Under the Stars Tonight!
Join us UNDER THE STARS TONIGHT! for a late night astrology themed improvised talk show hosted by Joan and Friends, and co-starring YOU. Enjoy improvisers sharing their spooky true stories, volunteer to receive oracular guidance from the cast, meet characters who claim strange supernatural abilities, and join us for a “seance” jam at the end, when, under Joan’s guidance, we can share or confess our real unexplained or supernatural encounters in the dark, until we all get chills. It’s the perfect show to round out our fall performance series and to get us in the mood for Halloween, Samhain, All Saints Day, Día de los Muertos… you get the picture!
Cast: Kevin Eggleston as Joan and a special cast of interviewees and characters
