Answer: False. He kicked him in the ass and Hitchcock laughed. Then they had lunch. Pure Cinema at The Broadwater Black Box. June 8-27. Tickets at http://tinyurl.com/purecinemahff.
Combined Artform is excited to be a co-producer on this wonderful new show by David Neipris ‘Pure Cinema”
Featuring an absolutely bonanza cast of comedy and fringe veterans Bill Chott, Aaron Caponigro & Lindsay Seim
and directed by HFF legend Matt Ritchey.
"In 1977, Alfred Hitchcock, in the twilight of his career, meets with Mel Brooks to discuss a script that becomes High Anxiety. Loosely based on the lunches between two Hollywood legends, Pure Cinema explores their search for accountability, forgiveness, and tolerable hard boiled eggs."
We’ve got all the pieces, we just need you there.
Playing for 5 shows only at the Broadwater Blackbox
