Artistic Director Matt Walker started the troupe and, with the help of longtime friend and foil, Beth Kennedy, continues to lead his merry band into the great theatrical unknown. Next up for the company is JULIUS WEEZER, which combines Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR and the music of Weezer to tell its tale of political intrigue Troubie style. Today, they talk about what it's like putting together a new show and why they keep on coming back for more.

Two For One Comedy Night at The Wagon Wheel Theatre-WARSAW, Indiana (February 12, 2013) - Calling all folks needing a good laugh! On Saturday, March 9th, the Wagon Wheel Theatre presents two nationally touring comedians…at one low price! This dual/headlining night of comedy features Dave Dugan, who has appeared over 200 times on The Bob and Tom show over the past two decades and contributed to over 25 Bob and Tom albums. One of Dugan's most recognizable characters is the politically incorrect, old-school BART McCALLISTER (of Bart and Sid fame). Dave's ability to adapt to each audience has made him a highly sought after comedian. His first national exposure was on the then ratings-leading Arsenio Hall Show and since has (aside from Bob and Tom) become a regular at the world famous Comedy Store in Hollywood and also has appeared numerous times on HBO, COMEDY CENTRAL and VH-1. You have likely heard Dugan on national commercials, as well. Also an award-winning voice actor, Dave can be heard on commercials that include Ford, Disney, Subway, Bass Pro, Edge Gel, Troy-Built Firestone, Erie Insurance, Dick's Sporting Goods and as a weekly voice for NASCAR programming on SPEED.

The cast recording of the Troubadour Theater Company's production of CHiPS THE MUSICAL has been released, Dress Circle reports.

October 2010 will mark the Falcon Theatre's 13th year in business. What a wonderful 13 years it has been! Our mission remains to make as many people laugh with live theatre as possible. Since we opened our doors, we have been committed to cultivating comedy through the voices of veteran stage actors and newcomers alike.

It's always great news when the Troubies return to the Falcon for their summer shows. Two seasons back they lampooned The Brady Bunch and maid Alice in Alice Through the Looking Glass and 60s/70s television sitcoms were never the same. This season they turn to TV drama and the 1977 blockbuster CHiPS - and for the very first time, ladies and gentlemen, the Troubies have created their very own musical score for CHiPS The Musical. Rick Batalla and Matt Walker play the simple-minded Ponch, played originally by Erik Estrada and John Baker, originally played byLarry Wilcox, respectively. Needless to say, skin tight uniforms, Ponch's sexy bod and John's perfect coiff aside, these guys bring new and obscenely funny meaning to being California Highway Patrolmen. Thank Heavens! The Troubies' outrageous parody/improv makes this dull show better than it was, or could be or ever hope to be!
