TRON glorified in San Francisco Stage Comedy.

on Friday, August, 11, 2006 5:02 PM
"Release the Kraken" opened last night in San Francisco.
It is original comedy which combines elements from "Clash of the Titans" with "Clerks"

Truth is, I'm one of the co-authors and director.
The "Clerks"-like fan-boy banter that the two main characters spout out is peppered greatly with Tron references.

When confronted by a Two-headed Scientologist (modern-day representation of Dioskilos, the two-headed dog), Percy (a.k.a. Perseus) uses one of the golden gifts he'd received from the Gods; an 'original TRON Frisbee.' A special spot-light is lit on Percy; he holds the disc aloft in the classic Tron I/O tower pose and exclaims; "I'll never be deressed into the master control program!" He then throws the disc, which the two-headed Scientologist "dog" excitedly runs after...

Percy's side-kick tells him that he just threw away the best collector's item he had ever owned. He replies that; "Yeah, well, at some point you realize there are bigger things than material possessions…"

I took a cue from this, and last night on opening night, I opened, and gave away to the cast my complete set of TRON trading cards as gifts.

The show runs for another 12 performances until August 26th.

It's been getting great press, including "don't miss" from the San Francisco Chronicle Newspaper:

To top it off; there's going to be a midnight showing of "TRON" on the big screen at the Castro Theatre on Saturday the 19th. So, if you're a Tron fan, and anywhere near San Francisco, come check out "Release the Kraken" and/or the full screen showing of "Tron" at the beautiful Castro Theatre.

I wish that showing wasn't on the 19th. I'll be at Bats Day in Anaheim promoting the comic. where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Sound great. Maybe we can get you to videotape the Tron part of it and put it on youtube? San Fran is a bit too far way for me to come see it in person, otherwise I probably would.

I'm coming up on the 19th. I'm talking to the theatre about bringing some stuff up for display too.

*Laughs* That sounds wonderful. I've never watched either of those movies and I usually don't like that sort of humor, but your play sounds pretty interesting just from that short bit. Good luck and all that!

I like the idea of recording the Tron part and posting it on youtube. *Pokes repeatedly* Do it? Do it? Pleeeeease?

Thanks for the responses about the play... our videographer will be taping it this coming weekend. After it is over I'll see what I can do about a uTube post...

David; a group of actors from the play may/should be attending the screening at the Castro Theatre. Perhaps I'll have the chance to say hello. Whether the actors in "Release the Kraken" had been fans of "TRON" or not, I turned them into fans, having required they all borrow my DVD one by one.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Let's definitely make plans to say hello while I am there.

It's probably for the best. We cannot dismiss the concept that us both occupying the same room at the same time will not cause the multiverse to collapse.

I'm just saying it's possible, is all.

I hope this doesn't degenerate into a discussion about y'alls Black Holes.

Ahh good old Vincent

Remember DaveTRron there are three basic types
the wills, the wont's, and the caint's.

The wills accomplish everything

The wont's oppose everything

and the caint's wont try anything.

LOL : )

This town is full of live ones!!

David,

Not sure if, or how many, of our actors will be attending Saturday night, but at the very least; me, my wife, and our composer, Christine.
Will stop by your display (will you have one?) to say hello... Yes, the name is Bryce, so you'll know me when I introduce myself.

I hate to say this, but due to a trip to Toronto on Monday I have to cancel my plan to come up to SFO. I just can't afford to do both right now.

I am very sorry I won't get to meet you.

Do us all a favor though and take lots of pics, especially of the front of the theatre.
