Small Mediums at Large + iMusical + Hellcat featuring Ask Me Anything with Robyn Lingo

Need an antidote to grim headlines? WIT will give you a jolt of optimism while delivering laughs from our talented ensembles.

ABOUT WIT

WIT shows are perfect for a date night, out-of-town visitors, or simply something new and spontaneous to do. All for just $20.

For more than 25 years, our hilarious, experienced improvisers have taken a simple suggestion or story from an audience member and turned it into never-before-seen comedy. And because every performance is made-up on-the-spot, no two shows are ever the same, so you can keep coming back for more! Our homegrown talent has gone on to “SNL,” “The Daily Show,” HBO’s “Insecure” and “The White Lotus,” Hulu’s “How to Die Alone,” and more!

ABOUT ASK ME ANYTHING

From fearless advocates to visionary leaders, join us as we shine our spotlight on a series of noteworthy and inspiring individuals, who are making a difference in the DC area and beyond. Each guest will share stories and insights through a candid Q&A session. From there, a cast of improv comedians will use that material as inspiration for their performance.

Why doom-scroll when you can get out of the house (and out of your head) with a night of hope, community, and comedy?

ABOUT ROBYN LINGO

Robyn Lingo is the executive director of 826DC, a nonprofit arts education organization that helps DC students build their writing skills, share what matters to them, and forge a lifelong relationship with writing. With more than 15 years of executive leadership in nonprofit management, Lingo has developed programming and collaborative partnerships that provide authentic spaces for youth to investigate, affect, and change the world around them. Lingo joins 826DC from Mikva Challenge.

Prior to this role, Lingo was the founding Executive Director for Mikva Challenge DC, growing the initial pilot program to a citywide organization serving more than 1,200 young people.

ABOUT SMALL MEDIUMS AT LARGE

Five mediums come together to answer an audience member’s burning question for the spiritual realm. Join them as they process their visions with a high energy, comedic romp through the great beyond. At the end of the show, the sisters of Small Mediums at Large will consult their journey to provide an answer for the audience member.

Cast: Lauren Gabel, Katie Munn, Aubrey Peterson, Andrea Quach, Arie Rich, and Tandra Turner

ABOUT WIT ENSEMBLE IMUSICAL

iMusical is WIT’s longest-running ensemble. They join 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, comprised of completely improvised scenes, lyrics, and music — all inspired by a single audience suggestion. You (almost) won’t believe your ears!

Cast: Adrianne Thomas, Anna Claire Walker, Arie Rich, Cassie Barnum, Catherine Deadman, Elaine Tinkleman, Geoff Corey, Katie O’Donnell, Mark Chalfant, Matt Berman, Michael O’Connor, Patrick Hsieh, Ryan Campbell, Simone Webster, Stanley Seiden, and Travis Ploeger

ABOUT WIT ENSEMBLE HELLCAT

Hellcat is WIT’s hilarious all-women ensemble. They build improvised stories out of the truths and insights of the human experience — from moments of despair and rage, to moments of elation and joy (and everything in between!) They’ll make you laugh and feel by weaving 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: Krystal Ali, Sarah Baldwin, Kaelan Fleury, Melissa Gedney, Devin Hiett, Liz Hoke, Steph Lilly, Símonica Mendes, Clare Mulligan, Aubrey Peterson, and Lori Pitts
