Film Production
The Ivy League - Feature Film
The Ivy League started filming this month in Atlanta. I have one scene in it, playing a Ben Stein-type character opposite the lead. It's a little bit of money but also a SAG project so the credit will count toward union eligibility.
Pre Production
I am workshopping three new long-form improv shows:
First, Writers Block is a show that tries to mirror the style and structure of a different author each month. We are hitting first the novels of Chuck Palahnuik -- author of Fight Club and Choke, among others.
A second show is an improvised movie, inspired by the work of the Improv Playhouse of San Francisco. We'll be doing Western genre first.
And for the third show, I just started rehearsing with a Ja CKPie team on improvised musicals. Very challenging.
Events
Relapse Grand Re-opening
We are busy re-opening the Relapse cabaret, ballroom, and bar this month; the work on bringing the building up to code was officially completed on October 20th. I've already got a new banner ordered for the front of the building and we're already using the cabaret for a haunted house through the end of the month. The bar will open as soon as the City and State to finish processing our paperwork.

I've got a dozen live performances lined up for October:
