''Something Theater'' is an American television show created by Bobby Ciraldo, David Robbins, and Andrew Swant.〔Mary Louise Schumacher, "Art, better than and infomercial in the middle of the night", Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, December 11, 2009〕 The half-hour program has aired in Southeastern Wisconsin on The CW affiliate WVTV since February 2009.〔Steven Hyden, "Attention local drunks and stoners: New episode of Something Theater tonight", The Onion A.V. Club, December 11th, 2009〕 It is broadcast from Milwaukee, Wisconsin on a bi-monthly basis, usually on a Friday night.〔Onion article, http://www.avclub.com/milwaukee/articles/set-your-dvr-found-footage-festival-appears-on-som,42907/〕 Episodes of ''Something Theater'' typically have nothing to do with one another, so viewers never know what to expect. Each episode is usually split into short comedic segments that feature animation, music videos, viral videos, short films, or experimental films. In December 2009 an episode aired which featured outtakes from the 2014 feature film ''Hamlet A.D.D.''. In May 2010 David Robbins produced an episode entitled "The County Line" which was later shown at The Suburban gallery, curated by Michelle Grabner, and at the ''No Soul For Sale'' art fair at the Tate Modern in London.〔Journal Sentinel article http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/entertainment/93795864.html〕 In July 2010 ''Something Theater'' aired an episode that featured a 30-minute version of ''Gas 'N Fuel'', a short film made by the creators of the Found Footage Festival. A 15-minute version of the film had previously screened at the South by Southwest Film Festival and 12 other film festivals.〔Onion article, http://www.avclub.com/milwaukee/articles/set-your-dvr-found-footage-festival-appears-on-som,42907/〕 In September 2010 an episode of ''Something Theater'' screened at the Oriental Landmark Theatre as part of the Milwaukee Film Festival.〔Milwaukee Film Festival schedule http://www.milwaukee-film.org/tixSYS/2010/xslguide/eventnote.php?EventNumber=1161¬epg=1〕 In July 2011 an episode entitled "The Title is a Drawing" aired which was made by Los Angeles-based artist/filmmaker Marc Horowitz. Steven Hyden of The Onion A.V. Club called the series, "All weird, all the time."〔The Onion A.V. Club article http://www.avclub.com/milwaukee/articles/attention-local-drunks-and-stoners-new-episode-of,36239/〕 Mary Louise Schumacher of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said, "This is not art for artists. Swant, Ciraldo and Robbins obviously love TV themselves and are earnestly trying to create something for a mainstream audience. This is far more rare than you might expect. In fact, I don’t know of any contemporary artists who are trying to make TV shows."〔Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/entertainment/79086877.html?sort=last+to+first〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Something Theater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
