2009-06-24T21:12:00.010-06:00

Come see Holly and I in this whacky play.

The first two weeks of the play "Foreigners" are under our belt, and WOW! (see previous post for full info). Good turn out, and great feedback from attendees. Marcus says "Crazy, confusing, bizarre, out there...never seen anything like it...made me think, made me grateful". One e-mail we received: "Though I had a little hesitation, I went and saw a really different and action packed play last night; "Information for Foreigners". I found it to be thought provoking and emotion evoking.I recommend everyone go check it out…" Rob Roy. See what the reporter wrote in her review after watching it..she nailed it in her summation, was impressed. CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW!
See Holly in the article picture..she is one on ground :). Come check it out, and see Pirates of Penzance in July when opens. Support live theatre, get out, ITS FREE..and different!!

See the theater web site, and playing now for info on Foreigners...and upcoming on Pirates. http://www.the73rdavenuetheatrecompany.com/

Chris found this article about this play.

Information for Foreigners

By Griselda Gambaro

As a drama of dolor, disbelief, and disappearances, Information for Foreigners literally leads audiences through scenes of torture and brutality. Gambaro sculpted this experimental piece of theatre in order to have audience members become part of the play as a real life event. Using her experiences as an Argentinean during the Dirty War and Disappearances, Gambaro blurred the lines of what is considered theatrical, ridiculous, realistic, and horrible. As tour guides walk audiences through various rooms, we see actors rehearsing theatrical deaths, police torturing prisoners, children playing while their parents are taken from them. Throughout these scenes, tour guides explain to audiences that these are all based on true stories from different parts of Argentina in 1971. Combining puppetry, shadow work, dance, bilingualism, and acting techniques, this production highlights the importance of the Disappearances as history and as a stark allegory for our lives today. 21 actors take on multiple roles of oppressor/oppressed, male/female, alive/dead, actor/audience and many more dualistic, complex relationships to show audiences a ridiculous and nightmarish world of oppression and tribulation.

Play I am in 'Foreigners"

2009-06-16T15:59:00.004-06:00

So a fella has got to grow and broaden his horizons and scope!! I diverted from comedy this summer to be in this wild show - “Information for Foreigners”, a crazy and fun play (well fun for the actors..gripping for the audience) up north near I-36 and Federal. It’s FREE, so you can come a couple times over the summer if you like. The 73rd. Ave. Theatre Company presents this educational and social awareness experience- June 16 to August 25 at the 73rd. Avenue Playhouse, 7287 Lowell Blvd. in Westminster. Performances are every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

This piece is a unique interactive adventure in which the audience walks from scene to scene watching the play. The play confronts us with the repression suffered by civilians from the oppressive governments of South America. It is for mature/adult audiences, 16 and up…if you know those 18-35 years olds that may not fully understand the true freedom we enjoy here in America typically, by all means bring them along to see what it looks like when freedom (even life) is threatened. Though heavy themes, adult language, and intense…many scenes are in odd satire and animation, with crazy antics that entertain and at times confuse…it will not all be dark/harsh, and likely you will never see the likes of it again. See the web site for this and other upcoming shows/auditions. www.the73rdavenuetheatrecompany.com

By the way, other great options here are: “The Wizard of Oz”..a childrens show, on Saturdays at 1:30 and Sundays at 11:00 through June 28. “The Pirates of Penzance,” July 10 to August 23, my dsughter Holly in this one. The National Premiere of “Muriel’s Memoirs”* September 4 to October 4. “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie, October 16 to November 22. A December holiday show to be announced.

Bovine finals a success

2009-01-20T08:42:00.001-07:00

Thanks to all that came out and supported me satuday the 17th!! WOWIEE!!! It was really awesome all the way around. Sold out/high energy crowd/great stand up with fun and funny/Jake at his best…the whole night was exiting and well worth it. The winner Elliot was “off the chain” funny, and Jordon Z. who took second was a hoot…..these guys will likely be seen in big venues by all some day. I was happy with my 3rd place finish, and the other 3 guys were great as well. If you were there we all thank you for the support and energy, I was beyond pleased with all the friends and family I had show up…over 25. if you could not make it, I would encourage you to come down to the Bovine for their Improv and sketch comedy sometime soon….they are really the best kept secret for fun downtown. They have some super talented people, shows of all kinds in normal time frames versus the Bleu cow midnight time, and they are affordable and family friendly during the week. Check ‘em out. http://www.bovinemetropolis.com

I plan to hit some normal time shows down the road, pursue this a bit…I will e-mail and post info on the blog…

Fred (Hawk) Longmore......

Fred is on the Loose!

2008-08-26T10:26:00.016-06:00

Fred Longmore's life has always been a mini series of hysterical happenings... the youngest of 6, he never runs out of stories about his beyond nutty family! Many have become classics you'll want to hear again and again, and now Fred is going on the road!

He has been doing public speaking for 20 years and making friends, family, and innocent bystanders laugh for twice that long. You will enjoy his unique delivery style, with PG-13 humor as his standard, yet he can "bring it" when the need and occasion dictate...like at the upcoming Bovine Metropolis Theatre "Bleu Cow". Come see him and others on September 27th at midnight
