The bourbon is strong, the air is thick, and nobody is telling the whole truth.
Join us for a very special show as Asheville Improv Festival headliner and longtime narrative improv veteran Dan O'Connor brings his long-running, fully improvised Southern tragicomedy, inspired by the electrifying world of Tennessee Williams. Fueled by audience suggestions, each performance becomes a fever dream of magnolias, moonlight, smoldering desire, and emotional mayhem. Secrets simmer beneath polite smiles. Desire ignites. Confessions detonate. Hearts break beautifully. Poetic, scandalous, and uproariously funny—and never to be seen again!
First premiering at Los Angeles's legendary Impro Theatre (a company Dan founded), this highly acclaimed improv performance has been staged in theatres all over the world. Dan will be joined by incredibly talented LA actors and improvisers, Lisa Frederickson and Ryan Smith, as well as Asheville-based Adesto Theatre Company's founders, Laurie Jones and Paul Vonasek!
This very special 90-minute performance (with intermission) will be held at the Diana Wortham Theatre at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. Do not miss this!
The Asheville Improv Festival is brought to you by Double Dip Productions.
