ABOUT THE SHOW

Remember those wonderfully cheesy, TV variety shows of yesteryear? Whether it was the music on The Ed Sullivan Show, comedy sketches on The Carol Burnett Show, down-home knee-slappers on Hee Haw, or the zany antics of Laugh-In or The Muppet Show, you never knew what to expect next – but it was sure to be entertaining!

 

Now a new performing arts company called Seven Lively Arts is bringing back the fun with THE MATINEE SHOW, a brand new, old-fashioned, live variety show. The show features comedy sketches by a young, professional cast, live music, door prizes, and a special guest each week.

 

Special guests include Kristi Loera from Live Theatre Workshop (May 19); Marilyn Cresci from The Red Hat Society (May 26); Sheila Foraker from Perimeter Bicycling Association of America (June 2); Ben Collinsworth from Tucson Botanical Garden (June 9); Susan Freud from The Mini-Time Machine Museum of Miniatures (June 16); James Reel from KUAT-FM Classical Radio (June 23); David Fitzsimmons, political cartoonist from Arizona Daily Star (June 30); and Bruce Bieszki from The Comedy Playhouse (July 7).

 

Anyone is welcome to suggest future guests on our website, www.TheMatineeShow.com.  If we bring them on the show, you’ll receive two free tickets to come see them!

 

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Seven Lively Arts (producer) is a new performing arts company created by nationally award-winning writer and former Tucson Weekly theater critic, Nathan Christensen. Its mission is to create unique theatrical events that focus on the aspects of live performance that film and TV cannot imitate: interacting with the viewer, engaging the imagination, and creating authentic, personal experiences. Upcoming projects include interactive plays designed to be performed in living rooms and private gatherings, and audio-based plays where the spectators become the performers.

 

Nathan Christensen (writer) received his MFA in musical theater writing from New York University, and has studied under such writers as William Finn (Spelling Bee, Elegies), Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Seussical), and Michael John LaChiusa (Hello Again, The Wild Party). With his writing partner, Scott Murphy, he has received a Richard Rodgers Award and a Jonathan Larson Award, and was named to the Dramatists Guild’s “50 to Watch” list. Their musical adaptation of Lois Lowry’s novel The Giver was showcased in New York last fall, starring Broadway legend Terrence Man in the title role, and will be seen this summer in festivals at Theatreworks (Palo Alto, CA) and The Village Theatre (Seattle, WA).

 

Megan Mioduski (director) graduated with her Masters in Acting from the Actors Studio Drama School in New York. During her time in school, she was featured on two episodes of Inside the Actors Studio and had the opportunity to study with prominent Equity actors. She learned techniques in Stanislavski, Meisner, Stella Adler, and many more. After graduation, she spent a year performing in New York until she was signed by the Los Angeles agency Avalon Artists. Megan has been directing theater in NY and LA for the past five years and is excited to bring her knowledge and expertise back to Tucson.

 

ABOUT THE CAST

MICAH BOND is only nineteen years old, but has been performing in theater productions around Tucson for six years.  With Christian Youth Theater he performed the roles of Captain Hook, the Cowardly Lion, and, most recently, Curly in Oklahoma!  In addition, he took the stage in Red Barn Theater's production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum as Captain Miles Gloriosus.  Micah has earned a Bachelor's degree in Communications, and plans to pursue an additional degree in Musical Theatre at the University of Arizona.

 

ANTHONY KEECH is a comedic actor who has been acting not only around Tucson, but also has taken his talents to most recently New York City for International Model and Talent (IMTA), where he won Best Actor for Theatre, Sitcom, and Commercial Print. Anthony's production experience includes performing in The Glass Menagerie, The Taming of the Shrew, and Arsenic and Old Lace, and was voted Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor by his peers in those productions. Anthony is currently attending the theater program at Pima Community College, and is currently with talent agency Tucson Model Group.

 

REBECCA SWEET is an actor and dancer whose past theatre credits include Zombies from the Beyond (Zombina), The Music Man (Marian), 42nd Street (Chorus Girl), and various principal roles in musical theatre and opera showcases, including scenes from Phantom of the Opera, Chess, and ! Rebecca also worked as a stuntwoman and gunfighter with the Dragoon Street Players at Trail Dust Town, and she has performed with several ballet companies, both as a soloist and corps de ballet member.

Film Forward mirrors the diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints it promotes, underscoring the importance of mutual understanding and respect for other cultures and traditions that is at the heart of cultural exchange.

HEAD: THE MUSICAL!
Written and Directed by Kevin Fry
Just Three More Performances
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 7:30 p.m.
May 26, 27 and 28

What fun we've had with this wacky cast and the responses from our audiences. But now it's time to come to a close. In fact, we're closing a day earlier than we expected due to the good fortune of one of our cast members who has been called to perform this summer out of state and must leave this coming Sunday to make her debut in Texas. We are a community theatre and there's nothing that makes us prouder than to see one of our home grown talents spread wings and fly.

To celebrate Memorial Day weekend, we're having a ticket sale. On Thursday, May 26 only, tickets will be $10 when you use the code THURSPM online, by phone or at the door. Otherwise, the ticket is $18. And it's the same $18 on Friday and on Saturday.

So join us to give this great cast a fond farewell and have some laughs on us.

Head: The Musical! is an ‘R’-rated pop/rock adaptation of the classic 1960’s ‘B’ movie The Brain that Wouldn’t Die, Head is crazy, campy, crass, full of frights, and thoroughly hilarious. This musical was created by Arizona resident, Kevin Fry, and was an audience favorite at the 2009 Phoenix Fringe Festival before running for 5 months in Hollywood, where it received 3 LA Weekly Award nominations. Head draws favorable comparisons to Little Shop of Horrors and Evil Dead: the Musical and has been called a Rocky Horror for the Family Guy generation. This Tucson premiere features brand-new material and the sensational choreography of Mickey Nugent. It’s a theatrical event you can’t afford to miss!

Dr. Bill Cortner has been conducting illegal experiments with human transplants. On a drive with his girlfriend, Jan, Bill is distracted by Jan’s naughty behavior and a car wreck ensues. Jan is decapitated. Not to fear, Bill keeps Jan's head alive on a table using a special serum while he goes out to search for a new (preferably voluptuous and nubile) body. Meanwhile, Jan develops psychic powers and a thirst for revenge!

The cast includes Kristina Sloan, Kevin Fry, China Young, Lucas Gonzales, Scott O’Brien, Tashiana Holt, Jim Klingenfus, and Evan Werner.

Note: Strong language, sexual content and violence make this production only appropriate for mature audiences.

Active Imagination Theatre Closing Cowboys and Fairies This Weekend

When greedy developers want to spoil a magical part of the desert, cowboys and fairies have to band together to stop them. This is the story that will be developed with the help of children ages four to eight on the stage with our Active Imagination Theatre at Beowulf Alley Theatre on May 28, 2011 at 12 noon. This 40-minute venture into creativity is both fun and educational for children and will bring joy to the hearts of their parents as they help to develop the story and find a resolution to save the desert. We encourage them to dress in their cowboy and fairy outfits and help our team of adult actors. Each performance is just a little different as the children who are present help to create the story through their active imaginations.

Saturday, noon, May 28.

Online tickets: $8 adults (at least the day before), $5 children 4-12, children 3 and under are free when seated in parents lap. Tickets at the door or by phone are $10 for adults with children the same price as online.
