Sharpo Brings Dinner Theater To MWR



Sharp is best known in Los Angeles for an interactive dinner theater shows as their highly acclaimed murder mystery, a courtroom of their comedy, Dinner Court. They regularly play on their way from LA for this exciting brand of entertainment to service men and women based in California through the MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation). After several seasons at the club Mirage in El Centro Naval Air Facility, San Diego Naval Base and China Lake, Ralph Ramsey, who runs El Centro MWR, proposed changes to the traditional dinner show to meet repeat customers. He was first suggested by Neil Simon. "It was Neil Simon play," recalls Eric Sharp, producer / actor on Sharpo.com. "I had to remind Ralph that while we really wanted to continue to bring a dinner theater in El Centro, the ability to probe the full length play for a few weeks to make one performance was going to be a tough thing to look for the talent that he was busy performing regular shows. Also, many of our players are constantly auditioning and performing in TV and movies by adding a full rehearsal schedule your already busy life is not a very attractive proposition. "

Eric, who is known for its extraodordinary memory, suggests Woody Allen's "Play It Again Sam." He did play 20 years ago in Kobe in Lakewood, New Jersey. Asbury Park Press review said that Woody Allen could do better himself. Although he was 20 years because he did play, he knew the line would come back to him. In this way, he could train other members of the team and the "head start" on the production. Eric wife and partner in Sharp Inc., Nora will play the part of Linda, his love interest in the game. So they could practice whenever they get a free second, which was not very often, because their baby, Benjamin, is only 6 months at the time. actors all poured their hearts into the production, knowing the victims were very small in comparison with those made ​​by our service men and women.

He was right, he remembered his part well. Cast is rounded with Duffy Hudson as a dead on Bogart and brilliant comedy actress Kerri Schmidle. Duffy has made a real name for himself playing Edgar Allan Poe in his one-man show, "Shadow Of The Raven" and Kerri studied at the prestigious "second city".

The show, produced by special arrangement with Samuel French went up to 14 februar 2009 El Centro's club Mirage, and it was a hit. "The game is so well written. They may be non-stop for 90 minutes."

Since then, Sharp and the Company are made ​​to play the San Diego base, and next up is the China Lake. Of course, because he was so successful, Ralph in El Cento has asked for another 4 plays to be produced by Sharp next year, which means lots of rehearsals for a few gigs between 200 plus an interactive theater events they produce every year.
