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.

The Hypothesis
The Hypothesis combines science and improv to both inform and delight audiences. Come prepared with your burning science questions you always wanted answered and see it examined under a microscope. Or simply get ready to have your mind blown, and funny bone tickled, as the Hypothesis dishes about all things science!
Their special guest for this show is Senior Fellow at Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) Emmy Probasco. Her focus is on the application of AI for national security and ways to ensure safe and responsible AI applications. Emmy served as a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy and holds master’s degrees in Forced Migration and Economic and Social History from Oxford University, and a degree in Political Science from the U.S. Naval Academy.

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.
Cast: Erick Acuña, Neil Baron, Geoff Corey, Darnell Eaton, Eva Lewis, Kristina Martinez, Kelsey Peters
