Girass! + Anacostia Improv + Peahen + The Hypothesis

Say goodbye to the heat, the grind, and the headlines. Say hello to a night of laughter with WIT.

Girass! 

Girass! is a long-running multigenerational indie team that that explores the emotional themes that arise from scenes we improvise based on your one word suggestion. We make strong connections between ourselves and with you, the audience, based on your suggestion. Our set will have you thinking a lot and laughing a lot!

Anacostia Improv

A practice group based and formed in Anacostia (thus our name). We branched into performing a pretty flower to show as what we’ve learned. Based on premises of living in the nation’s capital, we showcase those moments and characters to the stage.

Peahen

“Get ready for a hilarious improv show where an all-female cast takes the stage to create spontaneous comedy magic! These quick-witted women will weave together heartwarming and hilarious scenes, leaving you in stitches with every twist and turn. Expect fun, unexpected characters, and plenty of laughs!” -Chat GPT

Chat: Abby Fu, Analia Gomez Vidal, Carly Kraybill, Jojo Franzen, Kacie Peterson, Katie O’Donnell, Lauren Gabel, Meredith Garagiola, Mikki Smith, Renan Snowden, Sarah Herhold

The Hypothesis

“The Hypothesis combines science and improv to both inform and delight audiences. The team consists of scientists and science enthusiasts with diverse science backgrounds — ranging from neuroscience to ecology, from climatology to psychology, and everything in between.

The Hypothesis format consists of the audience asking the performers a question (ex: How does memory work? Why is the sky blue? What happens in a black hole? Can you terraform Mars?), and players with the knowledge then attempt to answer it. The Hypothesis has also welcomed special guest scientists to talk about their area of expertise in a short presentation to inspire the show. So come prepared with that one burning science question you always wanted answered. Or simply get ready to have your mind blown, and funny bone tickled as the Hypothesis takes you on a scientific comedy journey you never thought possible.”

Cast: Bethany Stokes, Ceci De Robertis, Christina Dabney, Goli Samimi, Gwendolyn Bogard, Henry Ring, Jordana Mishory, Nick Tschernia, Nina Hsu, Rose Buchbinder, Tom Di Liberto

ABOUT WIT
