Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans have another reason to be optimistic today, as the cult movie-riffing series, which recently raised more than $6.5 million for its latest incarnation on Kickstarter, has announced a new live tour to accompany development of MST3K season 13. Dubbed the Time Bubble Tour, the event was announced today by the MST3K team in a post for backers of the project. The tour will begin on Oct. 30 in York, Pennsylvania before continuing into early 2022, although the organizers are quick to point out that more dates will still be added in the coming weeks, which will hopefully fill in some geographic gaps in the tour, which seems to lean Midwestern at the moment. Full tour dates can be seen here.
Cast for this particular MST3K tour will include actress Emily Marsh as “lead human” Emily Connor, stepping into the role most recently seen on screen as played by Jonah Ray. Marsh has been part of previous MST3K live tours, and will reportedly riff on screen in the upcoming MST3K season as well, joined by both Ray and series creator Joel Hodgson, making his long-awaited return to the titular theater. On the tour, Marsh will be joined by Tom Servo (Conor McGiffin), Crow (Nate Begle), and GPC/Mega-Synthia (Yvonne Freese), who have likewise all been part of previous MST3K live tours. A short trailer for the tour can be seen immediately below.
