The MET Theatre Presents Sketch Comedy
By: James Sims
The MET Theatre, in Hollywood, Calif., and Canfro Productions will stage a newly expanded edition of Anthony Q. Farrell's The Audacity, beginning November 10, 2006.
Billed as "Fun at the MET," The Audacity is a sketch comedy show, which premiered last July in a sold-out shorter version. Farrell was nominated for an NAACP Theatre Award earlier this year for directing his play Room, also at the MET."Storylines of sketches include: The trial of Saddam; A heat wave in the Deep South; The collection of donations for a breast-milk bank; Dueling Bill Cosby impersonators (one of them white); A blind man really pissed off about his visual impairment; What happens when you pick figs for a living; A young Italian-American woman brings her new Black boyfriend home at dinner time; An assassin assigned to kill babies to prevent their future felonies; A study of failed comedy sketches; An examination of pre-marital education; A classic pop song around the campfire; Guys who use their butts to substitute for stars' posteriors in films; A scout for porno film talent; The confirmation of every nightmare you have ever had about dialing 911," state notes.
