Posted by Dwayne Yancey in Uncategorized, Video on January 18, 2012
Here’s the short film that Salem, Va. filmmaker Hank Ebert made out of my script “My Kid Could Paint That.”
We showed this at a festival at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va. in spring 2009.
You can see stills from the film here.

Cate Leonard (art dealer) and Mike Allen (art buyer) eye some "artwork," which looks suspiciously like it was once a dog. (Or a cat. But we had a dog prop.)
I collaborated with Salem,Va. filmmaker Hank Ebert to make a short video out of my script “My Kid Could Paint That.”
You can find the video here. These are some stills from that film, which played in a festival at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va. in spring 2009: Read the rest of this entry »

A staged reading of a short Christmas scene — “Kids Say the Damnedest Things” — at No Shame Theatre, Roanoke, Va., in November 2008.
That’s Mike Allen as the devil and Keith Yancey as the kid.

That’s me with Natalie Newman, a very talented actress who had the lead role of Percy Sutton in the Mill Mountain Theatre production of “Spitfire Grill” in October 2008.
This is just clowning around for the camera.
I believe Ann Karner — who played Effie — took the photo.

I have never counted myself an actor.
So I was shocked when, in the fall of 2008, the artistic director at Mill Mountain Theatre in Roanoke, Va. called me to ask if I’d play a non-speaking part in the upcoming production of “Spitfire Grill.”
Sure, I’d be honored.
What I didn’t realize was this was a BIG non-speaking part — that of “The Visitor,” the long-lost son of the grill’s owner who went AWOL during Vietnam and has been living in the woods ever since.
There were actions to learn! Heck, I even had to learn to enter on a musical cue.

The night of the first Obama-McCain debate in 2008, I had this staged reading of “God and the Devil Debate the Issues” at No Shame Theatre, Roanoke, Va.
That’s Kenley Smith as God and Mike Allen as the devil.
“Great the Cheese!” at Gone in 60 Seconds Festival, New York

Sometimes life imitates art. Sometimes art imitates life. This is a more or less true account of an incident that happened at home when my wife asked me to hand her the cheese grater.
She wasn’t amused. Fortunately, the audience at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival of one-minute scripts at Brooklyn College in New York was.
Here’s “Great the Cheese!” in June 2008.

Keith Yancey and Dwayne Yancey with Boston Red Sox World Series trophy.
When the Boston Red Sox took over the minor league baseball team in Salem, Va. in 2009 — turning it from the Salem Avalanche into the Salem Red Sox — the team sent down one of its World Series trophies as a star attraction.
That’s me and my son, Keith, on the official viewing day.
Baseball is a recurring theme in a lot of my work.
