  • The End of an Era...

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Swayzelhoff is no more. Just as the humble caterpillar must shed its cocoon in order to take flight as an F-16 fighter jet, so too must we develop and leave our sticky pupal casings behind. And thus, as the era of Swayzelhoff productions draws to a close, we begin a new, more exciting era.

    The era of Back of the Hand Theatre Company.

    The name may have changed, but the spirit is the same. In fact, it's better. At least 27% better. We would like to thank you all for your support of Swayzelhoff Productions, but now, just as all old dogs must be put down or run over with a truck, we must say goodbye to our beloved no-new-trick-learning mongrel.

    R.I.P. Swayzelhoff Productions 2006-2007

  • Flash Box Update

    I put the Swayzelhoffessy Part Two on the Flash box. Why Part Two? Well, because part one contained Rhys' play. Also, Part Two has Grant. It's really no contest.

  • Swayze triumphs

    Not to be outdone by the Hoff's recent monoploisation of the Flash Box, Swayze fights back with his own, woefully lip-synced song "She's like the Wind". Rock on, Swayze, rock on...

    a self-proclaimed superhero who broke down the berlin wall, cured cancer, loved lady diana and liberace, and was more watched on tv than anyone in the world. but hasselhoffs only big dream was not broadway but eurovision, and to maybe, just maybe, write his own song. the campaign begins now - who wants to see johnny logan and the hoff together as one? i do.
