I'll be the narrator in Camenae's dramatic reading of Ninja III: The Domination for the Neo-Futurists' It Came From the Neo-Futurarium.

"A mysterious, relentless masked warrior kills a scientist, his entourage, and half of the Los Angeles Police Department before being gunned down on a golf course...and then his soul possesses the body of a sexy aerobics instructor to continue his mission of murder! Floating swords, mostly silent one-eyed martial artists, vaguely Asian mysticism, and the erotic properties of tomato juice combine into an action-packed kill-fest directed by Dana Dardai of the Camenae Ensemble Theatre Company."

For the sixth week of the competition, we've been randomly assigned a song (for me, Jump, Jive an' Wail by Louis Prima) and a partner (Jarrad Apperson) and we have to perform a dance to the song.

Our challenge for the week was to recreate a scene from a movie, adapted for the stage (much like what Bob Ladewig did for the first season's free-for-all finale). We were allowed one friend to help us perform and one of the judging criteria was recreation of details.

I recruited my friend Bilal Dardai and performed the "beating up the printer" scene from Office Space.
