricals scandals even began. Even at age 21, he was a natural charmer (especially of the vulnerable and wealthy), but his ethics were criminal and his duplicity is legend, even among his "friends".

For all those reasons, I find the title of his play absolutely apropos, as are the timely Biblical warnings of its website http://www.ttdtm.com/full.html :

"be not forgetful..." Hebrews 13:2
"be not deceived..." Galations 6:7

Where is Tony Georges? He can't raise any more money without being thrown in jail, so what's the deal? How much cash do you have? Another week?

Speak up. Be a man.

I can get comps and I'm seriously thinking about taking them. I need to see this.

These are my favorite batsh*t crazy threads now. This one and the other "re: Warning" thread.

I don't know which is worse, the show itself or the crazies coming out to freak on and on about it. Since it's not likely I will see this fine piece of art, I'll have to go with the threads for the win.

And it's so nice to have all these new socks around. Somebody needs to do laundry.

"Backside Ollie 180"

I think I want to know what that is . . .

I'm confused about all this talk of homosexuality in the links. Unless I fell asleep/zoned out for a portion of the play I don't remember any talk of a gay character or any of the characters having gay sex. I don't know how it could "promote homosexuality" when it was neither mentioned nor alluded to.

Why are all the photos of this guy blurrier and/or more distorted than bigfoot footage?

All the anger?-my daughter and I sat through and enjoyed the first evenings performance. It was a true to life look at some hard lives lived in Texas-and could have been New York too. I have seen many challenging plays, have walked out and am still thinking of the themes presented here. Yes it was too long- but the performances were real and true to life. Yes sometimes life is miserable. Folks need to see this and think about it and leave all the other background noise behind.

These endorsements are coming from Tony or his BF Travis Acreman, an actor and/or stage hand. It's way too little, way too late. Not only is Tony Georges' reputation cancelling this show, this show is cancelling this show. It is pathetic.

Another painfully honest assessment of the show was posted earlier today:

http://wanorrisjr.blogspot.com/2011/08/billi-pods-report-card-on-tricks-devil.html

The show was given an "F" and here is a sample of the review:

"This was every bit as terrible as my theater-nut friends had said, and then some. It is puke-inducingly bad. Barf and double-barf!!

It has every southern/western cliché imaginable shouted by unlikeable and unbelievable characters. Profanity is spewed nonstop from almost all of the female characters. The story line, if there is one, is incomprehensible.

Billi Pod fled in abject horror at intermission. He would have left sooner but his seat was in the second row, dead center, so he was trapped. When he left he joined a stream of like-minded audience members heading out of the theater.

So folks in the metropolitan New York area - stay far away from this piece of egomaniacal [egomaniacal because the playwright is also the director] dog crap==>it is puke inducing!!"
