A less-new series for the TAPAS blog at this point... I wrote down names on little slips of paper, the names of everyone currently in the TAPAS Facebook group and Discord server, 41 people altogether, and will be drawing one name every so often to write about them and their history with the group.
Sidney Shackleton is yet another team member I met on Spamalot -- he played the roles originated by Christian Borle, the various "seventh Python" roles: the historian, the minstrel, the dead body that claims it isn't, and the effeminate Prince Herbert. He really brought on the charm for the whole thing.
A few years later, we reunited on Is He Dead?, playing two of the protagonist's three quirky apprentices.
This is an image I've shared on the blog before... made the front page!
From there, the story's about the same as that of his wife Jen. He was Mordekai in the Icewind Dale soundsets, TAPAS's first project, but unlike Jen, I haven't really seen him since he had to drop out of that role.
I hope to get Sidney and Jen in for cameos in the Mordekai short -- shouldn't be too long that we're finishing up the song for that, but still no leads on a new place to record -- and bigger characters later on.
