SERIALS 2: THE THUNDERDOME Episode 1 – Who Survived?

KTC_S2 Cinderblock

CINDERBLOCK by Ben Dudley survived! Pictured are Dylan Shelton (standing) and Ben Dudley.

Om Monday, Feb. 2nd at Know Theatre of Cincinnati, SERIALS 2 started off with a SOLD OUT audience. Who knew a theatrical blood sport would be so popular?

Episode 1 kicked off with five strong showings. Participants with a bit of experience from the original SERIALS this summer, seemed to have an advantage.

And the survivors, as announced by from Know Theatre of Cincinnati:

Okay, everyone. The votes were close, but here are the official results from week one of the Thunderdome.

Continuing on to Week 2 are, in alphabetical order:

– ANDY’S HOUSE OF [BLANK]
– CINDERBLOCK
– PEGGY HART MINI MYSTERIES

Thanks to everyone who made it an awesome evening!

And don’t forget:

HIS MAJESTIES SATANIC REQUEST and HOW I LEARNED TO BLOG LIKE A CHAMP AFTER THE END OF THE WORLD may have been banished into the dystopian wasteland, but they’re not yet dead! There’s a chance that they could be resurrected by YOU the audience in week 5.

We hope to see everyone back on February 16 for round two, when there will be more beer, more laughs, and (maybe?) even more Mad Max references!

Not to brag or anything, but these were also the three I voted for. 🙂

Remember if you missed the first episodes, there will be recaps for the returning three shows before the new episodes “air.”

New competitors for week two include HAPPILY by Becca Howell and BARREL OF MONKEYS by Jon Kovach.

Based on the sell-out, I recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance at https://know.tixato.com/buy/serials-2-thunderdome-episode-2
