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

Hellcat

Hellcat is an all-female identifying group. We build improvised stories out of the truths and insights of the human experience, from those moments of despair and rage to the moments of elation, joy, and everything in between.

We’ll make you laugh and we’ll make you feel. We’ll weave together characters you identify with and root for, as well as kooky weirdos you hope you’ll never, ever have to meet in real life. One thing is for sure, don’t mess with the Hellcat.

Cast: Aubrey Peterson, Clare Mulligan, Devin Hiett, Kaelan Sullivan Fleury, Krystal Ali, Liz Hoke, Lori Pitts, Melissa Gedney, Sarah Baldwin, Simonica Mendes, Steph Lilly
