Experience the S.S. Maximamoolah

Never has there been a cruise ship the size of the SS Maximamoolah.

Soooooo big, one camera can't capture it all!

No other vessel on the seven seas rival it in luxury or expanse. Boasting no less than

seventeen turbine engines designed by Elon Mush, it is the fastest boat of its size. Its
specially heated prow can melt ice for an Antarctic adventure, or hatch Condor eggs
without the help of a mother Condor. Now that makes for a hearty breakfast in any one
of the 32 eating establishments throughout the 44 decks. The dining in the main ball
room has been prepared especially for your journey by none other than James Beer
Award winner Mario Battalion.

Endangered Species Treats!

There isn’t just food aboard the Maximamoolah, but a new world of fun.
There are movie theaters plus IMAX on board. A cabaret, and a Broadway sized theatre
with three balconies. This summer’s entertainment includes the beautiful vocal shadings
of Tym Moss straight out of Manhattan.
But, performing arts aren’t the only fun you’ll have on board.
Gamble at the casino, or at the Jai Alai court on S, T, F and U decks. Have fun on the
water slide, or feed the exotic wild cats in the first floating animal park!

Oops! Look who's using the pool!

Come join the fun and sun on board the SS Maximamoolah! Sea-ing is Believing!

Ripped from the Floorboards…

Sci-Fi-Q Gets Lost in IRTE’s The Experiment
By Jeremy Binderhull

His body was found stiff and cold, burn marks around his face and neck. But this didn’t look like any electrocution Chet had ever seen, and he’d witnessed a lot of them during his six years onboard the USS Juno, first transwarp space vessel in the fleet. A hazard of the job, engineering on one of the most complex machines in the known galaxy. Electrocutions were as common as airlock drills. This was something different, something Chet couldn’t wrap his wrench around. One thing was certain, Captain Rosin was dead and something strange and terrifying was going on.

~ ~ ~

This scene is just one example of what you might witness when you attend one of IRTE’s performances of their sci-fi comedy thriller, The Experiment, at this year’s Asheville Fringe Arts Festival.

Performing for two nights during the 4-day festival, the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble mixes comedy improv and science fiction in their unique brand of improvisational theater. The troupe works without a script, crafting their character relationships and stories onstage before your very eyes.

Last year IRTE won the award for “Artists Whose Work Made Me Laugh The Most” for their improvisational birthday party extravaganza, Happy Birthday, Stupid Kid! Their production for the 2018 festival (the 16th annual Asheville Fringe Arts Festival!) is a decidedly different show. Thanks to their director writing up his impressions from some of the ensemble’s rehearsals (yes, they do rehearse for their unscripted shows), we have a few more glimpses into the possible worlds awaiting audience members who dare to submit themselves to "The Experiment"... Enjoy!

~ ~ ~

Is he gone yet? I don’t hear any footsteps. He must be gone.

"He"? Why do you keep saying “he”? You saw that thing same as I did. I don’t know what it is, but I don’t know if I can call it a “he” or anything else I’ve ever known.

Did you just hear a chicken?

~ ~ ~

She gazed deep into my eyes. I could smell her breath. She’d had some of Charlie’s four-alarm chili. That was when I knew she was still human, still one of us.

~ ~ ~

Strange going-on in the mountains of western North Carolina...

Kids gone missing up in the foothills outside of Waynesville, Asheville, and Fletcher. Reports of bizarre sounds and eerie lights. These are the things that keep residents ever watchful and neighbors banding together to solve a problem local authorities seem unable to. With the winter chill firmly taken hold in these small, mountain communities, folks aren’t taking any chances. People are taking things into their own hands, and it’s about to get messy.

SCI-FI-Q Gives Readers

An Inside Look at IRTE-TVs New Programming

New CEO at IRTE-TV Promises Bold New Programming

Jeremy Binderhull, Staff Writer for Sci-Fi-Q

Interviews IRTE-TV CEO Hollander Caul-de-Zak  

      

SFQ Staff file photo.

Science fiction fans respond to news from IRTE-TV with cautious anticipation.

He’s been an enigmatic presence in the regional television broadcasting industry ever since he breathed life back into dying but beloved local tv station, WXRV, thirteen short months ago, reconfiguring it as an analog/cyberspace crossover property for the digital age and renaming its flagship television brand, IRTE-TV.

