Improvised Dickens
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009I’ve been very lucky to be casted in the Hideout Theatre’s run of improvised Charles Dickens stories. Rehearsals have been much more challenging than I anticipated. It’s a totally different critter than the other longform narrative stuff I’ve dabbled with. Dealing with language, dialect, and keeping your actions within the realm of Dickensian expectations is difficult. Tossing in Victorian England minutiae is fun though. Players will endow each other with hilariously British sounding names such as “Miss Pennyfoot” or “Thomas Floppytons”. And the antagonists will receive dreadful sounding names like “Mr. Thickstick” or “Col. Coldstone”. My favorite characters to play are irrelevant orphaned boys and overly feeble servants ( ala Smike from Nicolas Nickleby). It’s a strong cast and we go up on Satudays in Nov & Dec. I’ll be sure to post any photos, posters as they are published.
The Hideout Theatre Site Launch
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
For the last several months my friends whom own an improv theatre and I feverishly worked on a new site. Ideally, we wanted it to coincide with the theatre’s re-opening back in June but we realized that would’ve been insane and we probably all would’ve passed into the next life. But now it’s here! Have a look see at a new fully functioning site with an ecommerce design to match.
Dis-dress Signal
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009So Noah and I look very similar.
We were both scheduled to play Maestro one night and this happened…
Text message from last Saturday night when we were both scheduled again.
I’m gonna miss him when he goes to college and becomes too cool for me.
