Laughing Gas Presents "The Academy
Aweirds: Rockin' Hollywood" Feb. 25th and 26th
The Laughing
Gas Comedy Improv Theatre Company continues their
tradition of socially relevant comedy with a send up of the upcoming
Academy Awards in their shows Friday and Saturday (Feb.
25 & 26th) at 11pm at the Main Street Playhouse (6766 Main
Street, Miami Lakes). "The Academy Aweirds: Rockin' Hollywood"
promises to poke fun at celebrity culture, E!Entertainment
news, current films, Chris Rock, and this years' Hollywood
love-fest known as the Academy Awards.
Oscar's get in for free! If your name is Oscar, and you have proof,
you can watch the performance as our guest. So Oscars, it's your
night!
Audience members will also be allowed to submit their predictions
for the Academy Awards for a chance to win 2 free tickets
to a future Laughing Gas performance.
"We're continuing in our 13th season of humor at the expense
of popular culture," says Laughing Gas Director Gerald
Owens. "The Academy Awards makes a great target for us
to lampoon."
"Our audiences are interested in the celebrities," says
cast member Valerie Zach. "Lampooning them will give me a
chance to use more wigs and costumes than ever before."
"We would all want to be the ones being honored in Hollywood,"
says cast member Todd Rice. "But we're not, so we're going
to poke fun at the ones who are."
Over
the past several months, Laughing Gas has performed shows to "Improv
The Vote", lampooned pop-culture and helped with their
"Improv-ing The Community" campaign raising money
for charities. Laughing Gas has been picked as a Social
Miami "Pick of the Week" several times for
their themed shows and is regularly recognized for its socially
relevant material. Laughing Gas was also recently honored as Best
Short-Form Improv Troupe at the Improv Miami Prizes.
