Theater Review: The Screwtape Letters featuring Brent Harris as Screwtape

It's no secret ... God loves the "hairless bipeds" He's created. And all of hell is in a fury because of it.  The younger, less experienced demon Wormwood has recently graduated from the Tempters Training College and is now tasked with ensuring that his first human "patient" is successfully ushered into the bleak and dismal abyss. Through a series of letters, Wormwood receives the help of his sinister Uncle Screwtape in devising a diabolical plot to snatch their unwitting victim from the gracious and eternally loving arms of "The Enemy" ... if only they could just figure out what He's up to.

Interview: Actor/Director/Writer Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Less Thank Zero)

He won the hearts of many in the 1980's starring in movies such as St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Mannequin, Less Than Zero, Weekend at Bernie's, and more.  His notoriety as a member of the film industry's famous "Brat Pack" (ironic as the association still seems in his opinion) brought Andrew opportunities to reach beyond his suburban upbringing and explore a number of destinations around the world.  Believing that traveling people are the "last, best hope for the world," Andrew is now "out to change the world one trip at a time" and has bared his soul in his recent book The Longest Way Home: One Man's Quest for the Courage to Settle Down in which he describes a deeply personal epiphany on his walk down the Camino de Santiago, the challenges of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and an amusing "escapade in paddywackery" or two.
