Mendocino Stories and Music Series will feature Hit and Run Theater for their fall Comedy Weekend with improvised fun, games and stories. They will play at the Hill House of Mendocino on Friday and Saturday, October 19 & 20. The players are Jill Jahelka, Ken Krauss, Doug Nunn, Kathy O’Grady, Christine Samas, Dan Sullivan, and Steve Weingarten. Joshua Brody, “just maybe the greatest improv comedy keyboard accompanist”, will join the gang for this weekend. The shows will start at 7:30PM.
Kathy O’Grady has been a Hit and Runner since its first shows back in the late 1970s. A veteran of many Gloriana shows, Jill Jahelka is the postmaster in Fort Bragg, while Steve Weingarten diligently works ceramics and rock sculptures outside “Weinchester Cathedral”. Doug Nunn coaches the Mendocino High School Improv Club each winter and migrates in the summer to Germany to work with theatre groups. The delightful Christine Samas who has charmed Hit and Run fans for the past two years is joined by Dan Sullivan, an improviser since the sixth grade, and voiceover artist Ken Krauss, who has worked with the Mendocino Theatre Company as an actor/sound tech.
Special feature for this weekend’s engagement is another Song Improvisation Workshop for beginners … and the terrified!” led by Joshua Brody, music director for San Francisco's BATS Improv. The spring workshop was a great hit, with rave reviews. The workshop will be held Saturday afternoon at the Hill House from 1 – 4PM. Says Joshua, “Starting with the very basics — breathing, ear training, vocal production — students are led gradually and painlessly through all the elements that go into making a song, culminating in solos, duets, group numbers, even opera!” Joshua has been teaching song improvisation for over thirty years.
Doors open at 6:30 PM for dinner menu and drinks. Come early for best seating. Premier reserved seating at $20, $15 at the door. For more information about the shows and the workshop call Pattie at 937-1732 or www.mendocinostories.com/events.html
