Tonight’s Lineup:
Madeline
Madeline’s performances possess the electric energy of a campaign rally, the charm of a candid conversation with a trusted advisor, and the conviction of a leader driven by a vision of progress and unity. With the very real presidential election in full swing, Madeline’s made-up on-the-spot characters provide a welcome escape from reality with their laugh out loud comedy!
Cast: Stacey Axler, Kevin Eggleston, Lauren Emily, Precious Jenkins, Adam Levine, Jack Lewis, Nick Martinez, Ryan McClure, Chizo Nwagwu, Dan O’Neil, Macey Schiff, Danielle Steger, Matt Strote, Eddison Wilkinson
The Broken Bones
The Broken Bones presents: “We Turn Injury Into Comedy.” We’ve all been hurt — perhaps by a hidden patch of ice, a sick collision while scoring the winning goal, or a very public breakup at your 28th birthday party. The Broken Bones will interview an audience member about an injury — be it physical, emotional, or other — and we will all heal together through comedy. The cast has some of DC’s funniest improvisers who have been featured by Comedy Central, The Washington Post, NPR, and at comedy festivals around the US and Europe.
Cast: Erick Acuña, Neil Baron, Geoff Corey, Darnell Eaton, Eva Lewis, Kristina Martinez, Kelsey Peters
iMusical
This long-running ensemble combines the unpredictable playfulness of comedic improvisation with the emotional power of musical theater. Their cast of singer-improvisers creates a compelling new show with each performance, consisting of completely improvised scenes, lyrics and music — all inspired by a single audience suggestion. You have to see and hear it to believe it!
The Washington Post calls iMusical “spot on.” The cast has performed to standing ovations in multiple comedy festivals in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, as well as at venues across the DC area, including the Kennedy Center. Under the direction of Travis Charles Ploeger since its creation in 2006, iMusical continues to explore the human condition via song and laughter… as only WIT can!
Cast: Cassie Barnum, Matt Berman, Ryan Campbell, Mark Chalfant, Geoff Corey, Beth Lyons, Michael O’Connor, Travis Ploeger, Adrianne Thomas, Elaine Tinkelman, Anna Claire Walker, Simone Webster
