Dottore Who
'Dottore Who & the Three Locks of Time' - April 18, 2009

Saturday, April 18, 2009 · Notacon 6 · Wyndham Cleveland at Playhouse Square

In Fall 2008, The Confused Greenies decided to embark upon the creation of a silly sci-fi farce parodying such cult classics as Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly and whatever else could not run away fast enough (and even some that could!) for performances at CWRU. The rest, as they say, is history. Or future history. Or alternative history? Time travel is so confusing!

A performance about science-fiction and fantastic technology and the building of a full-scale Dalek encouraged a preview performance at Notacon 6, Cleveland's creativity, community, and technology conference. Because of this, the performance was made to include an interactive slideshow presentation (inspired by Dottore Gratiano's Secret to Cartoon Physics) on the "Secret to Sci-Fi Physics" and video parody of Cloverfield (inspired by an actual blooper during the filming of campaign commercials for Doging the Debates) to create a combined live stage performance and audio-visual production!

Dottore Who has received a warning from his future self that the fate of the Multiverse is in peril! And somehow only Dottore's companion, the hapless harlequin Arlecchino can save it! Can Dottore find the Three Locks of Time to fulfill Arlecchino's destiny? Will Starship Capitano James T. Testosteroné thwart him just to prove he's the only protector this Multiverse needs? Will the Imperial Zanni-Troopers of the Galactic Generic Overlordly Persons ever actually hit a target? And can companion Colombina keep her dearest love Flavio from his sudden but inevitable death as a Red-Shirt? Only the Patchwork of Time & Space & Foolery will tell!
