Thrilling Adventure Hour
Encyclopedia
The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a staged production in the style of old time radio that is held monthly at the Coronet Theatre
. The show has been running since March 2005. It is live audio theater. Each episode features three non-serialized segments as well as songs and commercials from fictional sponsors.
The show is written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker and directed by Aaron Ginsburg. The show's original songs are written by Acker & Blacker with composer and band leader Andy Paley
.
Struck by the quality of the performances, Acker and Blacker decided to launch a stage show with a radio conceit, so that the performers had the luxury of holding scripts in their hands and minimal blocking. The conceit allowed for Acker and Blacker to not impose too greatly on their actor friends, while maintaining a regular deadline for generating material, honing their craft and work-shopping content in front of an audience.
The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour began a five year run at M Bar in Hollywood in March of 2005. The original WorkJuice Players were Dave (Gruber) Allen, Paget Brewster, Craig Cackowski, Mark Gagliardi, Marc Evan Jackson, Hal Lublin, Annie Savage and Paul F Tompkins.
In episode six, Eban Schletter performed live musical accompaniment. Schletter wrote the theme song to Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars.
In episode seven, the show was joined by Andy Paley. Acker & Blacker and Paley created musical content for the show. Paley arranged Schletter's Sparks Nevada theme and performed themes and songs with his Andy Paley Orchestra, which, at the time, consisted of Jillinda Palmer, Ben Jaffe and Brittney Westover.
In episode eight, the show was joined by Joel Spence, a Foley artist and actor. Soon thereafter, Aaron Ginsburg joined as director. Shortly after that, Samm Levine, Danny Strong and John DiMaggio joined the cast. Then James Urbaniak, John Ennis and Autumn Reeser.
The band Common Rotation
