Divine Comedy 2010
Orgy
Director: Wiktor Rubin
It is not a tale of the body, the pleasure, and the delight, but a theatre study of Power. The monotonous and systematic chain of cruelty and violence that a man and a woman deal to each other is meant to illustrate the principle of supremacy over another human. Violence is the essence of power. In this play, Wiktor Rubin changes the foundations of his directing style, leaving the collages of alterations and formulas aside. He provokes a performance that should disrupt the spectators’ sense of security, and test the mechanisms of linguistic, carnal, and situational enthrallment. We do not understand what Power is until we are wronged, until we have realised how hurt we have been. Thus, every action of the two actors within the space of the play must be aimed not only against each other but also against the spectators. The reactions of the onlookers are filmed and shown on screens; actors take away women’s handbags and comment upon their contents; they search the men, and lock some in boxes on stage, forcing them into mock sexual intercourses. Eroticism becomes lined with fear, intimacy is exposed to the public eye. The Gdańsk staging evokes powerful emotions in an experiment that may be rejected, yet in which one may also get lost.

I think comedy, and by extension comedy clubs, is the best thing in life.
Nothing else can have such an effect on people, causing some to go from their saddest state ever to their happiest... or the reverse possibly ;)
But one of the great benefits of comedy is a look into culture and how certain people live.
I think when tourists visit a country that is not their own, that if they don't have the time to talk to a mass amount of residents to become one with their new city, that paying to see a comedy show should be mandatory. Nothing else can introduce a tourist into another's culture quite like a comedy club can.
And that's what Sonia and I did.
I had never been to the UK before a few weeks ago, and Sonia had only been there a few weeks herself when I got there. While she and I both had been talking to a few British on our own time, there's no way we could've grasped the culture as quickly as when went to the show -- it was probably my greatest experience in the whole trip.
Everything that we already had learned over those four days were regurgitated quite hilariously, and we learned oh so much more about the British psyche. Their uptightness, their semi-racism, their attitude towards the government... it was all too enlightening!
And because we went to the midnight show (9 pounds) that got out at around 2 or 3 in the morning when the Tube is closed, we got to take the bus back to our hotel... and, if it's possible, the buses were better organized than the subways.... That city was awesome :D

Group photo of the cast and some of the crew of Snow White, our holiday musical comedy, which we performed from December 22 to 30, 2017 at the Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley. This photo was shot by Tim Stone, with direction by Fabrice Florin and Amy Marie Haven.
Our version of Snow White turns the classic fairy tale into a mirror to reflect our modern times, mixing witty dialogue with political commentary, toe-tapping song and dance, performed by players of all ages and backgrounds. Our holiday panto invited the audience to play an active role in the show, and they booed the villains, cheered the heroes and sang along with us.
Community theater is good for the soul, whether you’re an actor or in the audience. This play was a truly cathartic experience, which invited us all to let out our feelings in the theater's sacred space and join our hearts together.
Kudos to our wonderful director Nicole Helfer, producer Amy Marie Haven, playwright Tyler Null, music director Ed Bogas, set designer Steve Coleman, choreographer June Cooperman, costume designer Charlene Lundgren Frischer, sound designer Edwin De Shazo and the Throckmorton's visionary director Lucy Mercer, to name but a few.
I'm grateful to you all and to our amazing cast and crew for this opportunity to grow as an artist. I hope to work again with these talented group to create more community theatre.

Please click and read this whole thing. My mother and I were driving down 290 one day and passed the longest tralier bed we had ever seen. It was kind of annoying until I looked and noticed that although the bed appeared to be empty, there was actually a load being hauled. If you look *reeeally* closely you will see ... the Tonka truck. No, I'm not kidding. Funniest. Thing. Ever.
Flat Earth Theatre presents "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" January 8-16, 2010. Featuring Greg Reimann, James Hayward, and Justus Perry. Directed by Sarah Kimball. Factory Theatre, Boston.
Drop the Dead Donkey was a situation comedy that first aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom between 1990 and 1998. It is set in the offices of "GlobeLink News" , a fictional TV news company. Recorded close to transmission , it made use of contemporary news events to give the programme a greater sense of realism . It was created by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin . The series had an ensemble cast, making stars of Haydn Gwynne, Stephen Tompkinson and Neil Pearson .
The series began with the acquisition of GlobeLink by media mogul Sir Roysten Merchant , an allusion to either Robert Maxwell or Rupert Murdoch . Indeed , Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin note on their DVDs that it was fortunate for their libel lawyers that the two men shared the same initials . The series is mostly based on the ongoing battle between the staff of GlobeLink , led by editor George Dent , as they try to maintain the company as a serious news organisation , and Sir Roysten’s right-hand man Gus Hedges , trying to make the show more sensationalist and suppress stories that might harm Sir Roysten’s business empire.
The show was awarded the Best Comedy (Programme or Series) Award at the 1994 BAFTA Awards. At the British Comedy Awards the show won Best New TV Comedy in 1990, Best Channel 4 Comedy in 1991, and Best Channel 4 Sitcom in 1994.
