The Big Bad Wolf Project, Part 1

Ewe will be scared!
This is a Mockumentary that me and my friends from Inspiration Theater did in 2001. It is loosely based on The Blair Witch Project and the plays that we did in our troupe, which were a twisted amalgamation of fairytales, fables and nursery rhymes. What was Inspiration Theater? Glad you asked. It was a 501c3 non-profit comedy troupe that performed comedy in hospitals and nursing homes. It was both an outlet for our creative energies and an outreach of cheer and love for some places that desperately needed a smile. Duke Children's Hospital was one of our favorite venues. Our actors were all volunteer, employed in various professions, that played with us as a form of community service. Inspiration Theater was magic. We had so much fun. We've long since gone our separate ways, so watching this again has been nostalgic for me.

Why did we do this, you may ask. The answer: I don't know. Because we felt like it. This was our crazy idea of fun. This project was perhaps prescient of Youtube, as it predated it, but is so appropriate for it.

No, we weren't really in film school. Leah and I play characters loosely based on ourselves.

In this first installment, meet Bo Peep and the Baker.

I expected the wolf was a metaphor for the government, who stole sheep like Texas steals kids, stole donuts to tax the baker, destroyed the pigs houses for lack of building permits or to build a road to no where etc.

OK what I was thinking... donut count was low maybe u had an open door and the Police checked the building, and eat a few? BUT you seen paw prints so that leaves the law out of this :) on to the next clip please :)~
