IRTE 2015: Say "hello" to Bill Berg!

It's a brand new year, bringing with it a brand new season of IRTE shows! We're proud to announce that one familiar face will officially be joining us! Say "hello" to our newest 2015 Ensemble Member, Bill Berg!

 

One of our all time favorite GIRTEs (Guest of IRTE), you might remember Bill as the 70s lothario Lupine Lou in last season's vIRTE Go-Go! or as Ken in The League of Extraordinary Blondes. We sat down with Bill for a chat.

So, Bill, tell us... What do you love most about IRTE?

What I love most about being a part of IRTE is that we all get together and come up with a bunch of different show ideas and then we vote on the ones we like best. Then we get to do them! That and the scotch at "the end" of our meetings and rehearsals. I love scotch!


Well, we know how to keep our IRTEs happy. Speaking of whom, what do you think of the cast this year?

I consider myself lucky to get to play and create and perform with such a talented, generous, and kooky group of people.

Kooky?

Kooky.


Okay, I'll admit we can be a bit "kooky." Assuming you haven't had too much scotch, any memorable moments from last season?

Blondes. All I can remember is blondes.

Figures.

Besides all those blondes, who are some of your favorite IRTE characters?

Only a narcissist would say that one of his favorite characters was one of his own.

Do go on...



Bill's always been a groovy dude... With Marcia Sofley in vIRTE Go-Go!

I am a narcissist. I LOVE Lupine Lou! Such fun. That guy in the wheelchair always makes me laugh, too. Bonnie Winters, of course.

Of course. :)

And who doesn't love a run-over bunny with a buzzard eating it's head? Am I right?!

(Laughs) Absolutely!








...and he can type, too, even without a typewriter! With Jamie Maloney in The League of Extraordinary Blondes

What are you most looking forward to this season?
The opportunity to meet James Carville. Rumor has it he'll be making a special appearance for our 'Late Night News' show. Shhh...don't tell Mary - we didn't invite her. Oh, and...'Calamity!'

Calamity! was your original idea, and I hear you're going to direct!  How exciting!!

Thanks, Bill, we're so happy to have you join the ranks!

Come see Bill and all the IRTEs in...
