Tim tours all five, distinct McManus Comedies all the time, so each of the five shows is available. Click here for a description

We usually begin touring in a geographic area with the first play: A Fine and Pleasant Misery. Often we are asked back to perform the sequel, McManus In Love. The other three shows follow.

Each of these shows consists of two complete acts and each lasts about 2 hours. Each is a full play, with distinct through lines, plots, characters and situations. Tim plays a total of 33 of Pat's characters from his fictional boyhood town of Blight, Idaho. Since Pat's 21 books sell quite well across the country, many of these characters and some of their antics and misadventures will be familiar to all audiences. Some of the stories are taken from the books, but many are written directly for the stage.

Outreach Opportunities include:

a.) Acting Workshop: Tim conducts a 2-1/2 to 3 hour acting workshop for students of all ages, and indeed, for adults as well. He also conducts advanced workshops that can be piggy-backed onto the initial one, so as to fill a complete day of residency. Click here for more details.

b.) School Performances: Tim selects material from all the shows to present to school audiences, grades 5 through 12. The material differs considerably depending on the age of the audience. Performances last from 45 to 60 minutes. Click here for more details.
