SHPIDER!
A B-Movie Creature Feature LIVE on Stage!
|
|
When a group of Executives for the shlocky science fiction channel “SyFi” try to find their next (cheap) hit movie, they decide to fire the actors and writers and do things on their own! The result is SHPIDER! A classic-style monster film about a shark equipped with lasers who is bitten by a radioactive spider and turns into a mutated abomination! Follow scientist Brody Marcus, Aqualogist Sadie O’Kist, General Hy Steria, and low-paid rideshare driver Branson Hanscomb as they battle transmogrified terrors, undead fiends, and 405 traffic! (Brought to you by Metabolyte Mint Chocolate Metabolic Breakfast Drink.)
Matt Ritchey once again teams up with the mighty Force of Nature after their LA Valley Theatre Award-nominated show ROMEO AND JULIET IN HELL (2019 - nominated Best Director, Best Ensemble, Best Sound Design, Best Stage Manager) to write and direct the over-the-top comedy. “There’s a serious message in the play,” says Ritchey. “I just… haven’t found it yet … I know I put it somewhere….”
Also, stick around after intermission for THE SYFI NETWORK FOCUS GROUP –
An interactive experience consisting of a collection of short plays, ahem, live-action trailers and movie pitches by Force of Nature writers that continue the SyFi Channel’s devotion to horrible film ideas!
Come experience the World Premiere of SHPIDER!
