At 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays June 7th and 14th, Dark Champions will perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
Twenty years later, noted rock scribe Christian Hoard will compile the first comprehensive account of the days leading up to, during, and after these shows.
The following will be an excerpt from his bestseller, Little Jimmy's Losing Blood: An Oral Fortnight with Dark Champions (© 2023, Penguin Putnam):
The UCB Theatre moved to 26th Street in April 2003. Those spring months found DC prospering: Dillinger was fast becoming a theatre favorite, Alan Corey had been cast in The Restaurant -- the original, pre FDA-regulated version -- and John Reynolds was enjoying the one-year anniversary of his first marriage.
The chance to return to the UCBT, however, was the prize upon which their eyes had been kept. And they won it: two Saturdays, 7:30 p.m., with Guile.
The Champs were, as Eric Scott would later title his Obie-winning one-man show, on a gravy train to serendipity junction.
