Staged By The Bell

1 7 99903 Staged By The Bell <h2 style="text-align: center;">(Episodes of “Saved By The Bell” performed LIVE) No, really. We mean it. Read on.</h2> Everyone remembers the 1990’s Saturday morning television show “Saved By the Bell” for its ridiculously delivered messages, over-the-top characters, and comedic dialogue that only a laugh track could love. The stars of the show went on to suck in such equally unimpressive projects as Showgirls, Beverly Hills 90210 and the worst season of NYPD Blue ever! Clearly it’s a body of work lacking the merit that would deserve homage. This is why The Institution Theatre feels that there is no better source material than Saved By The Bell for a full blown stage production with all the characters, dialogue, joy, laughter and life lessons completely and accurately in tact. Directed by Tom Booker, the man who has written and directed such theatrical extravaganzas as  “MANSON: The Musical”, “Patty, Patty, BANG! BANG! – The Patty Hearst Musical”, “Up With Puberty!” and “You, Me and LSD!” in the camp-tastic tradition of his previous hit Los Angeles stage adaptation of “Valley of the Dolls” (A stage adaptation of the 1968 film that eventually went to Off Broadway) as well as the Off-Broadway and Los Angeles run of “The Real Live Brady Bunch” in which he played Bobby. The cast of “Staged By The Bell” features: Patrick Daniels as Zach Morris, Lauren Forman as Kelly Kapowski , Bryan Cruz as A.C. Slater, Ellana Kelter as Jessie Spano, Bryan Roberts as Samuel ‘Screech’ Powers, Espie Randolph as Lisa Turtle, and Terrill Fischer as Principal Belding. Preceding “Staged By The Bell” will be an original live game show called “The Game Show” in which four lucky contestants will be selected from the audience and will get the opportunity to play fun games like and “Sing For Your Supper”, “High School Soap Opera” and “The Final Countdown” and win fabulous prizes donated by local Austin merchants. Esther’s Follies cast member, Ted Meredith will host“The Game Show” as fellow Esther’s Follies cast member Natalie Holmes plays the Sassy Spokesmodel. The inaugural run of “Staged By The Bell” will focus on the episode “Jesse’s Song” in which Elizabeth Berkley’s character overambitious nature gets her hooked on caffeine pills. Later performances will tackle other memorable episodes from the SBTB oeuvre. “Staged By The Bell” will be performed on Sunday evenings at 8 p.m. on August 2nd, August 9th, August 16th and August 23rd. At  The United States Art Authority at The Spider House, 2906 Fruth Street, Austin, TX.

One is a lonely stalker, who after googling his name, finds a gay porn star who shares his moniker. Their encounter then leads them both to a middle school bully turned stoner mechanic, also with the same name. What starts as a curiosity turns into an obsession that makes these three men’s worlds violently collide . The play is an insightful and entertaining window into our society's preoccupation with fame and recognition, and how internet innovations like blogs and online chats promote one's quest to be known, even as the same technology can lead to a debilitating isolation that increases the need for connection As words like “googlebator” (Entering your own name in a narcissistic search for website hits.) reach our daily vocabulary Capital T is proud to present the regional premiere of Jason Schafer’s comedic thriller as part of the FronteraFest 2008 Long Fringe. i google myself By Jason Shafer Directed by John Carroll Starring: Bastion Carboni, Jude Hickey, and Cliff Miller http://do512.com/event/2008/01/27/i-google-myself-by-jason-shafer http://do512.com/event/2008/01/27/i-google-myself-by-jason-shafer.xml Sunday 01/27/08 20080127T221500Z/20080127T221500Z false 0 3.5 04:15 PM Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:15:00 -0600 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:15:00 -0600 1 SUN http://www.capitalt.org http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/37265/googleweb__2__sq_90.jpg The Blue Theater 5191 The Blue Theater http://do512.com/venue/the-blue-theater http://do512.com/venue/the-blue-theater.xml
