This is my 5th year going to the Alex Theatre's Stooge Fest. It was indeed another Grand Slam.
3D Glasses handed out at the door to watch a 3D version of Spooks, a beautifully printed program
guide, and an audience with members ages ranging from about 3yrs (seriously) to, well..., lets just
say 'Seasoned'. In addition key members of the Stooges Family were there ( Joan, etc..).
Each year, the Alex adds a special feature, and this year did not disappoint. Somebody took the
time to string together 4 appearances that Moe did on the Mike Douglas show in 1973. These were
priceless to see again. Thank you Alex staff!!!
Let me just say that the Alex really does the stooges up right. Everything from the callout to
determine if guys or girls can voice a louder 'Soitenly', to the howls of a full house when Curly
tells Moe "....You're missing one of the biggest things of your life" regarding 'Minnie' in False Alarms.
I must echo the earlier posting here to encourage all in the LA/Orange/Riverside/San Bernadino
county areas to make the effort to attend the annual Stoogefest and support the Alex every
Saturday after Thanksgiving. And no, I'm not a shill or employee for the Alex, just a 'Regular Guy'
who loves Howard, Fine, Howard, Howard, Besser, & De Rita.
Hope to post again in 2010 re. the Alex Stoogefest.
