“Then looking up at His disciples, He said:

‘Blessed are you who are poor, because the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are hungry now, because you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, because you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you, insult you, and slander your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! Take note-your reward is great in heaven, because this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.'”

Broadway in Chicago’s King Katt is back!

“I Love Lucy Live” actor Richard Strimer took time out of his busy schedule on the stage to  speak with BTSCelebs. Mr. Strimer has portrayed King Katt, Fever Sufferer, Crystaltone Singer “Chester” and Dance Captain (BTS) in the production’s run in Chicago since September 12th, 2012.

He tells us everything from his favorite “I Love Lucy” episode, his plans for the Lucy stage, who would be his BFF from the 50s series and his plans after Lucy.

BTSCelebs: Please Introduce yourself to BTSCelebers:

Richard Strimer: Hey BTSCelebers, my name is Richard Strimer. I grew up in Michigan, attended   Michigan State University and moved to Chicago in 1990 to pursue a career in acting. In 1993 I got my first show at the late Pheasant Run Theatre as Riff in”West Side Story”. I then was able to work at Candlelight Dinner Theatre and finally joined Actors’ Equity Association in 1996. I have performed in Chicago, OH and PA appearing in over 60 main stage productions. Being a part of “I Love Lucy Live on Stage” has been a great experience and hope to remain with the “Lucy Family” in the future.

Why did you choose the theatre as your profession? What attracted you to this line of work?

The “theatre bug” bit me back in 4th grade when I was in a production of “Our Town”. I instantly knew that I wanted to be an actor because of the challenges of    creating different characters and to also have the chance to entertain people.

What project will you begin after “I Love Lucy Live” ends its run in Chicago on April 7?

 I will be playing Gene Kelly in a production called “What a Glorious Feeling” at Theatre at the Center in Munster, IN. The show is about the creation of “Singin in the Rain” and will run April 25th through June 2nd.

Would you be BFFs with Ricky or Fred? What is the reason behind your choice?

Definitely Ricky and I would work with him at the Tropicana because I love music and dance just like him.

The Ricardos had 3 homes in the series (New York apartment number 1, the second apartment in New York they shared with Little Ricky and the House in the country), Which home would you choose to live in and which home would you love to bring to the stage?

Their 1st apartment and, with our production, we know that the apartment works well on stage.

Name your favorite “I Love Lucy” episode you wish to recreate on stage:

“Lucy’s Italian Movie”

Which Hollywood celebrities would you hire as guest stars on this particular episode?

Juliette Binoche as the grape stomper.

Thanks BTSCelebers for contacting me! All the best!!Richard

The Bible “Hope” Real Verse: Jesus Christ is Tempted By Satan

“Then Jesus returned from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for 40 days to be tempted by the Devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over, He was hungry. The Devil said to Him, ‘If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.’

But Jesus answered him, ‘ It is written: Man must not live on bread alone.’

So he took Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. The Devil said to Him, ‘I will give You their splendor and all this authority, because it has been given over to me, and I can give it to anyone I want. If You, then, will worship me, all will be Yours.’

And Jesus answered him, ‘It is written:

Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only’

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, ‘If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written:

He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you, and they will support you with their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

And Jesus answered him, ‘It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.’ After the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time.”

Luke 4: 1-13

“…. Then Daniel spoke with the king: ‘May the king live forever. My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths. They haven’t hurt me, for I was found innocent before Him. Also, I have not committed a crime against you my king.’

The king was overjoyed and gave orders to take Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was taken out of the den, uninjured, for he trusted in his God. The king then gave the command, and those men who has maliciously accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the lions’ den- they, their children, and their wives. They had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.”

The Bible “Hope” Real Verse: Joseph Learns Jesus Christ is Coming

“The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. So her husband Joseph, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, decided to divorce her secretly.

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘ Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name Him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.’

Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:

‘See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name Him Immanuel,’

which is translated ‘God is with us,’

When Joseph got up from sleeping, he did as the Lord’s angel had commanded him. He married her but did not know her intimately until she gave birth to a son. And he named Him Jesus. 

Matthew 1: 18-25
