JOE MOORE'S "DIRTY LAUNDRY"
CHECKING OUT JOE's LAUNDRY: Television veterans Keoki Kerr, left, Ann Botticelli, and Dan Cooke, were in the house as Joe Moore's comedy / drama, "Dirty Laundry" opened at the Hawaii Theatre on Friday. Other celebrities on hand included Governor Lingle, Mayor Harris, Representative Neil Abercrombie, Jimmy Borges, Dan Hale, Russell Motter and PR pro Ruth Ann Becker
THEY KNOW WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE: Linda Coble and Kirk Matthews broke up several times during the show as the antics of Moore's fictional characters apparently reminded them of real-life local TV personalities (No, they didn't say who!). Moore's indictment of television news entertained TV insiders and theater fans alike.
CONGRATULATIONS, JOE!: Cast members James MacArthur, left, Stephanie Sanchez, and Sherry Chock Wong, posed with the proud actor / playwright while signing autographs outside the theatre. Sanchez and Wong wore "Dirty Laundry" lei made of "laundry" and clothes pins by Keith Griffin, who had composed original music for the show (Griffin's lei "laundry" was clean, he said).
