P! is for Proctor
Have you ever wondered what a P! Company Sitcom would be like? Neither have I.
But now that you mention it- that would be pretty awesome. A 20 minute situational comedy- starring us, The P! Company. Oddly enough that’s sort of what our performance for Friday’s psuedo-variety show “Proctor” (8pm; ColdTowne Theater) will be like.
Well, not exactly. I mean- I suppose it is a sitcom so if you consider “Andy and myself being on stage” as a situation (situational) and you “laugh” (a response generally associated with comedy).
Maybe it’s closer to stand-up. But now that you mention it, stand-up comedy traditionally has one person on stage, and the P! Company usually has two or more on stage at any given time. What is it when two people are on stage- exchange… dialogue, so if dialogue is the essence of drama- that means maybe the show is like a play.
But traditional play structure observes the 4th wall (an imaginary divider that safely separates the audience and the action of the stage). P! Company usually talks directly to an audience. Maybe that’s like commercials.
Commercials directly sell an idea, product, or event to an audience member/potential customer, but then again our show doesn’t promote anything specific.
However, now that you mention it, this blog entry is a lot like a commercial. Go see “Proctor” Friday night, 8pm at ColdTowne Theater.
P.S. The P! Company’s official stance on comedy is that it is funny. We whole hardily promote the idea of laughter.
