COURAGE
" 'Tis said that courage is common, but the immense esteem in which it is held proves it to be rare. Animal resistance, the instinct of the male animal when cornered, is no doubt common; but the pure article, courage with eyes, courage with conduct, self-possession at the cannon's mouth, cheerfulness in lonely adherence to the right, is the endowment of elevated characters."

The main actors: Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride are having riotous fun playing exaggerated narcissistic versions of themselves. You can just tell there must have been plenty of breaking each other up, and plenty of outtakes to laugh about later. .....more

CHARLOTTE SQUAWKS - NINESENSE     You have to do your funny bone a favor and go see this production! For the ninth year, Mike Collins and his cast of entertainers truly bring it! Charlotte Squawks - Ninesense is nothing short of a live roasting of the area's nonsensical, head-scratching, unbelievably stupid mishaps over the last year. The script does manage to poke major fun at a few national headlines and create parodies in their honor, such as, "The Congress Song" .....more
