Laurie, "Thank God You're Here" ??
Walter Roberson
show, "Thank God You're Here". The premise of the show is that
the main participant is dressed up in a funny costume and sent
onto a set that they've never seen before (with some regulars),
but with no script: everything hinges on the ability to ad-lib.
They showed headshots of some of the main participants. In the small
number of seconds onscreen, it -appeared- to me that one of them
was Laurie Anderson.
Has anyone else seen the clip and formed a judgement as to
whether it was indeed Laurie? And if so, anything solid known
about this?
The premise brings to mind part of the dialog of one of Laurie's shows,
I think it was for Bright Red, in which Laurie says roughly that she
loves working live because there is always the possibility that
something will go wrong that you will have to suddenly cope with, and
that makes every live performance "interesting". (I seem to recall she
emphasized the word "interesting".) Hence, it doesn't seem out
of the question to me that she might participate in a show with that
premise.
