Come one and come all to see me host the 23nd Grown Up Storytime. It’s like a beatnik poetry reading meets Saturday Night Live. Only $5 gets you entertainment.

What’s Boo Town‘s Grown Up Storytime? People write stories and send them into Boo Town. Boo Town then goes and finds comedians or actors and hands them the stories. What happens with the story after the performer receives the story is always a mystery. There are no rules so it’s always unpredictable, live and fun.

A Halloween show in November? That’s right peeps. That’s what happens when your parade gets rained on. I don’t want to hear any excuses, go watch some awesome outdoors theatre!

Is the horse upside down or the words? It's your call...

El Duende, based on Columbian folklore is BooTown’s Halloween show this year. For the past two years BooTown has done spooky themed shows Fitcher’s A Bastard (But His Birds Alright) in 2007 and Spaghetti Head last year.

El Duende is about a young married couple, myself and Colleen Moore, going to the country for a funeral. The husband is introduced to the strange family, played by Hoja Lopez, Jared Doreck, Blair Knowles, and David Glenn Spencer,  and traditions that his wife wishes she left behind. We soon learn that there is more than just embarrassing family members that makes the wife not want to return to the country…(scary music here).

This show is improvisational, based off an outline written by BooTown and carefully overseen by director Emily Hynds. I have had a blast working on this show and think that it will be fun to watch. It is outdoors in a back yard so bring a jacket!