Get ready to be surprised again, because Rochester’s own Rupert Murdoch is at it… again!

Hollander D. Caul-de-Zak, the brash and eccentric CEO of WXRV, and its most famous outlet, IRTE-TV, has taken a gamble with a bold new programming move. Sci-Fi Q’s award-winning blogger, Jeremy Binderhull, took a few moments the other day to sit down and stick a probe in old Hollander’s brain.

Here’s what we found out...

SFQ: (adjusting settings on recording device) Ah, let me just… Oh, we’re live - uh, we’re recording now, sir.

Caul-de-Zak: (coming at the blogger with a raised palm) I thought you told me you weren’t going to record this first part!

SFQ: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought we already finished the - I’m sorry. Here, I can turn it off.

Caul-de-Zak: Oh well! Never mind!

SFQ: What?

Caul-de-Zak: I said Go Ahead! Are you deaf?! (muttering to himself) Or just an idiot!

SFQ: What? Oh. Ok. No, sir. Ok, fine.

Hollander Caul-de-Zak sits silent, stern and stolid, not saying a word.

SFQ: Shall we continue, then? Let’s continue. Ah, I mean, where shall we begin…?

Caul-de-Zak: (twiddling his fingers as if brushing crumbs off his robe) Go ahead…

SFQ: I’m sitting here with relatively new CEO and Chief of Programming at Rochester’s own, and much beloved, WXRV, and their “offspring”, as it were… (coughs slightly) the crown jewel of Lake Ontario South Shore television programming, IRTE-TV. (covering mic and speaking directly to Mr. Caul-de-Zak) Did I say that right? Rhymes with “birdy-teevee”? (whispering) Ok, good. Thank you... Sorry.

SFQ: (clears throat) The buzz on the airwaves is you’re about to shake things up with local original and/or “renewed-retro” programming, specifically in the 5 to 9 p.m. time-slots, Monday through Wednesday, for those customers with satellite dish service or piggybacking off a strong signal from the Canada side of the lake, most likely in the Prince Edward area of the lowest southeastern portion of Ontario. That tends to give the strongest signals to us Rochesterians who like to add variety to our viewing choices… Sorry. Uh, people in the know say this is a gamble that is likely to pay off?

Caul-de-Zak: Well, I’ll tell you what, young man. I’ve been in the industry a long time for around these parts. I’ve learned a thing or two, and I know you can’t win big if you’re not willing to pony up and throw a heaping pile of chips onto the table every once in awhile.

SFQ: Yes, well people in the know are saying -

Caul-de-Zak: I know what people in the know are saying! I am People in the Know! Now let me tell you what we’re up to over here at XIRT-V - that’s what I call it, son. You can’t call it that.

SFQ: Ok, Mr. Caul-de-Zak. Of course, sir.

Caul-de-Zak: Now where was I? (twiddling his fingers again) Oh, yes. About six or seven months ago I was sitting around with my business partners, if you know what I mean, and we were discussing possible next moves for the early evening to prime time slot in our early to mid week extended programming service. And one of the guys was talking about his niece writing a story for a science fiction contest, and - oh, hell! You don’t need to know how the sausage is made! I came up with this great idea for after-school and dinner-time tv watching for our local families and extended programming tv viewers!

SFQ: Great! I’m sure our readers would love to know all about it.

Caul-de-Zak: Alright, well, it’s gonna be great!

SFQ: Great! Sir. I wonder if, perhaps, you might be able - uh, willing to share a bit more detail for our - and your - fans, sir.

Caul-de-Zak: Well, I don’t want to give too much away, but let me just say that we’re giving science fiction fans a whole new reason to tune in on weekday evenings. A whole new reason!

SFQ: Great!

Caul-de-Zak: Let me finish, son. Yes, it IS great! Now I know that nowadays young folks like their entertainment fast and cutting edge - “EXTREME!” I think they call it. People want to feel that what they’re watching is beyond real. Hell, even at the national level the lines between reality and made-up facts is getting blurred. So we’ve gone ahead a retooled many classic science fiction favorites and injected them with new life, literally! (directly to Sci-Fi Q blogger) Now this is where you ask me, “well how are you doing that?” Go ahead, now.

