''The Thrilling Adventure Hour'' was a staged production and podcast in the style of old time radio that was held monthly at Largo, a Los Angeles nightclub located in the former Coronet Theatre. The show ran from March 2005 to April 2015. Each episode featured three non-serialized segments as well as songs and commercials from fictional sponsors. The show was written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker; and directed by Aaron Ginsburg. The show's original songs were written by Acker & Blacker with the composer and band leader Andy Paley. ==History== The roots of the ''Thrilling Adventure Hour'' began in Blacker's living room where he and Acker held a reading of their film script for a space western called ''Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars''. Struck by the quality of the performances, they decided to launch a stage show with a radio conceit, so that the performers had the luxury of holding scripts in their hands and minimal blocking. The conceit allowed Acker and Blacker to not impose too greatly on their actor friends, while maintaining a regular deadline for generating material, honing their craft and workshopping content in front of an audience.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thrilling Adventure Hour Interviews: Ben Acker and Ben Blacker )〕 ''The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour'' began a five-year run at M Bar in Hollywood in March 2005. The original WorkJuice Players were Dave (Gruber) Allen, Paget Brewster, Craig Cackowski, Mark Gagliardi, Marc Evan Jackson, Hal Lublin, Annie Savage and Paul F Tompkins. In episode six, Eban Schletter performed live musical accompaniment. Schletter wrote the theme song to "Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars". In episode seven, the show was joined by Andy Paley. Acker & Blacker and Paley created musical content for the show. Paley arranged Schletter's Sparks Nevada theme and performed themes and songs with his Andy Paley Orchestra, which, at the time, consisted of Jillinda Palmer, Ben Jaffe, and Brittney Westover. In episode eight, the show was joined by Joel Spence, a Foley artist and actor. Soon thereafter, Aaron Ginsburg joined as director. Shortly after that, Samm Levine, Danny Strong, and John DiMaggio joined the cast. Then James Urbaniak, John Ennis and Autumn Reeser. The band Common Rotation made a guest appearance in the show and played afterward. Common Rotation became a regular staple following the ''Thrilling Adventure Hour''. Marc Evan Jackson hosted Common Rotation's segment, which featured songs performed by Common Rotation as well as WorkJuice players and guest stars. The final performance of ''The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour'' at M Bar was in January 2010. In March 2010, The ''Thrilling Adventure Hour'' shortened its title and started its run at Largo at the Coronet where it continues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Martians and Superheroes and Nazis, Oh My!: 'Adventure Hour' Thrills Sell-Out Largo Crowd )〕 Beginning in January 2011, the ''Thrilling Adventure Hour'' began podcasting sketches from past performances.
