Good going, Troy!

My good friend Troy Heard is in Hollywood, Calif., directing a show.

What show?

Well, one that he probably won't be able to produce in Columbus.

It's "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical."

I told him that he could.

After all, there's no nudity. OK, there's a flash, but it's not a porn movie. It's just based on one.

And where there would be sex scenes, there are big song-and-dance production numbers.

It actually sounds like a lot of fun.

It opens tonight at the Key Club. One the guest list are Fred Armisen of "Saturday Night Live," Adam Rifkin who wrote and directed "Detroit Rock City," Daniel Waters who wrote "Heathers" and a new movie called "Sex and Death 101" and Josh Olson, who was nominated for an Academy Award for writing the script of "A History of Violence."

Believe it or not, it's the Los Angeles premiere! And a local boy is directing.

I'm sure I'll get an e-mail in the morning from him. I'll keep you posted on the reviews.
