Kimberly and Tyler screening of 'Stage 4' at Theater 68

Since there hasn't been much posted on this one, I'll do a little recap (of what I remember) for everyone:

  • They filmed this in 4 days. It hasn't been submitted it for a film festival, rather they've been showing it around with hopes of it being picked up for a pilot. They mentioned they might do another one down the road. People suggested they should explore doing a web series, like something similar to what Eden Riegel is doing for 'Imaginary Bitches'.
  • Ronnie said that they had a tough time finding someone for Kimberly's part. Her character is a little ditzy and the person had to get the swear lines just right, but they ended up auditioning 100-200 women for the part. He said some of them didn't have to play ditsy, and some were in LA because someone told them they should go to LA because they were Suzy Homecoming queen. None of them were right, and then Tyler mentioned to Ronnie about Kimberly on GH. Kimberly then said "See, it IS all who you know in Hollywood!"
  • The clips on the theatre website are not the whole film. Ronnie asked whether it was funnier in its entirety or whether the clips out of context online were fine. The audience (and I) thought it was a much better experience to watch the whole film. While the clips they picked out were funny, it does become a better film when you see how its all put together.
  • Kimberly was asked whether she was involved in any directing or writing projects. She said that she is trying to write a television pilot and a feature film. She said she's writing comedy, but that it's really hard to get it just right.
  • Someone asked Tyler whether he would do more gay characters, and he starts joking about playing Marlon Brando's character saying "Stella....Stella" with a lisp. Then he joked about turning Nick gay on GH and pairing him up with other guys - Rikolas, Sonnyikolas, Nikanelli, Patrickolas....
  • They talked about doing theatre. They said that in NYC, people tend to do theatre because that what they love, whereas in LA it's more to be noticed for a tv/film role. They liked the instant feedback that the theatre gives compared to the delayed reaction from film/tv. Kimberly mentioned she'd never been in a theatre role, someone countered "But what about your role in Les Miz?" Kimberly said "I really don't consider that theatre, it's a musical" Ronnie and Tyler's expressions were priceless...she got teased a lot about that comment.
  • They both liked getting parts outside of GH, because it was a different role and it challenged them as actors...especially doing comedy.
  • Apparently Tyler's father did a lot of building/renovation of the theatre. When the Shubert Theatre closed down, their theatre was asked if they wanted anything. Tyler said "we got one aisle of seats, the carpet, and the crappers. We just ripped those suckers out. When people come here, they say it's like a mini-Shubert". Also, much of the renovations have come from GH fans, so they thanked everyone for making the theatre better every year.

From SoapZone
  • Tyler yelling "Stella, Stella" with a lisp.
  • Kim and Tyler putting names together wondering what they would be called if paired on the show - then it went to "other pairings"
  • Tyler said would we be Rikolas? Then he starting pairing himself with the guys:
  • Nikanelli (Nik/SPinelli) I think that's what he said - some can correct me.
  • The audience loved it and Tyler, Ronnie and Kimberly were hilarious. At one point Ronnie said they better stop before they embarrass themselves or get into trouble.
