Translating improv and theater sketches into a web show is a lot tougher than it looks. What plays in a theater will not necessarily work in sitcom. It may have something to do with how drunk the audiences are on the improv circuit and the constant reciprocated energy. The Portland-based Action/Adventure Theater is making their transition work. Their new series, Fothing, starts off as a bumpy ride but eventually becomes some entertaining Web TV. The group is responsible for the live improv show "Fall of the House," which is currently a weekly hit. The premise of the series, written and directed by Miranda King set around, well, a fictionalized version of the Action/Adventure theater. Tragedy hits when their financing, a friend with a trust fund, falls through. Each episode follows the twentysomething cast trying to make some quick cash to keep the lights on in their new rehearsal space.
