Say goodbye to the heat, the grind, and the headlines. Say hello to a night of laughter with the WIT.
LIZARD GIRL
Formed in May 2016, LIZARD GIRL is a troupe tracing its roots back to the golden age of Obama-era Harold teams at WIT. Now performing as an ensemble, the group strives to create sharp comedic shows by inviting you into their quirky world. LIZARD GIRL asks the audience for a location and from there invites you to get to know the characters in this location by building a backstory for these characters and this world through various flashbacks. Much of the group’s success can be attributed to their shared love of collaborative creation and subverting expectations. LIZARD GIRL is also the only known team in DC to have bombed in front of award-winning author Jonathan Safran Foer.
Cast: Bryce Slinger, David Brescia-Weiler, Jared Smith, Jessica Norman, John Carroll, Krystal Ali, Liz Sanders, Mikey Blunschi, Patrick Fleury, Samiyyah Ali
Thin Walls
Thin Walls is WIT’s new Directors Series summer production. The show unfolds over a single day in one shared location, where every moment reverberates throughout the space in surprising ways. Performed in the “Close Quarters” long-form improv format, the cast builds a story as they go, letting discoveries in one corner spark unexpected consequences in another. It’s tightly woven, wildly spontaneous, and full of delightful and hilarious chain reactions.
Cast: Bethany Stokes, Bill Nelson, Dana Heiser, Daniel Barrera-Ortega, David Spears, Erick Acuña, Hannah Lord, Lauren Gabel, Patrick Fleury, Robin Dickey, Rose Buchbinder, Sanjana Raghavan
ABOUT WIT
WIT shows are perfect for a date night, out-of-towners visiting, or just something new and spontaneous to do. All for just $20.
For 28 years, Washington Improv Theater’s experienced teams of improv comedians have taken a simple suggestion or story from an audience member and turned it into a never-before-seen comedy show. And because every performance is based on an audience suggestion, that night’s show will never happen again! Our homegrown talent has gone on to SNL, The Daily Show, HBO’s Insecure and The White Lotus, and more!
