They're a wild, witty and hilarious group of comedy geniuses who who dare to view history from the sidelines, and ask history's most tantalizing questions: What secrets could Lucifer's girlfriend share? Or Joan of Arc's fight trainer? What embarrassing biological function on the part of God actually led to the creation of the universe? It's all part of the wonder that is History in the Faking, a comedy troupe that's become the toast of L.A. with three sold-out shows in April, May, and June 2004. Produced by Colleen O'Hare and directed by Brendan O'Meara, the show has become so successful that it now moves to a new venue, the Hudson Guild Theatre, as well as a two-night engagement for its latest production, "History in the Faking IV." The newest production of "History in the Faking" takes place on Friday, July 29, and Saturday, July 30 at 10:30 p.m. at the Hudson Guild Theatre (6539 Santa Monica Blvd.).
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2004 -- They're a wild, witty and hilarious group of minds who dare to ask history's most tantalizing questions. What secrets could Lucifer's girlfriend share? Or Joan of Arc's fight trainer? And what embarrassing biological function actually led to The Big Bang? It's all part of "History in the Faking," a comedy troupe whose shows have become the toast of L.A. with three successive sold-out shows in April, May, and June 2004. Produced by Colleen O'Hare and directed by Brendan O'Meara, the show has become so successful that it now moves to a new venue, the Hudson Guild Theatre, as well as a two-night engagement for its latest production, "History in the Faking IV." The newest production of "History in the Faking" takes place on Friday, July 29, and Saturday, July 30 at 10:30 p.m. at the Hudson Guild Theatre (6539 Santa Monica Blvd.).
"History in the Faking" is history from the sidelines -- an assortment of smart, funny sketches that imagine what history might have looked like in the eyes of random bystanders. Each month, its talented troupe of actors distorts a whole new series of great moments in history – both historical events and pop culture phenomena (like the guy who was there the day yoga became cool.)
The latest staging of "History in the Faking IV" stars Tony Award Winner Daisy Eagan, Patrick Cavanaugh of FOX network's "Meet the Marks," and Brian Frates, seen on HBO's "Sketchpad 2," along with Ryan Bailey, April Brown, Meryl Chambers, Dennis Gubbins, Suzy Henschel, Colleen O'Hare, and Brendan O'Meara. The troupe's roster also includes Kelly Stables (from the soon-to-be released The Ring 2 and The Princess Diaries II), Vivian Bang (of the Obie Award-winning production "Benton Kozo"), as well as Tommy Burkhardt, Adam DeVine, and Ian Gary.

Already a monthly LA mainstay, "History in the Faking" is a rich variety of hysterical, all-new material presented on a monthly basis. Each brand-new performance is written as a collaborative effort, with artists writing their own sketches and polishing them as a group. The show's monthly performances consistently sell out, so advance purchase is advised.
