The
Academy Awards: an overhyped, overwrought, meaningless opportunity that
Hollywood and its army of celebrities take every year to remind you of how
telegenically gorgeous they are and how preternaturally beautiful they can look
when the world’s foremost designers and makeup artists spend hours making them
look good. Everyone gathers in a huge hall in LA to find out which studio’s PR
machine won that year as they read stiltedly from teleprompters. And they go to
big parties afterward where people ask them what they’re wearing.
Well,
this year, The Unified Scene Theater isn’t having any of that crap. That’s why,
a week prior to the Academy Awards, we’re hosting our own Faux-Cademy Awards
Show. And it’s a show where *you*, the audience, gets to decide who or what
gets nominated, who wins, who loses, and who walks away with the lifetime
achievement award. We’ll get suggestions from the audience — names of movies,
actors and actress -- and then perform "clips” from those movies featuring
those suggestions, improvising an entire Academy Awards broadcast right before
your very eyes: more fun, more laughter, more snark. It will be intentionally
disastrous as the Academy Awards are unintentionally disastrous — though much,
much shorter.
Show
starts at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7:15)
