Join Joseph Farady, “the temporary resident of the universe,” in the second installment of TUTV Table Read to find out. The Fifth Dentist, a comedy set in space, was written by Temple student Sam Watson.
Scientific genius and dilettante detective, Joseph Farady, and his trusty sidekick, Igor, travel through time and across multiple universes to prevent science from being used as an instrument of evil, leaving ironic commentary in the wake of their warp signature.
In this episode, Faraday appears on the set of a reality TV show to win the affections of one Lady Dopamine, a woman with powers that effect the pleasure receptors in the human brain, only to leave the show and travel to a world controlled by dentists. Tune in to learn how an obsession with science can make you undateable, that Faraday’s robot ex-wife left him for a toaster, and the extent to which dentists will go to torture the living.
TUTV Table Read was fashioned as a radio play, but is performed live, and airing unadorned and unedited as it was captured by Temple students. The program stars Adam Wahlberg as Faraday, and features local actors Joseph Trainor, Jenna Kuerz, Nikiya Palombi, Joe Vallee, Loren Lepre, John Groody, and Curtis K. Case.
It will air Friday, February 7 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m. on TUTV. Watch it online when it airs.
