Improvised Scene Productions has developed a screen story (a.k.a. "treatment") that has gotten great feedback from both within and outside of the Hollywood film community. "Betty Brown for President!" is a comedy like nothing else you've ever read and provides a blueprint for a brilliant satire on American politics. "Betty Brown" imagines that a series of outrageous, yet logical, circumstances conspired to propel the unlikely candidate "Betty Brown" to the presidency 40 years ago, in 1976. This story has been compared favorably to the creations of the Coen and Farelly Brothers by many who have read it.

Ron House's original El Grande de Coca Cola was a huge hit and ran for 3 years off-Broadway. It's about the five-member Hernandez family, an in.your.face incompetent troupe of Mexican cabaret performers who have spent many many years performing in run-down over.the.border clubs. Now House returns with his latest version of the show, an ultra-satirical El Grande Circus de Coca Cola which sold out houses at the Skylight Theatre in Hollywood last summer. It has just reopened at the Colony in Burbank with the same cast headed by Marcelo Tubert as padre Pepe Hernandez. The family may be worthless performers but their Hispanic pride and ambition are unstoppable and drive them across the border into Burbank with the hope of full-out Hollywoodland success. It's lunacy with about a laugh every second, and under Alan Shearman's well-honed direction, the riotous troupe are bound to bring Colony audiences much pre-holiday joy through December 13.
