STAGE TUBE: Trailer - SkyPilot Theatre's KONG: A GODDAMN THIRTY-FOOT GORILLA

In 1933, an expedition set out for the Indian Ocean, in hopes of creating the greatest film ever made. Instead, they brought back a giant captive gorilla. This was a terrible idea. KONG: A GODDAMN THIRTY-FOOT GORILLA is a genre-bending deconstruction/parody of the classic King Kong story, with commentary on the 1933 film, audience participation, dinosaur fights, and a very large ape on a very small stage. Watch the trailer below!

Director Jaime Robledo wrote and directed WATSON: THE LAST GREAT TALE OF THE LEGENDARY SHERLOCK HOLMES, for which he was nominated for an Ovation Award for Direction, won Best Comedy Direction at the L.A.
