IThe Temp, written in 1994, is a funny, funny story starring the main character, Myron Timmons, a large, affable family man (designed to star John Candy in shape, performance and presentation). Myron, who loses his prestigious architectural design job, faces an array of poor options, and enters the uncertain world of temporary employment as a secretary for want of a better position. These positions, more often than not, featured females, with few males qualified and courageous enough to join in.
Myron, firmly believing that feeding his family and paying his mortgage, was more important than his male ego, takes a number of temporary positions and surprisingly is considered a marvel, because of his incredible precision and speed on the keyboard. His daunting efforts lead him down a row of colorful characters, absurd interviews and rollicking jobs. The play is chocked full of amusing and touching scenes involving his friends, family and co-workers, in particular his dynamic children. The Temp, a full, 3-act stage play, presents a warm, loving story; and as is typical of all good fairy tales, has a happy ending, but Myron has to prove himself, which he does with grace and good humor.
Sad Note: Unfortunately, John Candy died March 4th 1994, and left a large hole in the world of comedy. Due to this tragedy, The Temp was returned by his agent. The play remained on the shelf until late 2009, when Greg Taylor's wife, Elizabeth, suggested that they publish the play online. On February 21, 2010, the renewed and digital play was published. (Play time is estimated to be about two and a half hours)
