Broken Gears Project Theatre tonight opens it latest production, David Mamet’s AMERICAN BUFFALO. The three-man cast features our own comedy guy Terry Yates in yet another dramatic role.
The Broken Gears Project Theatre grew out of the Poor Mans Productions group that produced last year’s TWELVE ANGRY MEN, which also featured Terry.
Broken Gears describes AMERICAN BUFFALO as an “engrossing, tragic take on the American Dream” as three characters each pursue their own warped definition of success until corruption and ultimately violence erupt.
The production runs for three weekends — June 3-5, 10-12, and 17-19 — at ISP Studios in Irving, Texas. Shows start at 8pm.
Short clip from comedian and defensive driving instructor Todd Justice, shot in Vancouver in front of a sold-out crowd during his”Total World Domination” tour. This was the last week of a 7-week run all over western Canada for Yuk Yuks Comedy Club chain.
Comedian Todd Justice had developed a new show, one aimed more at corporate audiences.
This latest endeavor is a squeaky-clean motivational comedy show entitled LAWS OF LIFE. This presentation is a unique blend of common sense rules of conduct and behavior mixed cleverly with observational humor and laugh-out-loud storytelling. The humor is geared towards the unfortunate souls who may occasionally break the rules and reap the consequences of inappropriate decision-making.
The beauty of the humor in this show is that it’s funny without ever being vulgar or offensive. With thoughtful and insightful wit at every turn, Todd uses the art of laughter and fun to make any often-boring topic both enjoyable and educational.
A 12-year comedy veteran, Todd Justice released his first CD, AND JUSTICE FOR Y’ALL, was release in January 2004, to rave reviews and national. Later that same year, he was able to bring his own brand of laughter to the US troops across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Todd teaches classes for us in Hurst and Ft. Worth.
