Sabado Picante + The Merely Players

Let DC’s funniest improvisers give you a break from reality with their smart, surprising, and totally unscripted comedy!

Sabado Picante

Sabado Picante is an all-Spanish language improvised telenovela. But don’t worry, this indie troupe also speaks the universal language of scandal and betrayal. In this episode, they’ll warm you up with fiery drama!

Cast: Erick Acuña, Daniel Barrera, Elizabeth Cutler, Cecilia De Robertis, Analía Gómez Vidal, Matthew Mansfield, David Steib

The Merely Players

Have you ever thought, “Yeah, Shakespeare’s great and all, but, well, his plays are lacking something?” The Merely Players — An Improvised Shakespeare Show — are here to help. Based on audience suggestions, The Merely Players will improvise an entire Shakespearean play, truncating five acts of Bardic characters, settings, intrigue, wit, and poetry into a completely devised-in-the-moment performance. The play’s the thing!

Cast: Catherine Mullins, Zach Myers, Meredith Garagiola, Emily Dalton, Keegan Cassady, Sammy Garcia, Matt Mansfield, JoJo Franzen, and Shawn Westfall
