Washington Improv Theater Presents: Seasonal Disorder

Seasonal Disorder 2008 Playbill

This Thursday night at 8pm Washington Improv Theater (“WIT”) kicks off its annual holiday themed run of shows beginning with a sneak preview of ONESIXTYONE’s “Seasonal Disorder“.  The preview is open to a general audience and the price is “pay what you can”.  Tickets will be priced at $15 for each subsequent performance except for OPENING NIGHT this Friday.

For $25, OPENING NIGHT includes a talkback with cast and director after the show, a wine-and-cheese reception, backstage tour, and admission to the 9:30PM iMusical performance.

Seasonal Disorder is made up of DC’s most talented and SEASONED long form improvisors and me.   Collectively, we have about 114 years of improv training and  performance between us and can list Second City, Improv Olympic and Upright Citizens Brigade as places we’ve passed in cabs.  Just kidding!  Cabs are for millionaires!

Tickets will go fast so click the links above to get tickets.  All of WIT’s ensembles are performing in the run with new shows of their own.  I will also be performing with my gloroius team Season Six on Saturday nights.   We have a dynamite format and two new players to show off. 

WIT’s run begins November 19th and ends on January 2nd.  Click here for a full schedule of shows.

WIT performs at Source located conveniently between Cafe St. Ex and Bar Pilar on 14th St. & T St. NW.

Three Cheers For Dan Hodapp & His First Jimmy Fallon Appearance

The only thing that made staying in on Friday night bearable was being home to see my dear friend Dan’s appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  He was cast as the “groom” for a bit they filmed on Friday the 13th.  He really sold “surprised groom”.  I cried and that ain’t just the Hydrocodone talking… maybe whispering.  His appearance was brief but the camera stayed on him long enough for all of us cheering at home to get a glimpse of that money maker mug.  WIT and DC’s loss is truly New York City’s gain.  We miss you buddy and can’t wait to see more!

I Can Has A Cheeseburger

Internet,

Thank you for entertaining my shenanigans as I come out of my post-op pain killer stupor.  It’s been well over 48 hours since my surgery and according to my release form I can attempt to eat solid foods now.  Ummmm…. no ma’am.  I haven’t really been in any pain and I’d like to keep it that way.  Call me a snore but gambling on the physical integrity and comfort level of my jawbone is not what I’m about.   So you can keep your T-bones, your French baguettes, your hard shell tacos, your peanut brittle… your… your… other other foods that require an adult set of molars to breakdown!  What I am about is Easy Mac.

This crap is delicious.  In less time than it takes for me to find my take-out menus on 2 Hydrocodone, I can slap together a bowl of cheesy pasta so soft, I eat it with my big girl cereal spoon.

Yeah, I take bit bites with my big girl cereal spoon!   Yeah, I swallow it whole.  Yeah, it’s soft!  Yeah, it fills me up!  Yeah, sometimes I have pudding after if I’m not too full and there’s some in the fridge! What!

So as you can just chew on that, Internet!  Uh, sorry.  I think the meds and being cooped up for days in my apartment have made me oddly aggressive.

Have a lovely weekend,

t

 

 

 

In Praise of Jebus…

Yeah.  I’m out of surgery now for a few hours.  I have no pain.  I’ve had no pain all day.  You know what I have had???????  Mmmm Vicodin.  It’s delicious.  Here try it.  I’m passing you one through the screen.  No f’real.  Take it.  I have so many!  You’re cool.  You know what else is cool.  Vicodin…Lenny Kravitz and those cell phone video watches I’m sure they have in Japan.  I want one.

 

Ok later.  I love you.

Teeth Out, Vicodin In

Tomorrow I’m getting all my wisdom teeth removed from my head.  Yeah, I’m nervous and all that but I’m more afraid of saying weird things to the surgical staff when I come out of my deep sleep.  I’ve never been put under and I don’t know what’ll come out of my mouth (other than my teeth).  I have a hard enough time clearly communicating as it is without generating looks of bewilderment from an unassuming audience.

NURSE:  Okay, we’re all done Ms. Tara.  You’re just waking up.

TARA:  I never said I would do the lawn!  Where’s my favorite pair of pants from 1983?  Chocolate popcorn is delicious!  I smell purple!