SFQ: Oh, now. That’s now? Ok...So, tell me sir, because I’m sure our readers are dying to know, how are you going to do that?

Caul-de-Zak: I’m glad you asked. We’ve hired a good, sturdy stable of the finest actors in the area - Regional Actors - and we’ve got them performing LIVE in front of a studio audience some of the great science fiction thrillers in motion picture history, and a few as yet unseen. And let me tell you, we’re real excited about this whole deal.

  

Regional Actors in Caul-de-Zak’s WXRV’s IRTE-TV “Experiment”

SFQ: I’ll bet you are! Oh, boy!

Caul-de-Zak: Settle down, kid!

SFQ: Sorry.

Caul-de-Zak: Anyway, as I was saying - and this bears repeating because this is major stuff happening here! We are going to broadcast a LIVE taping of a performance in front of a LIVE audience a series of sci-fi thrillers! Do you understand what I’m saying here?

SFQ: Yes, of course I do, sir!

Caul-de-Zak: This is cutting edge! This is “EXTREME”! Now print that! Or post it, or whatever it is you people do these days.

SFQ: That’s why I’m here, sir.

Caul-de-Zak: That’s why I’M here.

New Year, New IRTE

By Nannette Deasy

It's January 4th and as I sit here in a post-holiday daze, I can't help but wonder... Do my clown pants still fit?

This Saturday, IRTE will kick off the new year by remounting last season's improvised birthday party,

I'm very glamorous

Happy Birthday, Stupid Kid! for the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival in North Carolina (performances Jan 26 & 28). (Yes, I play a clown - an amateur children's party clown.). Before our rehearsal this weekend, I will need to make my way down to our building's storage and retrieve wigs, streamers, the various dime store goodies we use as props and, of course, one pair of abused clown pants. (You know it's been an indulgent New Year's when clown pants are snug.)

It's actually an exciting time for IRTE. The end of 2016 was a rough one for many of us, so we're looking forward to a 2017 full of laughter, artistic growth, music and good ol' indie theatre weirdness. In these uneasy times, all artistic voices matter, even the small and silly ones, especially the small and silly ones. Who we are and how we feel about ourselves, one another and the world around us is not solely inspired by the largest commercial stages and screens. We can be nourished one evening at a time, together in a small black box theater. There in the darkness, we connect and laugh and (hopefully) feel a bit better about everything for an hour or so.



With that in mind, Robert, Bill, Curt, Jamie and I got together, pitched about a billion (actually 35) ideas, voted, ate snacks, wrestled (mentally) and re-voted until we all agreed. (I kept pitching a show

When I googled "T-Rex" and "beauty pageant,"
the first image that came up was Donald Trump

called Toddlers and Tyrannosaurs about a child pageant show in which a T-Rex gets entered and then eats all the children. This is the third year I've pitched that show. It never gets chosen.)



Now, without further ado, I'm pleased to announce IRTE 2017! Mark your calendars! Blow your horns! Clap your hands! (unless you're a T-Rex)*

We are looking for diverse, experienced improvisational actors to join our roster of guest improvisers (GIRTEs). IRTE is a share-based company, meaning all show expenses (rehearsal space, performance venue, publicist, tech, postcards, posters, etc.) are split equally among the company (IRTE main ensemble and GIRTEs equally). In return, all ticket sales are also divided equally among the company after the run. For an audition slot or questions, please e-mail: irteinfo@gmail.com.⍏ GIRTEs and former Ensemble members from previous seasons need not audition, but should email their interest in being cast for future shows. For more information, please visit www.irteinfo.com.



⍏T-Rexes and beautiful child pageant stars need not apply. Apparently, some people do not find them amusing.

Help Us to Continue Bringing Good Cheer in the New Year!

Dear Friend,

We had a great season this past year, producing four different shows. Plus, we're doing our best to reach audiences outside of New York City, as well. In January, we're performing at the Asheville Fringe Festival. So, if you live in or near NC, now's your chance to check us out live and in person!

For the upcoming 2017 season, the IRTE elves have opened their workshop, and are hard at work making plans for four new improvised shows. They're hoping to bring entertainment and laughter to all, and give everyone some relief from the past year.

We can't do this without contributions from people like you who want to share terrific, zany, live comedy and who want to make sure it's affordable for everybody.

