One Hundred Forty-One Sketches Left

Last night, John Hildreth and Chris Othic, with casts in tow, knocked out weeks 29 through 32 leaving us with 20 more weeks to go.

One of my favorite scenes out of all of the 365 Sketches was onstage last night. It involved an actual conversation Joe and I had (I was being the wounded girl in the scene and wondered why I introduced him as my "best friend" and he introduced me as his "friend.") and it underscored for me what many people involved in this project can attest to - truth in comedy. I'm certainly not the only person who recognizes moments of "ME" in Joe's world and it's a strangely gratifying thing - like being Arthur Miller's girlfriend or something.

Further, as we continue on, the constant standing room only crowds of actors and directors coming out to see other sets has given the whole thing a sense of - dare I say it - "community" which makes the whole thing just a bit more worthwhile.

Come on out and check out a few of the last 141 days of Joe's year. You won't be sorry.

Sold Out on a Tuesday??

We're Officially Halfway Through Joe's Year

And This Train Keeps Rolling!

The 365 Sketch Crazy Tribal Constant Gathering in Celebration of the Mind of Joe Janes continues with an energy that even I, the Self Appointed Energy King, am left astonished.

As the buzz behind the quality of the work grows, the houses continue to become SRO - if you don't have tickets for this weekend, you need to get them very soon or risk being turned away. We have had oversold houses for Sunday night and Monday night - both tonight and Wednesday are near sold out and I have a feeling that the weekend is going to be ridiculous.

Each director and their casts have been really bringing their A games and the level of talent and creativity is fucking awesome.

Three through Five of Twenty-Six

Last night, we cranked out weeks 5 - 10 in three genuinely hysterical sets.

In the case of the midnight show, it's pretty damn cool to know that Joe Janes is simply a fucking funny guy - his humor cracks up the college crowd just like it cracks up old farts like me.

Tomorrow night we knock out weeks 11-16. Seriously - don't miss out. AND Mr. Janes will be in the house.

Nearly One Month of Sketches Set the Bar High

Last night we knocked out the first two sets - 8PM – Weeks 1 & 2 “Dancing with the Devil” (director – Mary Jo Bolduc) and 10PM – Weeks 3 & 4 “Diversity Chicken” (director – Jason Fleece) - and they were hysterical! Both directors and casts kicked off our mini-festival of warped thoughts from the mind of Janes with a bang.

Joe couldn't be there so we SKYPED him in:

He watched from the cabaret table right in front of the actors. It was surreal as he watched via the internet and texted me during the show. Ah - modern technology!

Three more shows tonight!
