upcoming Community comedy nights:
|
The MVPs are veterans of the former mainstage Championship Show. They've stopped competing, put away their team jerseys, and now do exhibition shortform games for their fans. No sports, just great improv.
|
The Saplings plant some seeds with surprising results. Featuring Mare Berger, Micaela Foster, Susan Kan, Derek Luthi, Ethan Meigs, and Chris Mirabal.
|
The Marthas are a dynamic duo who make people laugh and scratch their heads in wonder.
|
Last session's Harold class just didn't want it to end... so they're back!
|
|
Please join Karin Perlman and Katharine Daube, who will celebrate the delights of ordinary life, the pleasure of utter nonsense, and perhaps some things in between.
|
Sweet & Salty plays with the ways a theme can have savory and sugary interpretations. We are Pam Haskins, Susan Kan, Borjana Mikic, Lisa Mintz, Carolyn Sailer, and Kayla Solomon.
|
Improva Sutra is a group of friends who met through improv and have become like the family you’d choose. They will perform La Ronde for you.
|
What is a life? Where do we begin and where do we end? Who are the people we travel through it with? Hillary Haft Bucs and Lorelei Erisis are both the twisted products of the Chicago Improv scene whose own lives have led them to Western Mass and Happier Valley Comedy! Come watch them perform their original (semi) serious form, “Morning, Noon, and Night!”
|
|
HVC's Founder Pam Victor and Artistic Director Scott Braidman step into a few characters' lives to see what they're up to.
|
The Silver Lining will treat you to silliness, connection, philosophizing, and in all likelihood at least one character named Miranda. Cauldron-stirring is not out of the question. Kristen Brookes, Hillary Bucs, Lynn Curry, Katharine Daube, Karin Perlman, and Kim Sherman.
|
Superego is Chris Cronin, just Chris Cronin, performing The Sybil: A one-person Harold.
|
It's a brand new team, created on the spot just for tonight! If you've completed Improv 4, throw your name in the hat for a chance to play!
