The Greenhouse: Two New Improv Concepts Take The Stage!
Advertisement
Join Highwire Improv for a high-energy night of comedy with some of the city's best comedians.
Never been to an improv show? It's spontaneous theater, off-the-cuff laughs, and a real good time! You'll get to see some of Baltimore's best improv comedy troupes do what they do best!
This show is a special event, capping off the Highwire Improv Greenhouse program, where we incubate new, inventive, and boundary-pushing improv concepts with the support of Highwire coaches and facilities.
Our lineup - show starts at 7pm ET:
FACTS!
Produced by Misty Letts and Jenny Kessler, the show is a character-driven format with troubadour-style edits in the vein of Roger Miller's rooster in Disney's Robin Hood or The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Multiple sets of characters weave together a story with The Troubadours summing up each scene in a two to three line ditty as they walk across the stage. The set ends with The Troubadours creating a "moral of the story" through a short song!
Real World: Abolitionists and Suffragists
Produced by Nekoro Gomes, the show repurposes the reality television show "The Real World" in the context of the abolitionist and suffragist movements of the mid-1800s. Four lead characters roughly based on Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Harriett Tubman, and Susan B. Anthony navigate racism, sexism, intersectionality, queer identity, etc, all while still on a reality TV show!
What is an improv show, exactly?
Improv is live theater created spontaneously by the performers with the inspiration of the audience. Unless noted otherwise, it’s a comedy show, made even more exciting, intriguing, and hilarious by the fact that none of it is pre-scripted! At an improv show you’ll see a wide range of creative and fascinating humans perform a highwire act by making comedy out of thin air! It can take many forms, including short competitive games, slice of life scenes, and full length sitcom or movie style performances!
A Highwire Improv show is truly a once in a lifetime performance, never done before and never to be done again!
