WARNING: Don’t Try This At Home. Inspired by the bond of true friendship, Not4Kidz presents a Jackass-Style Variety Show. Guests will take the stage with a twist. Maybe you’ve got 8 minutes to complete your set, but you also need to finish an entire sheet cake before the lights go out? Maybe everyone on the team is blindfolded? Maybe your set is interrupted by a rodeo clown? Anything that would make MTV’s most lovable idiots proud. We’re Not4Kidz, and welcome to whackass!

Penguin Publishing is under new control as the Fitzgeralds, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Pisscaso, and Owen Wilson try balancing their life with their art in Paris, 1925. The new ownership over the publishing company values money over art, and needs their authors to produce a return on investment, or else they are gone. Join us for this staged reading to see how the writer's that shaped literature in the 20th century got their footing through sex, drugs, alcohol, and art.

IMPROV CLASSES AT
THE ANNOYANCE


Under the guidance of Artistic Director Mick Napier, The Annoyance provides excellent quality training in improvisation. Based on Napier’s book, Improvise: Scene From the Inside Out, the Annoyance philosophy focuses on the individual, giving students feedback and support to allow them to find and enhance their personal point of view and creative voice.
