Like MST3K, the show was created by JOEL HODGSON and features the same team that first brought the Peabody award winning cult-classic series to life: TRACE BEAULIEU (Crow, Dr. Forrester), J. ELVIS WEINSTEIN (Tom Servo, Dr. Erhardt), FRANK CONNIFF (TV&#39;s Frank), and MARY JO PEHL (Pearl Forrester).&lt;br /&gt;That is what Joel Hodgson says about the show:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Cinematic Titanic Live is the theatrical version of movie riffing-- the comedic art form we created over twenty years ago in the form of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Performed in a theater, the five members of the cast take the stage and riff on a feature film in front of a live audience.&lt;br /&gt;Most of our engagements last the weekend, where we perform a different film on both Friday and Saturday nights, hence, our current tour is titled &quot;Two Nights Two Movies&quot;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.philly.com/philly/maps/Trocadero_Theatre.html&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; &quot; class=&quot;smalltitle&quot;&gt;Trocadero Theatre&lt;/a&gt;  1003 Arch St.&lt;br /&gt;Philadelphia , PA 19107 215-922-5483&lt;br /&gt;June 12, June 13• 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;Tags: &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Cinematic+Titanic&quot;&gt;Cinematic Titanic&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/MST3K&quot;&gt;MST3K&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Trocadero+Theatre&quot;&gt;Trocadero Theatre&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3003454471783006890/posts/default/4264190974832592918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3003454471783006890/posts/default/4264190974832592918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thephoenixinphilly.blogspot.com/2009/06/cinematic-titanic-live-in-philadelphia.html' title='Cinematic Titanic Live in Philadelphia - TrocaderoTheatre June 12-June 13'/><author><name>Alena</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14032614632270671634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBFVCMuVl-yxf0juI6mIqGNqHiBDKOkdaXAf8iiM_7TrWhBKksuElPDABnddfzPCR74VPtV3Lqn1H6poXTiTikRGT1a5sbIDJeTlDTRhoflyDFlPutZYC76kdVJS7EYQ/s220/portr.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003454471783006890.post-5119843521881200243</id><published>2009-06-09T20:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-13T16:16:30.361-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Culture"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Entertainment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Music"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Walnut Theater"/><title type='text'>The Producers in Walnut Theater through July 19th</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration:underline&quot;&gt;The Walnut Street Theatre&lt;/span&gt; concludes its landmark 200th anniversary season with an all-new production of Mel Brooks’ Tony-Award &lt;img height=&quot;210&quot; width=&quot;308&quot; style=&quot;margin: 5px; float: right&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://images.broadwayworld.com/upload2/54269/dibbleandco.jpg&quot; /&gt;winning masterpiece, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Producers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.  Directed by Marc Robin and featuring some of the best talent from Philadelphia and abroad, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Producers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; starts May 12, opens May 20 and runs through July 19 on the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration:underline&quot;&gt;Walnut Mainstage&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Producer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; tells the story of a failed, scheming Broadway producer who teams up with an accountant to scam his investors.

As you walk through the world of these beautiful creatures, knowledgeable Academy staff will be on hand to answer all your questions.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, “Butterflies!” features: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;computer stations with interactive games about butterfly habitats, body parts, responses to global warming and general trivia&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;a chamber of live pupae from which you may see butterflies emerging (if you&#39;re there at the right time!)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;a live animal kiosk comparing different kinds of metamorphosis in insects and frogs.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;The tropical garden in &lt;em&gt;Butterflies!&lt;/em&gt; is a pretty big place.  There are many places to look for butterflies:   &lt;ul&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Some will be flying. (These are often the easiest to spot.) &lt;/li&gt;         &lt;li&gt;Some will be eating at food stations. (These are good places to get close to the butterflies.) &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Some will be resting on plants. (Butterflies usually rest with their wings pointing up so you&#39;ll be looking at the undersides of the wings. This side of the wing is often less colorful and may even be camouflaged.) &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Some will be resting on the walls or the ceiling.&lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Watch out! Some will be resting on the floor. Watch your step! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;There will be a $2 fee to enter “Butterflies!” in addition to museum admission. Members enter free.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3003454471783006890/posts/default/9160248869357356406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3003454471783006890/posts/default/9160248869357356406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thephoenixinphilly.blogspot.com/2009/06/natural-history-museum-philadelphia_13.html' title='Natural History Museum Philadelphia - Butterflies exhibit'/><author><name>Alena</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14032614632270671634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBFVCMuVl-yxf0juI6mIqGNqHiBDKOkdaXAf8iiM_7TrWhBKksuElPDABnddfzPCR74VPtV3Lqn1H6poXTiTikRGT1a5sbIDJeTlDTRhoflyDFlPutZYC76kdVJS7EYQ/s220/portr.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh_MEZ49_N1QIzabN8Mt40_mOcaunKBsD9PQD_tqUoYrok25SVUnZb-_UOSlNzNWo8VL0KI-n3KfDQThgv8GyOUXnp8T9SPrrQIrU9ka3Q5BJi49llJbh7Lua0QNbm9MNSKP6eSPQMlQA/s72-c?imgmax=800" height="72" width="72"/></entry></feed>
