Tools of the trade for the serious actor

Come see your hosts live and on stage!

Yup, both Darbi and Roz are in stage productions this week. Here's the skinny: Darbi's Show: Shoot the Messenger with Lizz Winstead

Shoot The Messenger is a satirical wrap-up of the week’s news from the brain of Daily Show Co-creator Lizz Winstead. A live sketch-comedy show incorporating multi-media elements, it gives us the world as seen through the filters of the fictional producers and on-air talent of The Flagship news show “Wake-up World"the worst twenty-four hour cable news network . There will be indictment, both hilarious and scathing - not only of the newsmakers, but of the news media that molds them. Shoot The Messenger will give the audience a glimpse into the behind the scenes decision making at a news network, and the process that brings those decisions to the air. Of course not everyone in the media gets a flogging; those who are doing great work will be celebrated. Each week Lizz’ll interview a media figure who digs deep and gets it right.

The writers, actors and producers of Shoot The Messenger come from Air America Radio and The Daily Show and represent some of the best political comics and writers working today.
