  • In praising “the witty high school romp” How I Paid for College, the New York Times Book Review said, it “makes you hope there’s a lot more where this came from.” There is. In this hilarious sequel Attack of the Theater People, Edward Zanni and his merry crew of high school musical-comedy miscreants move to the magical wonderland that is Manhattan.

    It is 1986, and aspiring actor Edward Zanni has been kicked out of drama school for being “too jazz hands for Juilliard.” Mortified, Edward heads out into the urban jungle of eighties New York City and finally lands a job as a “party motivator” who gets thirteen-year-olds to dance at bar mitzvahs and charms businesspeople as a “stealth guest” at corporate events. When he accidentally gets caught up in insider trading with a handsome stockbroker named Chad, only the help of his crew from How I Paid for College can rescue him from a stretch in Club Fed.

    Laced with the inspired zaniness of classic American musical comedy, Attack of the Theater People matches the big hair of the eighties with an even bigger heart.

    Attack of the Theater People
    Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
    Loved it almost as much as his first book (it's in my top 5 books of all time) The writer has an awesome sense of humour and it's a great read.

    Very enjoyable
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    VERY funny. I truly enjoyed this book and hope to read more from Marc Acito. While I was reading "Band Fags", I kept having flashes back to this book. Of the two books, "Attack of the Theater People" was the better book by far.

    Be careful...
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    ...the audio version will make you laugh out loud often, which is problematic because

    1) you'll look pretty odd to other drivers on the highway,
    2) it can be dangerous if, like me, you laugh so hard you tear up, blurring your vision and endangering both yourself and those other drivers.

    I loved both How I Paid for College and Attack of the Theater People. Jeff Woodman, who reads them, is absolutely fantastic.

    Great book!!
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    I love this book. After reading the first book this was an excellent sequel. The author keeps true to the personality of each chareters.

    at last, something that puts Juilliard in perspective
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    I needed recovery from my actor training program's opinionatedness as badly as Acito did from Juilliard's, and am very grateful to find a friend like this book. What a perk that actorjourneys.com recommended this hilarious and insightful novel.
