Somewhere...out there...up there...in there... on the Canadian frontier...

Announcing:
The Return of The Minute Player
Presenting "Minute Plays" from Theatre de la Verite with Farren Gainer.
- An instant theatre one-man satirical revue.
Minute Plays can last from 10-seconds to under 5 minutes. This is a tantalizing collection of original jests & quests, verses & curses, laughs & gaffs, skits & quips, tiffs & riffs, monologues & blogs as well as quotes & jokes.
The program is presented through three classic characters from the Twilight Zone of your imagination:
*Marcel, le petit Morceau, rapid-fire delivery of Minute Plays by a failed mime artist who isn't afraid to call a spade, a shovel. Plays include Bird in Tree, Love is and We French!
*Baron Von Gainer, an antiquated touring lecturer, not to be confused with a lecher and is the last of the 1912 Titanic survivors! Plays include Canadian Immigration, Owing to a Certain Inconvenience and Bard Banter.
*The Lone Gainer, a cyberspace Texas Ranger -an old fashioned dapper Lawman lost in a Heritage debunking world and wanted by the local Town Sheriff for spreading decency & civility. Plays include, In Conversations with John A (MacDonald), Naw, I Never Touch the Stuff and Cowpoke Logic.

Citizens of any town, I have here a "Wanted" poster, it says,
WANTED:ALIVE!

The Lone Gainer!
Reward: 1,000 Hugs!
Callin' all literary bounty hunter agents to be on the look-out for this hombre spreadin' his Lone Ranger middle class values across the page! Why, it's disgustin'.
We've got to object to this trail-blazin' of decency and civility! The Lone Gainer is a role model of old-fashion values and wholesome entertainment - he's got to be stopped!
And, beware this hombre is armed! Armed with a pen and paper. Approach with caution. Ink stains are hard to remove!
...Why here comes with "The Lone Gainer" now with his awesome Tales from the Trail!"
A Mini-BIO: I spent time in Britain as a performer but in returning to Canada have been inspired by its frontier setting/history to produce another character to add to Theatre of the Truth. Namely, The Lone Gainer.
The other day, I was referred to as a Lawman pastor! I like the sound of that and present writin' /monologue story tellin' in the' true grit' style of yesterday-year And, here's some titles inspired by the experience:
