WTF?! Festival

Looking back at week one. It was a wild start to the WTF?! Festival. The line up is huge. If you haven't heard what were doing click the links to the right to peep the schedule. We'll be releasing photos daily through Twitter @theActorsGang. Keep your eyes open for special announcements.








The format is this: Free documentaries on Tuesday nights, comedy film screenings, and we just finished two theater pieces; "The Need to Know" and "Death and Giggles." Coming up ahead there will be literature nights, dance troups, and a Jonny Cash tribute comedy cooking show. Each week ends big with an amazing line up of music theough December including Serj Tankian, Jenny Lewis, Ben Gibbard, Tom Morello, and John Doe. But that's getting ahead of ourselves. Take a look at some photos from the first week.










Ahhhhh, The D. Did you know that Jack and Kyle first met at the Actors' Gang? They gave back in a huge way by capping off week one of the WTF?! Festival.










Free screening of documentary "Sir, No Sir!" Filmmakers and veterans were in attendance for questions and a discussion about the film. From Left to right: April Fitzsimmons, Tim Robbins, David Zeiger (Filmmaker "Sir, No Sir") , Michael Prysner (Iraq Veteran's Against the War), and Fabain (Navy Veteran).









Sarah Silverman might be the funniest woman alive. We screened her movie "Jesus Is Magic." Along with filmmaker Liam Lynch she took questions and spoke about the film. She also came back for a visit during the Tenacious D set to regale us with a few tunes.


We will have more photos to share with you very soon. But you should come down to the Culver City to experience these events for yourself. The Actors' Gang has been performing in Los Angeles and around the world for 28 years now. Artistic Director Tim Robbins came up with the idea for the festival when he was told that it would be safer for him and the future of the company if we did not produce anything for the next few months. "We're not very good at doing nothing." Instead of boarding up the theatre, the doors are being flung wide open. Hope to see you around.
