Posted by Sampo, on November 11th, 2011 UPDATE: Love to get some reports on these shows!
Ed Huyck has a nice piece in the Minneapolis City Pages about this.
Bill Corbett and a funny fellow named Joseph Scrimshaw previously co-wrote the play “My Monster,” and last year Joseph starred in Bill’s “Super-Powered Revenge Christmas.”
The two are now teaming up (once again under the “Joking Envelope” banner) for “Cinemadness,” “a comedy/variety show about the movies” in which Bill and Joseph “obsess over every aspect of the movie experience! Featuring comedy, music, an audience quiz, special guests and ironically, no actual movies whatsoever!”
The show will be presented at the always-sophisticated Bryant Lake Bowl Cabaret Theater, 810 W. Lake St., in South Minneapolis. All shows will be at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.).
The shows will be Saturday, Nov. 5, (with guest star Ari Hoptman, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 11-12 (with guest star Kevin Murphy), Monday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 19 (with guest star Trace Beaulieu).
Tickets are $14 with reservations in advance, $18 on the day of show. Call 612-825-8949

MALIBU, Calif. — Margaret Field O’Mahoney, who used the stage name Margaret Field when she appeared in dozens of TV and movie roles from the 1940s to the 1970s, died at her home here Nov. 6, after a six-year struggle with cancer. She may be best remembered at the star of the 1951 sci-fi classic “The Man From Planet X.” She was 89. Her daughter is actress Sally Field, and she died on her daughter’s birthday.
Field gave up acting in her mid-thirties to focus on family and eventually helped raise her seven grandchildren.
MSTies may remember her very last role, as a nurse in the TV movie “The Stranger,” shown in episode 305- STRANDED IN SPACE.
