the folks over at sketchworks, the sketch comedy troupe in decatur, are looking for your help. they are getting ready to make a pitch for a tv show and they need assistance rating some of their recorded skits.

they are hosting a free focus session tomorrow night at their theater in decatur, and if you are willing to spend about 90 minutes rating some pretty funny stuff from 1-5, they will give you a free ticket to a live show in the future.

i’ve reviewed sketchworks before, and i found it hillarious, so i think this will be fun if you are a fan of saturday night live style humor. plus, it’s free and you get a free ticket to a future show.

check it out if you can and bring friends….

As a red-blooded, card-carrying Alliance Theatre subscriber, I can tell you that this year’s season – coincidentally the Theatre’s 40th season – is going to be a real treat. Two August Wilson plays (Radio Golf and Gem of the Ocean), a gospel version of Jesus Christ Superstar featuring Atlanta choirs, a Second City created improv/sketch comedy piece and a live-action version of Andre Benjamin’s Class of 3000, the Alliance is bringing it to the arts community in Atlanta. And now, you can be a part of that by competing to become an Alliance Reviewer for the Alliance Theatre 2008-09 Season blog!

Simply submit a one-page essay on “Why Great Theatre Matters to Atlanta” and e-mail or snail mail it to the Alliance by Monday, June 16 for consideration. Five reviewers will be selected and notified by the end of June, and will get to attend not just all the Alliance and Hertz Stage shows, but also get free tickets for an additional showing!

Of course, I would’ve found out about this after I got my subscriber package, but if you’re a subscriber also, that doesn’t rule you out. Hurry up and submit!
