Big Daddy Tosses Drunk From Theatre
I’m giving a standing ovation to actor John Lacy (pictured), who was canned three days ago for stopping a performance of “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof” at Newhall’s Repertory East Playhouse in order to deal with a drunken bigot who was heckling the show with homophobic slurs. Lacy, who played Big Daddy, reportedly jumped off the stage after the drunk wouldn’t shut up (the guy reportedly shouted “fag†more than once) and physically ejected him from the theatre. Since the house manager wasn’t doing his job, what was Lacy supposed to do? He is to be applauded, not fired. Big Daddy would have done a lot worse to the drunk than Lacy did.
