The Alley Theater reads the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy very well [Theater]

It turns out, all you need for an hysterical Saturday evening are four people, some microphones, polyester pants, and scripts of the Hitchhiker's Guide radio drama.

 

This past Saturday, the Alley Theater returned for part two of its live rendition of the BBC’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio drama. Four actors performed the lines, sounds, and background action into set up microphones, mimicking a recording studio in the 1970’s. Given such good material, the show predictably exhibited all the charm and playfulness of Douglas Adam’s words with some lively performances.

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." -Douglass Adams

Matrix Live! (A Parody) at Alley Theater this month [Theater]

Matrix Live! (A Parody) is hilarious, but pack a lunch: it's three hours long.

The Alley Theater once again amazes me with their creative talent for "making do". During Matrix Live! (A Parody), there is ONE piece of scenery on the stage for the entire play, and that is a large chair. It reminds me of t-shirts we had in our high school theater department: 

Matrix Live! (A parody) searches for the one in Louisville. [Theater]

The Alley Theater brings a parody of popular movie The Matrix to life on stage.

The "Wachowski Brothers" have seen soaring highs and dreadful lows during their search for "the one" to play the role of Neo. Will they find him in Louisville? They hope to at Alley Theater.
