"Live. Love. Laugh!"

Saturday, Mar. 15, 2006
7:30 PM

Verde Valley Theatre is pleased to present the Abandoned Minds show titled “Live. Love. Laugh!”. This audience inspired improvisational theatre show “is guaranteed to shift your mood from black and white to technicolor" as they swirl though their improv comedy dance.

If you've never seen Abandoned Minds, make it a point to go. The improv troupe has been performing together for four years now and has grown to become a very tight ensemble. The troupe’s forte is the ability to take the audience on an imaginative roller coaster ride throughout the evening via comedy and drama.

They give the audience a full improv theatre experience—including short form (“Whose Line is it Anyway” style games), long form (20 minute organic play based on an audience suggestion) and the always popular Musical Improv (creating songs in the moment).

Doors open at 7:00 PM show is at 7:30
in the Clark Memorial Clubhouse Auditorium
Clarkdale, AZ
All Tickets are $10.00 and may be purchased at the door or
ordered online at

VVT Production of THE BEST MAN Opens Feb. 22

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 04:04:00 GMT

Verde Valley Theatre�s production of THE BEST MAN, by Gore Vidal, plays Feb. 22 through March 9 at the Clark Memorial Clubhouse in Clarkdale. The play is a sparkling political drama, set in the 1960�s, about two candidates vying for the Democratic Presidential nomination. William Russell, the ex-Secretary of State, is a wit and scholar with high liberal principles, beloved of the eggheads and suspected by practical politicians. Joseph Cantwell is a ruthless and hard-driving young man, a dirty fighter who will let no scruples stand in the way of his ambitions. And Arthur Hockstader is an ex-President, who loves politics for their own sake, admires a rough-and-tumble battler more than a chivalrous one, and is determined to have the final say in the selection of his party�s candidate. The ruthless young man has got hold of papers indicating that his rival once suffered from a mental crackup, which he is all set to use. Then his scrupulous antagonist comes across some incriminat
ing evidence about Cantwell, which he is loath to produce. The scruples don�t appeal to the ex-President, who enjoys seeing the boys fight.
Audiences are sure to enjoy this riveting production, which is particularly timely during this primary election season.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening performances are at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees are at 2:00 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the performance. All performances are at the Clark Memorial Clubhouse in Clarkdale. Reserved tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $6 for students. Tickets are $2 extra when purchased at the door. Opening Night tickets, which include a wine and cheese reception at 6:30 p.m., are $5 extra (no extra charge to Season Subscribers). Visit the Verde Valley Theatre website at www.verdevalleytheatre.com for further details and to purchase tickets online, or call the box office at 649-0626 to reserve tickets for the performance of your choice.

ABANDONED MINDS Improv Group to Perform in Clarkdale

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 05:51:00 GMT

(Mailing list information, including unsubscription instructions,
is located at the end of this message.)
__

Event: �Live. Love. Laugh!�, an Improv show by Abandoned Minds
Dates: Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25 & 26 at 7:30 p.m.
Location: Clark Memorial Clubhouse in Clarkdale
Cost: $10
Contact: VVT ticket office at 649-0626 or Kerry Biondo at 928-821-4302

If you�re looking for some original entertainment this winter, Verde Valley Theatre is pleased to present the Abandoned Minds show titled �Live. Love. Laugh!�. This audience inspired improvisational theatre show �is guaranteed to shift your mood from black and white to technicolor� according to Kerry Biondo, performer and creative director of Sedona�s audacious Improv troupe known as Abandoned Minds.

Back by popular demand, the ensemble will be performing Friday and Saturday, January 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. This event will take place at the Clark Memorial Clubhouse , located at 19 N. 9th St. in Clarkdale.

If you haven�t seen Abandoned Minds lately, make a point to. The troupe has been performing together for four years now and have grown to become a very tight ensemble. The troupes forte is the ability to take the audience on an imaginative roller coaster ride throughout the evening via comedy and drama. They give the audience a full Improv theatre experience�including short form (�Whose Line is it Anyway� style games), long form (20 minute organic play based on an audience suggestion) and the always popular musical Improv (creating songs in the moment).

The company is directed by Improv veteran Kerry Biondo who had the good fortune of studying the Del Close method of Improv in Chicago 15 years ago. This style places an emphasis on the �group mind� concept that develops during Improv when everything done is accepted, and the player�s minds become wired together to create a �Supermind�. The �superminds� in this troupe are Marah Adelson, JC Alvarez, Kerry Biondo, Derek Dujardin, Chad Graf, Brad Luky, Tom Puetz, Shaeri Richards, guitarists Kenny Cunningham and Bill McLane.

Tickets for the shows are $10 and may be purchased online at www.verdevalleytheatre.com or by calling the box office at 649-0626. They can also be purchased at the door.

VVT board member Kristine MacNeill is pleased to be directing this show, which is one of her favorites. Kristine�s previous theater group in Spearfish, S.D. performed the show to delighted audiences, and she expects the same reaction here in the Verde Valley. �This is a really fresh, funny look at the Christmas story, seen through the eyes of some rough-and-tumble kids who are encountering it for the first time. Their reactions remind us all what a truly remarkable story it is,� she said.

The fun begins when Mrs. Armstrong (Nancy Bauder), who always directs the Pageant for the local church, breaks her leg and lands in the hospital. Grace Bradley (Tammy Rehborg) gets roped into the job, and husband Bob (Tim Kuipers) reluctantly goes along. Meanwhile, their son Charlie (Devin Debowski) is consistently having his lunch desserts stolen by Leroy Herdman (Jule Johnson). Leroy and his 5 siblings (Sharon Rehborg, Faith Keller, J.C. Lawler, Kendra Colbert, and Koby Colbert) are, to say the least, a crude and obnoxious bunch -- one of the girls smokes cigars! When Charlie tells Leroy that he gets all the goodies he wants in Sunday School, the Herdmans suddenly develop an interest in attending, even though they�ve never even seen a Bible. To everyone�s horror, they also decide to participate in the Christmas pageant, and they intimidate the regulars (Britney Lawler, Shawna O�Leary, Kenny Gagliano, Paige Rivas, Jake McDaniel) into giving up their major roles. The rehearsa
ls get so out of hand that two firemen (Brian MacNeill, Al Jasinski) are called in at one point.

The church ladies (Ashly Lawler, Alyssa Majewski) are convinced that the pageant will be a disaster. Reverend Hopkins (Brian MacNeill) is looking for an excuse to cancel it. But Mrs. Bradley is fearless, and she declares that it�s going to be the BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER. And � to everyone�s utter amazement -- it is! The entire family will enjoy this hilarious, heartwarming show.
