Mark your calendar!
You've heard him as The Reverend on Cartoon Network's "Squidbillies" and he's voiced hundreds of commercials. You've seen him on stage and screen.
Now the talented Scott Hilley needs your help. He's been recovering from a stroke he had last year and has been having additional medical issues. Well, the bills are mounting up. We'd like to give him a hand - more than mere applause. We need to help Scott regain his health and vibrancy.
Your generosity will allow him to do just that. Let's get Scott back on track, so he can continue to entertain us with Bugs, Yosemite Sam, and Porky, and make us all laugh our derrieres off.
And mark your calendar! Sunday, August 18 at 2pm we will have a Benefit at Sketchworks Theatre with a host of entertainers who are contributing their time and talents to help raise more funds for Scott's fund. Donations accepted at the door. Thanks!

Courtesy of our friend Herschel...
Sometimes we need a shot in the arm, a second wind, a fresh
approach. Sometimes, we just need to forge ahead.
Now and then we need encouragement from each other!
Here's hoping that whatever your goals are today,
they will be a success tomorrow!
I underlined, bolded and highlighted the words that
encouraged me today!

"It'll never last..."
"Someone with her background will never make a go of
this..."
"Are you kidding me?" "Pathetic!
Delusional!"
"Social media is a fad, the iPad is a toy, you're never
going to amount to anything..."
Here's the thing about proving skeptics wrong: They don't
care. They won't learn. They will
stay skeptics. The ones who said the airplane would never fly ignored the success
of the Wright Bros. and went on to become skeptical of something else. And when
they got onto an airplane, they didn't apologize to the engineers on their way
in.
I used to have a list, and I kept it in my head, the list of
people who rejected, who were skeptical, who stood in the way. What I
discovered was that this wasn't the point of the work, and my goal wasn't
actually to prove these folks wrong, it was
only to do the work that was worth doing. So long ago I stopped
keeping track. It's not about the skeptics. It's about the people who care
about, support and enable.
Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong,
it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers. They deserve
it, after all, and they're the ones that are going to spread the word for
you.

GENRES: THE FIRST FOUR - FAQs
WHAT IS GENRES?
A four-part webisode series that tells a story in four different ways, through the lens of four genres – comedy, drama, horror, and sci-fi.
WHAT ARE THE FILMS ABOUT?
At the center of each story, an encounter occurs between a man and a woman, where they engage with one another, and depending on the genre being shown, ends with the appropriate twist. PLOT
WHAT MAKES THE FILMS UNIQUE?
Telling a story in four different ways, while making each story original in terms of look, characters, and mood, make this project interesting. It is a challenge for the filmmakers, a true test of the actors, and ultimately, a reward for viewers who want a unique experience.
WHY SHOULD I WANT TO ACT IN THIS?
This project will challenge actors to flex their range, in essentially playing four different characters. A distinct identity exists for each story, and offers room for lots of creativity.
Thanks in advance,
