Tonight night - Saturday, July 1, 7pm - Out North will be presenting Scott Turner Schofield in "How I Became A Man." Out North has transferred their old home in Airport Heights to Cyrano's and Out North is moving to the Alaska Experience Theater. It will be there - 4th and C Street.
There's a lot of unsaid in that first paragraph. I don't know the details, but the ADN had a story two weeks ago. And Friday's paper had a story about Scott's show.
I just think that Scott is an amazing performer and I'd go see anything he was doing. But let me give you some background on how my admiration for Scott came about through some links to old blog posts.
I like to think that I have a good eye now and then, and with Scott I did. I first saw him acting as an MC at OutNorth introducing the Under 30 acts. That was Jan 3, 2010. I wrote:
The next time I wrote about Scott was July of that same year. Again, he introduced the act - Wu Man and Friends- and this time I was really impressed.
Then that October, he mc'd Out North's coming attractions show. I caught a bit of it on video and posted it here. This was just a random couple of minutes, but even then you can see that he moves his body and expresses himself with a lot more fluidity than your average person.
The following September, 2011 Scott has been busy at Out North for a little over a year and here's a post about the introduction to the year. It was a full house. There's some underlying tension as Out North had lost some grant money.
Here's some video of that night. The first four minutes is Scott talking about Out North's evolution.
That November Scott performed 'Two Truths And A Lie." It was his story. Up until then I'd seen him only as an mc, but that night he performed and confirmed my original gut feelings. Here's that post "He has comic timing tattooed on his genes" - Scott Schofield Performs at Out North,
and it explains a lot of what tonight's performance will be about.
And then he quit suddenly and somewhat mysteriously. Eventually he came back and did a show that explained it all. I can't find a post about it, but it was powerful and for many of us an important closure and explanation of why he'd left.
In 2015, we got news that Scott had gotten a role in the tv show "The Bold and the Beautiful." My post on that was called My Fantasy: Jim Minnery and Amy Demboski Meet Scott Turner Schofield.
Wouldn't it be great if they came tonight?
I'm excited we get another chance to see him perform. As I mentioned, Scott has performed this in Anchorage already. It's called, Becoming a Man in 127 Easy Steps. At that time, it was Two Truths And a Lie. As I recall, he was already talking about the 127 Easy Steps and each number between 1 and 127 had a story attached. The audience got to pick numbers and he told the stories of those particular steps. So each performance is different. The ticket agency for the show tonight says he's done this all over the US and Europe and it will be made into a movie. So this is an opportunity to see the movie before it becomes one.
Tickets are available here for only $25 which is a deal considering how good Scott is and how close you'll be to the stage at the Alaska Experience theater.

The performances were introduced by Scott Turner Schofield who is a visiting performer who will be putting on Debutante Balls Jan. 14 -17. He seemed totally comfortable onstage and I'm sorry we're going to miss his show, but we leave for Juneau on the 11th.

"On the right is Scott Schofield, Out North's new artistic director after the performance. Preparation for the performance began just as he arrived at OutNorth. His introduction Wednesday was a pleasure to listen to. His words were good, his delivery fluent, and he effortlessly rotated to acknowledge the audience members sitting behind him on the stage. (See, there are some things I feel have some basis for evaluating.) We're lucky to have him here and I look forward to continuing great nights like Wednesday at OutNorth."
