Side Projects

* Trace Beaulieu and Bill Corbett will be the guest judges for a live show in Minneapolis called “PowerPoint Karaoke.” The game is this: Four people take the stage to give a PowerPoint presentation. The catch is: the presenters have never seen it before, and the slides are complete nonsense!
Performers will include Ari Hoptman, Phillip Andrew, Bennet Low, Courtney McLean and Joseph Scrimshaw. The show will be one night only, Monday Nov. 21, at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.) at the Bryant-Lake Bowl! Tickets are $12 ($10 with a 2011 MN Fringe Button or a CONvervgence badge). Call (612) 825-8949 or visit this site.

* Meanwhile the same group, Theatre Arlo, is now preparing to present “Man Saved by Condiments!” a play written by Mary Jo Pehl, based on the true story of a man whose car went off a bridge, broke his hip, and survived for five days by eating snow and the packets of condiments he found under his seat. (The production will be directed our pal Bill Stiteler).
The group has started a fundraising effort at Kickstarter to raise money to bring the show to New York City in February and March of 2012.

Also, Frank Conniff is making a guest appearance on a web show called “Space Hospital.”

    Wow, I’m amazed that the condiments story is real. Maybe they should get Heinz to be a corporate sponsor or something.

    PowerPoint Karaoke sounds like it was inspired by Dana Carvey’s one genuinely funny scene in “Clean Slate”.

    Frank looks good in “Space Hospital”.

    Does anyone else think the bald, bespectacled “ship’s commander” is a doppelganger for the “Percy Dovetonsils” scientist (and his brother) in “Monnster A-Go Go?”

    How is that different from any other PowerPoint presentation?

    By the way, Phillip Andrew Bennet Low is just one person (though he’s certainly prolific enough for two), and is — along with Joseph and Courtney — a member of the Rockstar Storytellers (Ari is a great storyteller as well, but may have a harder time with the “rockstar” label, he looks more like the rockstar’s accountant). Anyway, I may have to head to Uptown Monday night
