Small Theater
A two act improv show. First, Annoyance students get a chance to enter their IDs into a fishbowl to be randomly selected to perform in an improv jam with veteran Annoyance teachers and performers. Then, the night closes with a set from Sight Unseen, an Annoyance house team who, for almost the past decade, has been known for its loose narrative form and vibrant (sometimes vicious) characters.

Cassidy Russell
Cassidy Russell has been improvising since middle school (cool!). You can see her perform weekly at the Annoyance with Sight Unseen or at iO with Deep Schwa. Career highlights include getting her tongue cut out in Splatter Theatre and filming a commercial where all four of the other actors were cats. Otherwise, she's worked on It's Christmas Goddamnit (director), I Know What You Did Last Splatter (assistant director), so goddamn many improv and sketch shows, and runs Oddball Social Club. If you're thinking about taking one of her classes, she won a lot of high school theater awards, so she knows what she's talking about. Cassidy has appeared in multiple (multiple!) local car commercials. It's weird how lucky she is to get to work with the people she gets to work with.
