this place

If you haven't been to this place yet, what the hell are you waiting for? We've got the Curious Comedy Covers show this weekend and next weekend and the Portland Neutrino Project each weekend in August. There is no reason you should be looking for comedy anywhere else.

I'm not sure

Have you seen how sweet this little guy is? I know, it's been a while - so you might as well take in a little reminder of how goddamn cute Arlo is. Seriously, it doesn't get much cuter than this dumb little mutt. (he also poses for glamour shots)

New Shows startin' up

Two big things started this week at the theater, 1) we are preparing the cast for the Summer 2010 Portland Neutrino Project. We have started the rehearsals for next month's Neutrino Project. With a cast of 16, I have six of them as returning participants - so TEN BRAND NEW PEOPLE who have never seen a Neutrino Project before. That makes it tough, but the rehearsals are fun. We're streamlining the format in an effort to make a better movie. I think it's going to work. You should check it out every Friday and Saturday in August at 8pm.

2) We have begun rehearsals for our next full sketch show. It will open in October and have an experimental format. Right now we're still working it out, but we're looking at doing a certain number of scenes in a specific amount of time in random order. We will have areal artists and a musical director, performer/writers and just writers. So, a lot of people will be working on this show that, as of right now - has no specific format other than "Variety Show". It's going to be crazy fun. The cast is awesome.

stop doing terrible improv

Please,
If you are a college improv group and you're having fun doing short form improv and being really jokey and hilarious, do me a favor and stop. Learn about what you're doing.
If you ever are on stage and you say a line and then look out to the audience for approval - stop performing. Stop doing improv and stop performing all together. You are doing it for all the wrong reasons. You are an asshole and you shouldn't be on stage.
It makes me angry. Sorry for my tirade.
