Play Synopsis From Over Our Head Players

Theatre/Schmeatre is a multi-media evening of short, unrelated original comedies written by Over Our Head Players. In the tradition of Second City, OOHPs’ sketches promise lots of silliness and satire. Some sketches will definitely be topical, with a few local references, as well. Although sketch comedy by definition uses a minimum of technical elements, the theatre will be filled with laughs and surprises. Sketch comedy differs from improv because it is scripted, but it is also very spontaneous. No two performances of Theatre/Schmeatre will be the same.

Every show will also feature live performances by some of the area’s finest musicians. Over Our Head Players is known for its commitment to original comedy, and the popularity of the Snowdance Festival between-show hijinks suggests that Theatre/Schmeatre will again be a very hot ticket.

Scheduled acts include Acoustic Soul on September 14; Brent Mitchell, September 15; Saturday Night Preachers, September 21; Jay Mollerskov and Friends, September 22; Zachary Scot Johnson, September 27 and September 28; and TRIAD on September 29.

The Theatre/Schmeatre acting ensemble features Kristin Althoff, Michael Becker, Brandy Harrell, Michael Retzlaff, Ron Schulz, Jim Selovich, Robbie Shaw, Rich Smith, Teri Stanley, Joe Van Hulle, and Melissa Zeien.

The production staff also includes John Adams, Amy Ball, Elizabeth Bitner, Skip Carlson, Sea Daniel, Preston Hill, Parker Jones, Carol Horton, Diane Carlson, Nicholas Hoyt, Kevin Hlavka, and Janine Anderson.

Reservations are available through the box office, (262)632-6802, or online at www.overourheadplayers.org. Performances are at the Sixth Street Theatre, 318 Sixth Street, Racine. Advance reservations are recommended. If this were a movie, it may carry an “R” rating for language and adult situations.
