Serpentor's Cover Letter

Serpentor is preparing for when he is out of work after Shakesploitation Iambic Boogaloo closes. We were able to attain a copy of his cover letter and share it for your aggrandizement.

To Whom it May Concern:

I understand your immediate need for an Administrative Position and I can fill that because I have all the basic fucking needs you want. Give me the job and I'll fucking organize your shit in ways you'd never dream. I am that fucking magical.What? You require that I am fully trained in Bullshit? No problem! I am totally capable of writing bullshit for your company to make you look ever so sweet. ...

You will hurray this cover letter, or die.

This I command.

A Simple Ad

John Doyle visits the location of Shakesploitation II iambic Boogaloo in the city (941 Theatre) and takes a few moments to talk about the show at the Fringe. Little more than an ad...no real humor here. The Web cam does cause some confusion.....
Sorry about the color balance, I think941 may be the gateway to an alternate universe...... once Shakesploitation is there, I am sure it will be.
