Reverse 5: The Scene

THE SCENE is an evening of improvised one-act plays. Don't be thrown if these funny, sorrowful, weird and powerful scenes are unlike any theater you've seen before. That's the idea. It's all improvised.

Blending parlor drama and surreal comedy, THE SCENE is hosted by monoscene-enthusiasts Reverse 5, four (yes, four) men from around the country who have been tinkering with one-act improvisation together since 2008. Their tales of fractured families and monstrous man-children are sure to chill and delight.

Reverse 5 is Dan Hodapp, Tim Martin, Ben Mauk, and Micah Sherman.

Justin Akin

Come and watch as they make you worship them*

* We realize that this is heavy handed and pretentious

THIS WEEK FEATURING:

Bergditch
Two worlds collide in this epic two-person improv show: The manic foolishness of Thomas Middleditch (Improvised Shakespeare, The Law Firm) and the honest hilarity of Matt Oberg (Big Black Car, Ugly Americans).

"The classic interplay between silly man (Middleditch) and straight man (Oberg) feels fresh when the pairing is this inspired" - TIME OUT NY

The Chris and Paul Show

The Chris and Paul Show are nothing short of vaudeville gold for a 2009 crowd. Described as "startling in their originality," this dynamic duo steals in the show in every venue they hit, and have the accolades to prove it! Winners of both the Best Sketch Troupe at the Snubfest Comedy Festival in Chicago in 2008, as well as the New Jacks Comedy Competition at Comix, this pairing were also finalists in the Skit Skat Comedy Festival, as well as selected for the Sacramento Comedy Festival, The Boston Improv Festival and the Philadelphia Sketch Festival.
