REVELATORY READINGS: A SHOW OF IMPROVISED COMEDY & STORYTELLING
Revelatory Readings: A Show of Improvised Comedy and Storytelling combines the arts of improv and storytelling in a show of live comedy. It explores engaging works of art read by the show’s storyteller. Inspired by words from an intriguing love letter, poem, diary entry, or text message, performers create improvised characters and scenes. The show takes themes, premises, and ideas from the individual work into new places, scenarios, and situations.
This production invites audience members to come along for the experience, as storytellers and improvisers give a “revelatory” reading that’s never been performed before. Join us for one night or more as each show offers a unique experience that features a new revelatory reading.
SHOWING: MAY 5TH-MAY 7TH
