Michael Shooner, so compelling in the regional preem of “Frozen” (tonight and next weekend at Xavier U., details on the show’s production page at CinStages) has plenty of psychological pain as a pedophile/serial killer – and that is just the half of it.

Shooner has a torn rotator cuff – “shredded, actually” he chortled. (He really did chortle.) Shooner then demonstrated how far he could use his arm, and noted that director Cathy Springfield had to re-block the show so he could gesture with the arm that still works.

Of course Shooner sustained the injury while he was working at staying in shape.

Surgery comes when the curtain comes down, giving the actor plenty of time to get in shape for “Glengarry Glen Ross” at his home base, New Edgecliff.
