Featuring
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 performance is Dr. Jordyn Stuart, a recognized global cannabinoid expert with extensive knowledge and expertise in pharmacology and cannabinoid medicine. Her research has looked at the potential medicinal benefit of phytocannabinoids in different disorders including PTSD, schizophrenia, anorexia, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder. For the past five years, Dr. Stuart has worked as a Senior Medical Science Liaison within neurology, specifically in epilepsy and its comorbidities (including ADHD).
Cast: Ceci De Robertis, Tom Di Liberto, Nina Hsu, Jordana Mishory, Henry Ring, Goli Samimi, Nic Small, Bethany Stokes, Slli’m Williams
Hellcat
Hellcat is an all-female identifying group. We build improvised stories out of the truths and insights of the human experience, from those moments of despair and rage to the moments of elation, joy, and everything in between.

iMusical
iMusical joins the unpredictable playfulness of comedic improvisation with the emotional power of musical theater. A cast of singer-improvisers instantly creates a compelling new show with each performance, comprised of completely improvised scenes, lyrics and music, all inspired by a single audience suggestion.
Cast: Adrianne Thomas, Anna Claire Walker, Beth Lyons, Cassie Barnum, Elaine Tinkelman, Geoff Corey, Mark Chalfant, Matt Berman, Ryan Campbell, Simone Webster, Travis Charles Ploeger, Michael O’Connor
