Rebecca Jo Malmstrom
Production ManagerRebecca works at the Guthrie in the props department by day, and in her basement making Duckie Uglings by night. She met Jason in 1994 (shortly after the events of this show) but sadly, long after the perm had faded. They’ve produced comedy and sketch shows, film projects (with We’ll Fix It In Post Productions) and theatrical productions ever since, and she even lets him crash at her house when his sister kicks him out of her basement.
More Information
In this hilarious true life comedy, Jason looks back at high school and how it shapes a person (for better or worse) as they move forward in life! From the days of being an unpopular kid in school with a rather unfortunate senior class photo to graduating and working in entertainment while brushing elbows with the famous in New York City, Hollywood and Vegas to being invited to perform at the class reunion, Jason takes a no holds barred look back. When Jason returns to his hometown to perform at his 20th class reunion, things take a wildly unexpected turn and it ends up being an unforgettable night of memories questioned, class bullies confronted, friendships renewed and old wounds revisited. A light once diminished reignited. A hysterical look at who you were then versus who you are now and how high school lingers for a lifetime, whether you like it or not. A show 31 years in the making!
