From: flack@XXXXXXX Subject: inDecision Theater says goodbye... Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 22:48:35 -0400 To: inDecision Theater PR Department inDecision Theater is saying goodbye for the time being but will return before long transmogrified and titularly distinct (i.e. our name is changing, too). We'll send out another email from this address giving you a chance to subscribe to show announcements for the new group once that's set up. In the meantime, if you're wondering about the story behind this, now it can be told. From our earliest performances at the Forest Theater, the now-defunct Inside Scoop and Nightlight, we were serving two masters. One was our desire to be fresh, funny, and to have fun, the other was the Director the Homeland Security Dept. of Special Investigations & Navelgazing, known to us only as Special Agent Schnooky Patoot. The first mystery to which we were assigned revolved around the infamous Room 26 at the Pentagon: who keeps sticking their gum under the table? To our surprise the trail led to Agent Schnooky himself; we were soon reassigned to a new headquarters at Common Ground Theater. Our shows there were a great success and very few suspected that the audience questions during "We Know Everything, Just Ask Us" were actually communiques from the field expressed in a sophisticated code. (e.g. "Why is the sky blue?" actually meant, "The big kahuna dances with the screwdriver at midnight, and you have horseradish on your shirt.") Halflife, too, transmitted secret codes to our field liasons. Our original forms Couples Therapy and Eeeek! Bang!, however, were just plain fun. Our side work at Culture Crawl, Market Street Books and the Arts Center in Carrboro overlapped with our other investigations. (For instance, it was us in the airport bathroom stall next to Sen. Craig's, not Sgt. Karsnia as many news outlets reported in order to protect our identity. We almost blew our cover ourselves while arguing in the stall over who had the nicest feet.) But recently, our bosses at Homeland Security informed us that our feet and faces are now too well-known and that we are "as inconspicuous as Wool E. Bull shopping in Victoria's Secret". Our careers as special agents are over but along the way we've learned how much we like doing improv, and so we're going to keep doing it! And we hope that you'll continue to come see us. Thanks to all of you who came to our shows and double extra secret special agent thanks to those who helped out in other ways; you are too numerous to mention. See you soon! Bye for now, The Official inDecision Theater PR Flack on behalf of the group
