The pictures you see are vid-caps from the video I shot for the play Baker & Huff directed by Don Hall and produced by Fred Mowery and featuring other WNEP favorites Dave Lykins and Jim Yeater as 1950's Catskills Comedians.
The play takes place at the moment where television killed the radio star as Al Baker and Doc Huff struggle with their own mortality living the sad live of comedians on that cicuit.
This is a pure collaboration between WNEP vets and I really like the result, It seemed written from someone who might have went through it this era, which I can confirm Jim and Dave did not.
It's directed by Don Hall, who also seems to have traveles back in time to book that Catskills show with prescient clarity of the time. Best of all Don had this killer idea which I had the great pleasure of making a reality. Don wanted people to be immersed in the era before the show began by having a half hour of footage from a 1950's Catskill show.
They loved the video so much they all chipped in and got me an iTunes gift certificate which I promptly spent getting multi-passes to The Colbert Report and The Daily Show on iTunes. It's good to FINALLY see the Colbert Report.
And finally you must see the show tonight or tomorrow night because STEVE GLUCK! will be playing the part of Dexter. There are no small parts Steve. Flaunt it!
I'll be there tonight, see you there.
