"Get ready to match the stars!"

Named one of the Top 10 Performances of 2004 by The Advocate magazine, The MisMatch Game returns to the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theatre for two riotously unpredictable performances on Friday and Saturday, February 18 and 19, 2005. Producer and host Dennis "Gene Rayburn" Hensley will be joined onstage by a panel of some of L.A.'s most creative, celebrated and desperate comic minds.

The cast includes Patrick Bristow (Ellen) as Nancy Culp, Jennifer Elise Cox (The Brady Bunch Movie) as Elaine Joyce, Ted Biaselli as Tony Randall, Madeline Long (The Andy Dick Show) as Shelley Winters, Jack Plotnick (Girls Will Be Girls) as Evie Harris, Tony Tripoli (The Phacts of Life) as Charles Nelson Reilly, and more surprise guest stars.
With fabulous prizes for the audience contestants, it's time to dig out that leisure suit for an affectionate, irreverent, racy parody of '70s game show insanity.

Dennis Hensley is the author of the Los Angeles Times bestselling novel Misadventures in the (213) and its follow-up, Screening Party, a stage version of which he performed to packed houses at the Renberg Theatre and in New York. In his 14 years as a free-lance writer, he has published articles in Us, TV Guide, Premier, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, The Advocate, Time Out, and many more. Dennis also co-wrote the recently released feature film Testosterone, starring David Sutcliffe, Antonio Sabato Jr., Jennifer Coolidge and Sonia Braga. Dennis has appeared on numerous TV shows, in the feature film Girls Will Be Girls and is a regular guest host on SiriusOutQ satellite radio. In January 2004, he moderated panels at the Sundance Film Festival's first-ever Queer Lounge. www.dennishensley.com

The MisMatch Game is co-produced by Dennis Hensley and Jon Imparato, Director of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Lily Tomlin Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center. All proceeds from the performance will benefit the complete range of services and programs provided by the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.
