PORK FILLED PLAYERS PRESENT: RED, PORK AND BLUE: THE POLITICS OF THE OTHER WHITE MEAT
(Seattle, WA) Seattle’s longest running Asian American comedy sketch group, Pork Filled Players (PFP), is back at it again with Red, Pork and Blue: the Politics of the Other White Meat. PFP is armed to the snout with a collection of new sketches and ready to unleash them at Odd Duck Studio (1214 10th Ave, Seattle WA, betgween Union and Pike, near Seattle University) from May 7th to the 22nd.
This season PFP aims their satirical weapon of mass destruction at the presidential election, Kim Jong Il, civil disobedience, and more; leaving no federal deficits unfilled and no Afghani cave unsearched.
“These shows are about politics because there are aspects of this election that have been overlooked,” says executive producer Roger Tang, “given that everyone’s caught up in who was doing what in the 1960s and who has the most testosterone.”
Red, Pork and Blue plays at 8:00pm every Friday and Saturday. Tickets are: $12 general, $9 students/seniors, and $9 group. There is also a special fundraising program for student organization. More information and reservations can be made by emailing: oink@porkfilled.com or calling (206) 850-7882. Tickets can be purchased online at TicketWindowOnline (206/325-6500).
Making their debut with PFP this season is: Jia Doughman, Christian Ver, Kiki Yeung and Yvette Zaepfel. They join co-founder/executive producer/writer Roger Tang, producer/writer/actor Ed Tonai and director Margaret O’Malley.
PFP will also perform at the Ethnic Cultural Theater (April 30th, 3940 Brooklyn Ave. NE, Seattle, WA) and open for Tina Kim (May 1st, CARCO Theater: 1717 Maple Valley Hwy, Renton WA). People who attend the Repertory Actors Theatre’s Into the Woods will receive a $2 dollars off general admission with ticket stub.
Background:
The Pork Filled Players is Seattle’s close approximation of an Asian American comedy group, devoted to promoting the art of sketch comedy through thought provoking original material, making it accessible to diverse audiences. Using our own original madcap (though not necessarily zany) material, the Players aim pointed barbs at sacred cows, the bees knees, the cat’s meow and other non-porcine material. Using humor (hopefully funny) and song (hopefully on-key), PFP has their own take on modern life through their sketches. More information at http://www.porkfilled.com/.