If you weren't able to take part in our 2016 Indiegogo fundraiser, and would like to see  small, independent theatre thrive, there is still time to make a tax deductible gift to IRTE in 2016 through our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas. To give a gift to IRTE during this charitable time of year, please go to the Fractured Atlas IRTE page and make a tax deductible donation on-line. If you prefer, you can also donate by check. Please send contributions to IRTE c/o Robert Baumgardner, 10 W 66 St, #19-H, New York, NY 10023. Checks should be made payable to Fractured Atlas, with IRTE in the memo line. IRTE is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of IRTE must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” and are tax‐deductible to the extent permitted by law. We greatly appreciate it.

We at IRTE would like to wish all of you a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year! We'd also like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support over the past five years. Our 2016 fundraising efforts helped us pay for over a third of our overall costs. Our biggest expense, by far, is rent on theatre and rehearsal spaces. This year we spent over $3,400 on that alone. Donations weren't the only way you supported us. We had a blast seeing so many of you in the audience for multiple shows in our season.
 
Happy Holidays from all of us at IRTE, and we look forward to seeing you for our exciting new 2017 season (announcement coming soon)!

The Two Davids, a Dueling Interview

David E. Johnston

Mr. David Jay

By Jamie Maloney

I had the rare opportunity to talk to both David Johnston AND Mr David Jay, long time IRTE collaborators, about their experiences with IRTE and the upcoming production Last Resort.

Jamie: How did you come to be involved with IRTE?

David Johnston: I worked with Brad Barton, who is an improv comic and friends with IRTE. He knew I was starting a band called “Gift of Tongues” and that IRTE was looking for musical guests for their shows.

Nannette Deasy "Jay" declined to comment
on this interview

Mr. David Jay: When Gift of Tongues bowed out, my ex girlfriend/wife Nannette asked me to come perform at the last minute

Jamie: How long have you been a GIRTE? In which IRTE productions have you appeared?

David Johnston: I have been a GIRTE for about 4 years. Gift of Tongues appeared in the 2013 season and in one show in 2014:

Interludes 2063, vIRTEgo Circus, and Space Probe. The 2014 show was The Scary

Mr. David Jay: Seems like forever. I started in the 2014 season with vIRTE Go-Go. In Magic Zoo I did an excerpt of my upcoming one-man show “Zoo-sical- Behind the Bars of the Human Zoo”. Then I headlined The League of Extraordinary Blondes .In 2015 I performed in every goddamn show of the season

Jamie: Do you have a favorite memory of your experiences with IRTE? What do you like most about performing in IRTE shows?

David Johnston: One of my favorite Gift of Tongues experiences was for Space Probe, when I wanted to do music that combined 70’s space funk with songs about clones. And I had Matt Dallow on theremin- which I think is one of the coolest instruments.

Mr David Jay: My favorite memory was at DIG!, when I made 4 audience feel like they had to leave the theater. I was just doing a simple monologue about suppositories and my mother’s French manicures. What’s the big deal?

Jamie: Do you have any interesting talents or abilities that people might be surprised to know about?

Mr David Jay: No. Everything you need to know is right on stage

David Johnston: For about 5 years I had a company called “The Bubble Roome” which made personal care products like soap and body butter and things like that. I started in my tiny Brooklyn kitchen and then was able to have someone else manufacture my recipes as the products got into over 100 stores.

Jamie: The current IRTE show, “Last Resort” is all about wish fulfillment. Do you have a secret wish you’d like to share with everyone?

David Johnston: Gift of Tongues doing a huge spectacle show at the BAM Opera House

Mr David Jay: My secret wish: to always have a follow-spot, and a fresh glass of Maker’s Mark on stage at all times

Jamie: So what will you be doing for the show this time around?

Mr David Jay: Breaking the rules, bridging gaps, and bringing people of different colors together under a rainbow of glitter.

Jamie: Do you have anything else happening that you’d like people to know about?

David Johnston: We’re working on a video for one of our songs from our last CD, which is called Dahmeresque. It will like a bloody valentine.

Mr David Jay: I’m currently very constipated.

Jamie: Thanks David and David, I’ll see you at showtime.

