Holy 1960s Batman, Batman! Opens This Weekend!
Posted: May 3rd, 2011, 2:07 pm
Starting this Saturday at 8pm at the Hideout Theatre and continuing through the end of June is Holy 1960s Batman, Batman!
The Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder are taking over the Hideout Theatre stage, Saturdays in May and June, for fully improvised episodes of the gloriously campy 1960s Batman television program.
Listen up, ol’ chum! This is not your typical improv show, so look out! Expect clever and cunning costumes (we’re talkin’ full-out spandex and tights!), spectacular sounds and stunts, fist-flying fights, gullible Gothamites, heinous henchmen, vile villains, mystifying molls, and a certain delightfully daring dynamic duo!
Deano Jones and Kaci Beeler star as Batman and Robin, in homage to the work of Adam West and Burt Ward. They are joined by an all-star ensemble cast and a new guest improviser (who will play the episode’s villain, a character chosen by YOU, the audience) every week. Round that out with a team of terrific technical improvisers ready to WHAM! BIFF! and POW! with lights, sound effects, and musical scoring – and you have an enlightening and invigorating evening of entertainment worth leaving your Batcave for!
