Uninvited
Wednesday
9:30 PM
You’re (un)invited! Uninvited is a fully improvised event-based disaster in three acts. The audience supplies the suggestion of why we’re gathered, and then we show you what wackiness and whimsy unfolded before, after, and then during the event. Join us for a one-hour chaotic descent into why we got ourselves Uninvited.

Jury Duty
Wednesday
9:30 PM
You've been summoned...to laugh. Jury Duty is a fully improvised courtroom comedy where the only thing on trial is sanity itself. Each night, the cast creates a brand new legal disaster based on audience suggestion, questionable logic, and total chaos. Watch as the foreperson loses their mind, evidence makes things worse, and deliberations go off the rails. No script, no rules, no justice. Just comedy The trial is fake, the laughs are real
