We all love a good curmudgeon, don't we: Archie Bunker, Grumpy the Dwarf, Oscar the Grouch? Deep down, we all know that they really just need a hug or smelly pile of garbage; and after a while, their grousing just becomes hilarious. We have several curmudgeons in our theatre community, but one stands out for being so grouchy that you can't help pinching his cheeks.

The Adorable Curmudgeon Award goes to Eric Messner!

"Why are you laughing when there is so much misery in the world??"

I mean, look at that face. Can you really take his crabbiness seriously?

"I mean it, guys! Oh damn it all."
