'The Twilight Zone: Unscripted' The Risk in the Spur of the Moment
by M.R. Hunter
| |
Upping the ante of risk is Impro Theatre's troupe of improvisational performances ripping on a literary theme from the Bard himself to Jane Austen, Chekhov, Williams and now Rod Serling. This specialized group of actors thrives on risk as they perform without a script, without so much as an outline of what will happen when they come to the stage. It's a bit like walking tightrope without a net but I venture to say it's like walking a tightrope in a veil of fog. Risk? It's a risky business indeed as every performance is literally devised in the spur of the moment. And this risk is shared by its audience each and every performance as what Tom and Dick saw at The Falcon Theater on Saturday night is NOT the same show Jane and Suzy saw on Thursday.
Seeing Impro Theatre is a bit like going to a Nascar race. You want everyone to come out alive, but knowing what is at stake as the lights rise and the players stand unbeknownst to them what will actually occur in the next 90 minutes is a thrill within itself regardless of the quality produced. We are spectators demanding this troupe to afford us some continuity, characters, a plot line and a satisfying resolve with a recommendation shouted out from the seats. Do this! Explore that! And these actors jump in with only the knowledge of Serling in this case to guide them. That's frickin' awesome!

Most signs are socially active now by meeting new people and possible romantic interests. Spend time with those who are positive and upbeat as there is high degree of susceptibility that could impact our moods if we're not careful of the kind of company we keep. There is much potential in fortunate chance encounters, so be aware of who you meet and keep your business cards handy at all times. This is an excellent period of self-initiation and confidence for all signs. Avoid burning bridges or coming on too strong however as this could be irreparable much later...

Taking a Ride on the Wildside at the LA County Fair | |
It is truly impossible to see the gigantic LA County Fair in one visit. Plan ahead and take advantage of discounts - adult admission is $12 on weekdays and $15 on weekends. Walgreen's offers a season pass for $25. This year we found a Wednesday discount that included admission and a ride wristband for $25 offered by Del Taco ( full price would have been $62 ).
Some of the Eye Spy LA team braved several of these exhilerating stomach-churners and pretty much came back in one piece. Here are our favorites on the fairgrounds ordered from best to worst. Ride at your own risk...don't say we didn't warn ya!