Meet GIRTE Extraordinaire, Evie Aronson

As with all IRTE productions, Happy Birthday, Stupid Kid! (opening May 13) features some pretty amazing guest performers. Evie Aronson (Snooty Wilcox) has been a long-time GIRTE (Guest-Of-IRTE, rhymes with "purty") and one of our all-time favorites!

IRTE Ensemble member Jamie Maloney, sat down with Evie after a recent rehearsal...


Jamie: So... how did you come to be involved with IRTE?

Evie: I know the founders and members of IRTE from back in the day when we studied and performed together at Gotham City Improv. I was delighted to be invited to perform with them as a "GIRTE."

Jamie: How long have you been a GIRTE? In which IRTE productions have you appeared?

Evie: I've been a GIRTE since 2013 and I have had the privilege of performing the shows in NYC as well as across the country in various festivals!...

Jamie: Do you have a favorite memory of your experiences with IRTE? What do you like most about performing in IRTE shows?

I love performing in  IRTE shows because they are character based and very theatrical.  We use wigs and props to add an extra element of theatricity (is that a word?).... The IRTE ensemble is very well trained and easy to work with - we have a lot of fun while at the same time being "serious" about the work.  They are also very good about the "business" side of show business.... everyone helps out with promoting the show and working to get an audience in the seats.

My favorite IRTE moments were when my character Charlene Nelson Reilly jumped off the cruise ship in Adrift chasing after something shiney in the water - and there was a long drowning scene using the prop of a blue sheet. 

Adrift (Evie Aronson and Nannette Deasy. Photo: Roberto Tobar)

My next favorite was at the Tampa Improv Festival when we were acting out one of the audience member's days.... and there was a fantastic Starbucks freak out started by you, Jamie   -it was so much fun!!! (If you want to see it, it starts around minute 44:00 here)

Jamie: Do you have any interesting talents or abilities that people might be surprised to know about?

The Magic Zoo, (Evie Aronson, Jeff O'Leary, Alena Acker and Marcia Sofley.

I love to wear wigs on stage it really helps me with a character. My interesting talents have been showcased in some IRTE shows such as in The Magic Zoo where I played Twitty the Bird and I played by piccolo.

I am also a licensed Zumba Instructor!   http://evelyn11.zumba.com/

Jamie: "Happy Birthday, Stupid Kid!” takes place during a child's 12th Birthday party. Has the rehearsal process brought back any cherished childhood memories (or traumatizing flashbacks?)

Evie: Working on HBSK has made me reminisce about lots of Birthdays past....it is funny what stays in your memory. One of my favorite birthday cakes was when I was 10 or 11 - a vanilla cake with white icing and blue and pink icing flowers, and it had a plastic ballerina in "attitude" stuck in the top  - she had silver toe shoes and I remember how weird it was that the leg that was sticking in the cake had a freakishly long foot/toe on it so that it could stick pretty deep into the top of the cake, but still look like the toe was resting on the top of the cake.  I probably still have her somewhere in a box of stuff.  

Zoltar (Photo Courtesy of  zoltarmachine.com)

My family spent our summers at a cottage in Upstate NY (Cayuga Lake) so the big birthday party for us and our "lake" friends was a trip to Roseland Amusement Park - my favorite ride was the Haunted House and I always had to get my fortune told by the gypsy in the machine similar to Zoltar in the movie "Big" - or maybe it was actually Zoltar...I'm old and can't remember.  After the amusement Park we would stop off at the local Firehouse or Church that was having a Chicken BBQ that night with Biscuits, coleslaw, corn on the cob.  That was the life.  These days my birthday consists of a shot of tequila and crying in the bathroom for about 30 minutes till my mascara is running down my face - maybe this year I will just focus on my memories of Birthdays at the Finger Lakes :)

Jamie: Do you have anything else happening that you’d like people to know about?

Evie: Look for me in stand up shows in the future around NYC.... ( I started on stage in stand up and then started in Improv around 2001).

My favorite project I've ever done was a parody short of Apocalypse Now - watch it (in 2 parts ) on YouTube:

A PUCKER LIPS NOW

Part 1 https://youtu.be/BmC6vRBIYKg

Part 2  https://youtu.be/3AzD_SrszWc

Thank you for the opportunity to share my GIRTE stories!!!! :)

Jamie: No, thank YOU!
