The 5th Anniversary Show is Tonight!

Posted by LF5 Webmistress on August 29, 2008 under LF5

Dear Digit Devotees,

Can you believe it’s been five years since the Light-Fingered Five
started making comedy out of your ideas?

We have played on sidewalks, opened elementary school plays,
entertained country club Republicans, enacted the fall of Rome in
front of thousands, been undefeated in improv cage matches. We’ve
saved the world from tornadoes, earthquakes, and gigantic Spice Girls
using such common household objects as mangoes, eggbeaters, laundry
baskets, toilet plungers, and Michael Jackson. We’ve been Late for
Work due to wombats, falling anvils, and car bombs, and finally made
it in on Elvis’ pogo stick, Santa’s unicorn, and Abraham Lincoln’s
motorcycle. We’ve been cowboys, Indians, zombies, lobsters, zombie
cowboys, and Indian lobsters.

And you… YOU have supported us through the years. You have showed up
to watch, to laugh, to cheer us on, and to suggest we attempt mime an
owl shooting fire from its eyes. You are the source of our ideas, the
inspiration for our silliness, and the reason we keep stepping on the
stage with our minds blank and our ears open.

Please come join us to celebrate an unlikely anniversary–even if we
still don’t know what we’re doing.

On August 29th at 8:00 pm the Light-Fingered Five will celebrate their fifth anniversary together with a special show featuring favorite games of the past and the original players. We hope to see lots of old friends there, at the Shoebox Theatre on SE 10th Street between Lincoln and Grant. And let us know what you think of the show afterwards.

Welcome to the LF5 blog!
