Directing, Thrills, and Adventures.

As some of you know, I am peripherally involved with the incredibly talented folks who put on The Thrilling Adventure Hour at Largo in LA every month (they were doing it for years over at M-Bar in Hollywood but recently moved.) The cast are an astonishingly versatile and hard working band of performers who never cease to delight their sold out audiences.

Anyway, after years hovering on the periphery, I finally got chance to “direct” the show this month. To be honest, long time Thrilling Adventure director Aaron Ginsburg did all the hard work, I’m just having some fun working with the actors and messing with the script here and there while he’s busy doing… I’m not sure what. But it’s a joy to be involved. In a world usually filled with horror movies and the like, live theatre, not to mention comedy, is like a breath of fresh air for me.

Most of the regular cast are folks I have known for years, and all are great friends. But, just like The Simpsons, one of the things that keeps the show fresh as new episodes are rolled out each month, is the parade of guest stars lending their talents. This month’s guest stars include Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle), Linda Cardellini (ER, Freaks & Geeks), Martin Starr (Party Down, Freaks & Geeks), and Dave Foley (News Radio, Kids in the Hall). They were all absolute delights to work with, and I can’t wait to see how it all plays in front of a packed house tomorrow night!
