Teatro Idiota began, basically, as an excuse for people I like to get together and watch hilarious movies and have refreshments. Once a month I host an evening of watching clown movies and movies derived from clown, anything from Chaplin or Keaton to Laurel and Hardy or the Marx Brothers to Looney Tunes to Steve Martin to Will Ferrell. Essentially, anything clown related from the past or present is fair game. I'll have a brief introduction on the background and how it relates to the art of clown, and then afterwards we can have wine and cheese and snacks and a lovely discussion about the movies.
The evenings will be the last Thursday of the month, except this month, which due to a scheduling conflict will be on a Wednesday. If you can't make it to this one, we'll keep you updated on future ones. Here's the skivvy, er skinny, on the March date:
Where: Schkapf Theatre, Hollywood, CA
When: Thursday, April 24, 7:30 pm until not too late, since it is a school night
Admission: 1 bottle of cheap wine (less than $10) or a cheese of some kind. We will all share and have wine and cheese. I'll also provide popcorn and fruit during the movie.
Program: The Warner Bros. short "I Love to Singa" with Steve Martin: The Television Stuff. Steve Martin's work on television in the 70's is some of the greatest clown work you can watch. This evening will curate some hilarious shorts and sketches from Martin's work on his own specials, SNL, and a host of variety shows, some of which hasn't really been seen in 30 years.
