In the Box Annex is staging an improv-meets-cabaret mashup where the structure of a chorus line collides with the chaos of unscripted comedy, and the result is exactly as unpredictable as that sounds. The Box is a small, close-contact room where the performers are never more than a few feet away, which means the audience...
The cast takes audience suggestions and builds a Shakespeare-style play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all, in real time. The Box is a small, close room where the performers can see your face when a scene goes sideways, which adds something you don't get in a bigger theater. Shows here tend to run tight,...
Two improv groups share the stage at The Box for an hour of unscripted comedy, the kind where the audience suggestions actually matter and occasionally derail everything in the best way. The Box is a small black-box theater, which means sightlines are good from anywhere and the performers are close enough that you'll feel every...
Matt Banwart brings his Midwest-honed standup to Two Cranes Bistro & Brew for a Friday night headlining set. Two Cranes runs a tight room for comedy, meaning the bistro layout keeps tables close to the performer and ambient bar noise reasonably controlled, which matters more than people expect. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so...
Long-form improv at The Box, starting just after 10 p.m. local time and wrapping up before midnight. The Box keeps its room small and its crowd close, which means the performers are feeding off you whether you want them to or not, so sit accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead...
The Schmoobies are a teen improv troupe performing under the In The Box Annex program, which is The Box's youth development arm rather than its main stage. Shows like this tend to run short and loose, which is either charming or chaotic depending on the night, and usually both. If you have a kid in...
Two improv groups sharing a stage at The Box means the room feeds on itself, and on a good night that feedback loop produces something no scripted set can replicate. The Box is a small, focused room where the audience is close enough to the performers that your reaction becomes part of the show, so...
In The Box Annex takes improv somewhere extraterrestrial with A51*, a one-hour comedy set built around the kind of absurdist premises that either land brilliantly or flame out in real time, which is the whole point. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience is close enough to the performers that there is...
Two improvisers (or a full ensemble, depending on the night) build scenes from nothing in real time at one of the corridor's few dedicated performance spaces. The Box is a proper black-box theater, which means sight lines are good and the room is small enough that a bad show has nowhere to hide and a...
Long-form improv from the Improv Theatre company at The Box, starting well after midnight on a Saturday, which tells you exactly what kind of crowd you'll find. The Box is a proper black box theater, so even a small audience feels like it was planned that way, and the format rewards staying attentive rather than...
