Hollywood Fringe - waiting for [gal] gadot by jake thomas

A writer and a director sit in an A-List movie star's office waiting room. And they wait. WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT explores the angst and existential absurdity of being a creative professional. Come ga...

Jake telling us to “get the fuck out” because #hollywoodfringefestival needs the theater was the perfect ending to the most entertaining 90 minutes of live theater you’ve likely to see anytime soon. 3 more performances, run don’t walk.

Gabriel Hardman@gabrielhardman.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Goodness gracious. The great Gabriel Hardman is recommending our show!!! Look, obviously I'm going to tell you the show is good, but I'm gonna LeVar Burton it for you and say don't have to take my word for it, listen to Gabriel Hardman!!!

Just saw @jakefromcomics.bsky.social’s play Waiting For [Gal] Godot as part of Hollywood Fringe. Really impressed. Funny, smart, profane — highly recommended. I go to a lot of Fringe shows every year and this is one of the best I’ve seen. www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372

Oh dang, just checked and tomorrow night's performance of WAITING FOR GAL GADOT is 100% SOLD OUT! That means if you haven't bought your tickets yet, only three more performances! Get 'em while the getting is good! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372

The people have spoken, and they love WAITING FOR GAL GADOT!!!! Four more chances to see it! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/133...

Reviews of WAITING FOR GAL GADOT: "Godot fans will love this one!" "What a GREAT piece! Brilliant, innovative writing" "A touch of hope, resilience, and belief" "Funny, thoughtful, and expertly executed!" "This show spoke to me, spoke to this moment in time, spoke human to human on so many levels."

My play opens TONIGHT, L.A.! Word is some tix are available, but act now! If you cannot make it tonight, you've got four other opportunities throughout June to see what some are calling The Theatrical Experience of Our Times (some is me, I'm calling it that). www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372

The great Michael Sinterniklaas emploring you to get your tickets to come see WAITING FOR GAL GADOT!

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Rupert "Ripper" Giles is legitimately one of my all-time favorite television characters and I think the real secret sauce to what made that show work. His ability to ground everything while never giving up the humor and heart was a cornerstone of the show. One of the all-time great not-dad TV dads.

Anthony Head, best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72

Tomorrow is OPENING NIGHT! If you're in L.A., please come see this wild, funny, and personal play I wrote and am acting in! If you're not in L.A., you've still got time to hop on that plane! Or at the very least tell your favorite Angelenos about it! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372

Did Jake Thomas get overly emotional and choked up talking about character deaths on this episode? YOU BET HE DID.

Nobody has died on Nic's watch...just yet! Get ready to join Nic Nino and Jake Thomas as they debate. Ellen Boener moderates. The next episode of #Superlatives drops TONIGHT at 12am PST: https://ow.ly/fSn650YOcvN #comics #podcast #comicpodcast #spiderman #comicbookfans

It's looking pretty likely my son isn't going to have school starting next Tuesday because a bunch of LA school workers are teaming up to do a strike for much-needed pay raises and support. For no reason at all, I'm also including these two images in this post.

A clip from the LAUSD website noting that the 2023-24 budget for the LAUSD, the second-largest public school district in the country, was $18.8 billion.

A clip from the LA Times noting Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Executive and renowned dipshit David Zaslav could receive $887 million in severance for his excellent leadership in coming in, wrecking shit, then selling it off.

You're talking about "mantasy," some ridiculous sales nonsense ginned up to make men feel safe to enjoy things. I'm talking about MANT!, the fake film in Joe Dante's delightful MATINEE. We are not the same. youtu.be/7-brLyrdTyA?...

Dan Immergluck@danimmergluck.bsky.social · 4mo ago

This poem is pretty much where my brain's been at the last couple of days.

Brutal.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.
