Artist Update: Writer of Hide and I’ll Seek Series Stars In “Kendyl’s Poetry Corner” an IUP’s Sketch-o-Phrenia Comedy Skit

Today, I want to celebrate the talents of one of Doc’s Castle Media contributors. Too bad I had to stumble across this video literally years later. Otherwise, I’d post it a long time ago. But it’s better late than never most people will say.

Writer and creative consultant of Doc’s Castle, LLC Kendyl Walker wrote a mini skit while away at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for college. Kendyl’s Poetry Corner aired on the college’s cable network on comedy show Sketch-o-phrenia.

This isn’t the only time a skit written by Kendyl has been featured on the cable show. Another skit, “Trouble on Valentine’s Day,” was previously featured on Doc’s Castle Media. The show followed a boy who struggles to find a gift for his girlfriend for valentine’s day.

In Kendyl’s Poetry Corner, the segment makes a parody of the way poets recite poetry. As mainstream media modes a stereotype most people can pick up of a poet, we can find humor in Kendyl making fun of those same stereotypical constructs. This isn’t your typical Poetic Justice. Better yet, her character can come close to comparing to Dashiki from Don’t Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.

Watch Kendyl’s Poetry Corner at the link below.

Kendyl Walker is also the author of Doc’s Castle Media horror short story series Hide and I’ll Seek, a story of a young boy and girls quest to finding out who’s haunting and torturing the kids at their high school during lockdown.

Doc Takes On the #IceBucketChallenge for ALS!

I’m on the roll with writing these trendy posts, lately. Ha-ha. This week it’s all about the infamous Ice Bucket Challenge in recognition of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

People all across the nation take on dumping gallons upon gallons of ice-cold water to spread the awareness of ALS. It comes as a big relief for many because as of 2 weeks ago what was catching media attention was the terrifying Fire Challenge. But thank the heavens I haven’t seen any of those posts since then.

My sister Kendyl Walker agreed to do the challenge as she was called out by a friend from college. At first, she was hesitant about doing it because she recently went to the hairdresser two days prior to the dumping. But we found a way for her to take it on and keep her gorgeous hairstyle all at once.

After I got some enjoyment from watching my sister squirm from me pouring ice-cold water on her, she challenged me to take on the huge bucket of ice. I guess, I deserved it.

Though we both did the challenge, we still donated money to a great cause. I encourage others to learn more about Lou Gehrigs disease and to donate to ALSA. Every little bit counts.

Lots of celebrities have taken on the Ice Bucket Challenge. Who’s your favorite? Leave your comments below.

Artist Update: K. A. Walker’s “Trouble on Valentine’s Day”

Here’s some good news for the fans of our contributing writer K. A. Walker, author of the series Hide and I’ll Seek. She’s gone off to college at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), and is a contributing script writer for a series on the college’s cable network. She writes for Sketch O Phrenia, a comedy sketch show that focuses on the humor of everyday situations. The show is popular on the school campus and labeled on its Twitter as “the best comedy show since 2012.”

K. A. Walker sent in her first skit production that was premiered on the college series last week. “Trouble on Valentine’s Day” focuses on the possible worst nightmare of someone who’s considered deeply in love. That nightmare being forgetting about Valentine’s day. The skit follows a boy who forgets that it’s Valentine’s Day. He must figure how to please his girlfriend at the last-minute while not having money to give her what he believes is the best day of his girlfriends life. 

We’re very proud of K. A. Walker’s first production at this University. We hope that she continues to strive and do her best while perfecting her skills in screen writing.
