IF YOU'RE COMING TO SEATTLE IN MAY CHECK THIS OUT
UNEXPECTED PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS BLACK EYED BLONDE
Unexpected Productions, best known for their comedic TheatreSportsÔ antics, presents Black Eyed Blonde, a completely improvised show in the style of Film Noir created and directed by Randy Dixon.
A shadowy band of improvisers take to the stage to perform in the film noir tradition of such films as Double Indemnity and This Gun for Hire. They take nothing with them but a clean shirt, brass knuckles, and a fistful of audience suggestions.
Characters and story are created from audience suggestions and developed over the course of the show.
If you like a good detective story, made up right before your eyes based on your suggestions, then you will love this show!
Black Eyed Blonde, with it's focus on style and story has toured the world and was chosen for the grand opening weekend at Ryan Stiles' Upfront Theater in Bellingham in 2004.
Black Eyed Blonde runs on Thursdays at 8:30PM May 8, May 15, May 29 and June 5. There is no show on May 22.
The show costs $12. However, if you tell the box office that you heard about this show through Jim French Productions or Imagination Theatre, you can get in for $5.00!
Unexpected Productions @ The Market Theatre 1428 Post Alley Seattle, WA 98101; (206) 587-2414

HELP US REACH YOUR LOCAL RADIO STATIONS
We know that many of our listeners find us on the Internet or through XM Satellite because the larger radio stations in their area don't carry Imagination Theater. We also know that this country is crisscrossed by hundreds, if not thousands, of smaller, independent stations serving their local community with news, community events and entertainment.
Recently we've been contacting a wide variety of those smaller stations to ask if they'd like to carry Imagination Theater. They've been very positive to hear from us. We find the stations through large state listings; which is very time consuming and limits how many people we can contact.
If you would like us to talk to your local station, it doesn't matter how small or how large it is, email us at jrfpress@yahoo.com with its call letters, and any information you can gather. We'll happy contact them to see if they'd like to add Imagination Theater to their programming.
