Hoping such a sketch show will become at least an annual “thing” as Riverwalk develops “extras” to go along with its SEASON shows, recently announced. (Did you see the fun season-reveal video?) https://www.facebook.com/riverwalktheatre/videos/517299618003153 The list will be posted on RWT website soon. (And the GLUT Calendar, soon….)
Lanstronauts is NOT the same as the Bare Bones Improv group that meets every Tuesday at Riverwak 7-9pm year ‘round — anyone can join, no auditions required, meeting every Tuesday from 7–9pm at Riverwalk, year-round. First session is free; after that Riverwalk membership required (minimum $15 per year.) As you may know, they had a sold-out hit show in April, performed by folks auditioning within the group — and there will be more to come. https://www.facebook.com/BareBonesLansing
At the Lanstronauts show, I enjoyed an elegant plastic sippy-cup of wine. RWT members have recently voted to begin the process of getting a “club” type liquor license so members can buy beer, wine, and whatever those canned cocktails are, for themselves and guests.
They also have a wider assortment of SNACKS and now food/drink CAN be brought into the theatre thanks to the Extra Cleaning Power of super Adam Carlson, not only one of the Stars of the Lanstronauts show, but also our devoted custodian at Riverwalk. Yet another reason to become a member https://www.riverwalktheatre.com/membership.html (Note, probably no “bar” at the upcoming Sponge Bob family show opening May 29. Note that ALL the Sponge evening shows are at 7pm, not just the Thursdays.
Speaking of membership:
Riverwalk Membership Meeting: Saturday, June 14 beginning at 10:00am in the Black Box
….and I am VERY sorry to report that the Annual Barney Awards has been scheduled for Friday, June 20. Reception at 6:00pm, awards beginning at 7:00. Sorry BECAUSE I can’t attend these Barneys for the first time in ??? years (maybe since 1972?) because that is also opening night of Pride and Prejudice for Alive Theatre at Alfreda Schmidt Southside Community Center where I’ll be performing with my talented daughter and granddaughter. https://www.facebook.com/TheAliveTheatre
