This Friday come see three shows for the price of one. Only $10. First show starts at 8PM.
Would love to see you there!
The Waterbrains & The Transformers. Unpredictable comedy from the top players from the Empty Stage, you never know what you'll see with the Waterbrains., Audience suggestions are given to players, who then create amazing scenarios using the "clap in" improv form. One simple suggestion of an activity or movement from the audience becomes just about anything as this group uses the "transformation" form to transition from one situation to the next.
The Great Adventure with Pangea. Longform improv: Watch members fuse characters, scenes and silliness into an unforgettable journey to somewhere else and then back again.
Being Humans & Vodka and Donuts. Watch members take events and milestones from everyday people's lives, and churn them into a comedic typhoon with a human heart. Each player in each group performs a short monologue, then the players create scenes using the "clap in" improv form. Directed by Stan Wells and Brian Mulligan.
Ok---I've given up on the OU boys! Y'all don't have your shit together. The thing is, I knew this more than 10 years ago. You Bobcat boys are like crack; it's hard to break the habit!
