Beginning Saturday night, Feb. 22, and then monthly for the next three months (March 22, April 26, May 24), the Philadelphia FringeArts Festival show Study Hall will be returning to the Adrienne Theater in Center City for an hour of history and improv.
Study Hall, directed by Philadelphia Improv Theater’s Mike Marbach, works like this: yours truly tells a wacky story from the history of science, medicine or public health, and then an amazingly talented group of improv comics uses that information to, well, improv hilarious (warning: sometimes raucous) comedy.
Study Hall features: David Donnella, Frank Farrell, A.J. Horan, Jessica Ross, Andrew Stanton, Becca Trabin, Aaron Unice, Caitlin Weigel, Corin Wells, Addie Weyrich, and Professor Michael Yudell. Directed by Mike Marbach.
Philly’s improvised movie-making crew, Not Yet Rated, returns from the dead with An Improvised Horror Comedy: bonus shows on October 11th at Brauhaus Schmitz and October 24th at SideQuest Theater, then October 28th through 30th at Plays & Players Theatre!
In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris, Karie and Mike discuss two brand new episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. First is S4E7, “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass,” in which Captain Pike finds himself trapped into a soap-opera-esque fantasy world. Then, in S4E8, “Orders of Magnitude,” an admiral takes command of the Enterprise, and he may not be working with the most functioning moral compass. Enjoy!
Tick tock! The newest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, S4E6, “Off Hour,” is a real pressure cooker and a return to tense Star Trek! We have a space crisis that leaves the ship in critical condition, we have matters of life and death, and most of all we have a ticking clock! In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris, Mike and Karie discuss this new episode! Topics include: split-screens, casting notes, and more! Enjoy!
In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman-Hinners and Michael Henley discuss two episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. For the first, we take a trip to the land of film noir, black and white, and Casablanca. Join us for a discussion of S4E4 – “A Case of Chiaroscuro”. Then….Star Trek Puppets?! It happened, via the Jim Henson Creature Shop, and we’re gonna talk about it. The crew transforms into felt figures and antics ensure. Join us for this discussion of S4E5 – “Level Five Transporter Accident.”
Things are getting stranger! And funnier. In this episode, the Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman-Hinners and Michael Henley discuss the continuing season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Shore leave on a vacation planet is more intoxicating than expected–and in the end, a little more sobering. So long as we can solve the mystery of a missing shuttlecraft and crew members. It’s time for S4E3 – “Human Best Friend.”
