Hello Friends!

How are you?

I apologize for not journalling, um, at all. But there's something I'm DYING to tell you, and this is the fastest way I can do it. Unless if I pull off some fantastic caper, get caught for it, and end up on television. Hmmmm... a summer caper? Maybe later.

For now, I wanted to let you know about this super-fun-action-packed-no-holds-barred-wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am show I'm part of!

Strawdog Theatre has put together another fabulous Radio Theatre Show! I get to make lotsa silly noises. You LOVE silly noises. "Fame: Live Forever" had a grand opening this weekend and will be running Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from June 2 - June 23.

You want synopsis?
----------------------------------------------
A new batch of live radio from one of the minds behind our lean and critically acclaimed cuttings of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Measure for Measure, polished by a sharp young director whose work has been featured four times in Collaboraction's Sketchbook. The programme includes ...

--Crime on the Rocks. Meet Nelly Quinn, Private Investigator. Oversexed, overbearing and overserved. This is not your father's PI. In this episode Nelly falls for her client as she tries to solve the mystery of supposed threats to America's sweetheart, bubblegum singer Blaire Blaine.

--Picklebot and Lawfer: The Final Mission. 4 Freedom. 4 Serious. IV. You have cheered for these heroes time and time again. So get ready to cheer again...again. A freak earthquake puts Greenland in possession of an atomic liquid that makes it the most powerful country in the world. With the freedom of the world in peril, will Picklebot and Lawfer shower victory in red, white and blood?

--Pop Song. The SRT World Service brings you a special feature on the Gilroy Rovers. In 1989 they took the U.K. by storm with their chart-topping hit 'Pop Song'. Their time at the top did not last long and they fell into the pop culture oblivion. Then, in 2007, British rapper Mind the Gap samples their song and brings the group back into the spotlight. A second chance for for fame and glory? SRT commentator Stacy Winterburn files this special report.
10 PERFORMANCES ONLY!

Tickets just $15 the rest of the run! Or, I have some comps and 2-fer-1 tickets for those of you who can only afford culture in cottage cheese form. Mmmm. Cottage cheese.

The show is just a smidgen over an hour long, located at the charming Strawdog Theatre at 3829 N. Broadway. There's an IHOP nearby. We can get cottage cheese and flapjacks later. Could you think of a more perfect evening?

*Suffer from agoraphobia but still want to hear the show? You're in luck. It's not called "Radio Theatre" for nuthin'!
Tune in to the show at www.strawdog.org and hit "PLAY" during showtimes. We have the technology. We stream it LIVE.
Theatre that you can get while sitting around in your skivvies, slurping on a slushee or eating a peanut butter-and-ketchup sammich, laughing as loud as you'd like and burping out appreciation? YES. YES YOU CAN!

I think that's about all I can say about that. Hope to see you there!

I hope you're doing well, to hug you soon and talk to you even sooner.

wheeeeeeeee!
