Oct. 7 featured performers:
The Silver Lining will do a long form set inspired by your suggestions. You will be treated to silliness, connection, philosophizing, and in all likelihood at least one character named Miranda. Cauldron-stirring is not out of the question.
Convergence has come together to perform The Buckingham, a hybrid form (short and long) created by Pam Victor.
Improva Sutra's set is a bit of short, a bit of long….. they will have fun pulling some stuff from the Improva Sutra archives!
