INTERNET REALITY SHOW COMES TO COLDTOWNE THEATER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9th!
8pm Performance at ColdTowne Theater to Showcase Young Comedy Talent, Send ColdTowne Off To Phoenix Improv Festival
Pair to pursue entertainment careers on cross-country road trip; blogs and videos to chronicle their daily adventures; meeting with Jay Leno to round out week
[Detroit] – From Tuesday, May 8, through Monday, May 14, Eric Schackne and Filup Molina will travel cross-country inside a car they came to know intimately when they lived inside it for five days as part of the Livin' Large Campus Challenge last October.
Though Schackne and Molina ultimately lost the challenge to USC contestants, Dolce Wang and Anna Grigoryan, the pair consistently entertained with their wit, charisma and humor. With graduation looming, the pair will use the road trip as an opportunity to hone their comedic skills in comedy clubs and improv theaters along their route from Gainesville, Fla., to Los Angeles where they will close out the week with a performance at the renowned Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, Calif., where Jay Leno will be headlining.
On Wednesday, May 9th, the pair will arrive in Austin, Texas. They will spend the day taking improv workshops with award wining local comedy group, ColdTowne, and cap off their stay with a performance at 8pm at the ColdTowne Theater, 4803 Airport Blvd. Immediately following the performance, Schackne and Molina will depart for the Phoenix Improv Festival, where ColdTowne is one of this year's featured performers.
The pair's cross-country road trip will be chronicled on www.aveolivinlarge.com where users can follow the duo on their quest to make it big in the entertainment capital of the world – Hollywood, Calif.
"This is our chance to see how far we can go," Molina says. "This opportunity could be our swan song before we cave in and accept an entry level 9 to 5 desk job, or it could be the launch pad for a career doing what we've always wanted to do—entertain people."
At www.aveolivinlarge.com, visitors can track the duo along their route, view their daily videos and read their blogs. In addition, they can rate videos from Eric and Filup's latest comedic and musical performances and post comments with feedback on how the guys did. They can also share their suggestions for the pair as they head to their next destination.
