The Moving Targets interactive comedy shows
are a crossbreed of "Saturday Night Live" and "Whose Line
Is It Anyway?" Born two weeks following the 9/11 attacks, the group
developed a loyal following during the nine month run of their first
show "The News at 10" at the Bitter Truth Theatre, and the
holiday run of "Happy Chriskwansika; The Year in Revue" at the
Secret Rose Theatre, both in NoHo. They've also played to acclaim and
sold out houses at the Phoenix Improv Festival, the Chicago Improv
Festival, and the NoHo Arts Festival.
Their current show, “On Target” chronicles the
war in Iraq, the ongoing war on terror and other topical news like
cloning, corporate scandal and life in LA.
The talented cast of comedy veterans includes a
Buddhist, a Quadriplegic, and a Jewish Mexican. “Our diversity is our
strength,” said Deborah Sale Butler, the show’s Producing Director.
“We have a great ensemble of performer/writers with a variety of
viewpoints, and they always keep our sketches and improv fresh and
topical.”
