Doctor Madblood: What's New

What's Running in Doctor Madblood Theatre: April 2008
(The Madblood Theatre is located on the second floor of the interactive Madblood Tour)

May 2 - 8 "Hair of the Dog" (1995) Max Madblood (Jerry F. Harrell) is vexed when Ernie (Carter Perry) and Jinx adopt a stray Werewolf (Craig T. Adams in a tour de furs performance) and bring it inside Madblood Manor. Nurse Patience (Penny Palen) also lets a band of gypsies enter and run loose (Ron Newman, Candy Dennis, Lexi Caswell in a tour de farce performance). Count Lacudra (Mike Arlo in a tardy Fritz performance) arrives to answer a few of the pressing questions of the Man-wolf's backstory. The rest becomes clear after the gypsy exorcism.

May 9 - 15 "Still Waldo" (2002) Dr. Madblood (Jerry F. Harrell) and Nurse Patience Dream (Penny Palen) attempt to recycle a wax figure of Waldo Monster (Craig T. Adams) left over from the recent Madblood museum exhibit. Thinking his real live buddy is in danger, Ernie Monster (Carter Perry) tries to intervene, but Max turns the figure into a robot. Pungo's Fine Artist, Toulouse Latrine (Mike Arlo) is Keane to make a portrait of the Doctor. Can the insufferable artist find someone who will sit still long enough for him to immortalize them in oils? And can either of the Waldos get rid of that waxy build-up? Features footage of the 2002 Madblood Museum exhibit. Also features the creepy vocal stylings of Bernie Melton as PJ the Invisible DJ and Latrine art by C.T. Adams.

May 16- 22 "Your Heart's Desire" (2002) Dr. Madblood (Jerry F. Harrell) is paid an ominous visit by his evasive, time-traveling Uncle Feloneous (Craig T. Adams), who leaves a mysterious parcel and promptly departs for parts and time zones unknown. Later, a thinly (or, rather, thickly) disguised Prince of Darkness arrives, badgering Max to hand over a possession stolen from him by Feloneous. The object: the key to "You're Heart's Desire." Brain gets the Gift Shop Blues. Spectacular character morph animation by Daniel Harrell.

Special Guest: Kenny Shagetz as Damon Darque
Special Honey-toned Verbalizations: Bernie Melton as PJ the Invisible DJ.
Brief Appearances: Penny Palen as a Nurse Dream Impersonator, Geoff Kennedy as Ozzy Ozzboing.

May 23 - 29 "Bored of the Rings" (2003) Does the name "Baggins" have a familiar ring? In this exploitative little opus, Dr. Madblood (Jerry Harrell) is bewildered when Brain hankers for a more powerful ring than the one crusted around the inside of his fish tank. Waldo (Craig T. Adams) and Ernie (Carter Perry) also get a bad case of "Ring Around The Collar" as they traipse about the back lot, searching for the mythic "Mount Dumb" so they can play an ultimate round of Extreme Ring-toss. Don't miss the nostalgic Don't-Blink-Or-You'll-Miss-It cameo by Flamdorf the Wizard and his sprightly Sprites (Susie Weston Passanisi and Susie Refo) from days of Pungo past. Regular spooky intros and bumps voiced by Bernie Melton as PJ the Invisible DJ.

May 30 - June 5 "The Speeding Ticket" (1979) Doctor Madblood (Jerry F. Harrell) tries to calm Nurse Velma von Basketcase (Susie Weston Passanisi) when she arrives at work bearing a shiny new speeding ticket. Includes part-padding, ad-libbing and scenery chewing as only the infamous Madblood Cast Number 1.5 could toss it into your living rooms. With the likes of Jim Stanley, Mike Arlo, Susie Refo, Don Davis, Dennis Nelson and Joe Penque. Don't miss this antinque episode!

Enjoy!

As you'll have discovered on the splash page, Doctor Madblood has opened Madblood Manor to visitors - or at least the rooms that are ready for visitors to explore. Check out the good doctor's crib in this in-front-the-scenes look at the home of Pungo's most famous resident.

The rich media experience of the Madblood Manor tour requires a high speed interent connection.

The Library has some video down at the far end with Doctor Madblood's Diary available on one of the bookshelves - and you can now find the Time Machine up and running with some vintage Madblood scenes down in the Basement where there are reports of Baron Von Basketcase hovering around for no apparent reason.

And be sure to check back every week for a new episode in the Theater up on the second floor!
